Becoming Involved With
Journals
As an Author
Original research on any topic of physiology can be
submitted to the APS journals. From basic science studies at the genomics
level through cellular and organ-based studies to the applied studies at
the whole organism and clinical levels, the APS journals cover the gamut
of the very best of physiology research.
APS members receive all of the APS journals online
for free, and members who are first or last authors of articles can
publish scientifically necessary color in their articles for free.Information on the APS journals, including
instructions for authors and how to submit a manuscript are available at
www.the-aps.org/publications/journals/index.htm.
As a Reviewer
The APS Journals are well known for their thorough
and fair peer review process. To ensure this, usually two expert referees
are invited by an Editor to review each paper. The peer review process is
performed online and tracked electronically by the same APS Central system
used for submissions. This process made it possible for the Editors of the
APS Journals to substantially shorten time to first decision, which
currently is less than 30 days on average (see the specific Journal
Editor's Page for current statistics).
As an Associate Editor
Each Editor in Chief chooses a group of experts in
their field to serve as Associate Editors for the journal. Associate
Editors make decisions on articles in their related fields, invite review
articles and editorials, and follow the policies and scope of the journal
set by the Editor in Chief and the Publications Committee.
As an Editor
The Editor in Chief of each of the APS Journals is
chosen after interview by the Publications Committee. The Editor sets the
scope of the journal by choosing topics for invited reviews and developing
Calls for Papers. The Editor works with the Associate Editors to make
decisions on papers, with the Publications Committee on ethical issues,
and implements policies set by the Publications Committee.
