Scope
Integrative Physiology is devoted to encompassing the broader aspects of physiology that involve the integration of mechanisms and regulatory functions at all biological levels ranging from the molecular, cellular, tissue and organs to clinical studies. The genomic revolution has opened up exciting new areas of discovery, but the challenge for physiologists has been to incorporate this new information into an expanding, thus more complicated, view of physiological systems. The narrowing of focus required to extract the nuances of biological function – today, and more so in the future – and will require avenues to bring together and "integrate" this information into known physiological processes and regulatory systems. Therefore, Integrative Physiology encourages submissions that bring new insights into physiological processes and regulatory systems as well as their perturbation during pathological processes. Papers that encompass multidisciplinary approaches and techniques that focus on mechanisms and regulatory functions are encouraged. How regulatory and homeostatic systems are altered in transgenic animals is of particular priority. Topics of interest include neurohumoral control of the circulation, hemodynamics, heart function and heart failure; circadian rhythms, clocks and cycles; regulation during sleep, awake and stressful states; temperature control; thirst and fluid volume homoeostasis; appetite, energy balance and obesity.Indexed in: PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), EMBASE, Semantic Scholar, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Science Citation Index Expanded, CLOCKSS, EBSCO, OpenAIRE, Zetoc
Integrative Physiology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology and Code.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Integrative Physiology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Integrative Physiology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Physiology.
