Project Description
Comprehensive Physiology is the most authoritative and comprehensive collection of physiology information that has ever been assembled. Its starting point is more than 30,000 pages of content from the American Physiological Society's renowned Handbook of Physiology (HoP) series, which is presented here for the first time in an online format. Since the launch of Comprehensive Physiology in January 2011, we are publishing quarterly issues of brand new content that expands on the classic content from HoP. In this way, we aim to capture the full breadth and depth of the evolving science of physiology.
New review articles are published in an online-only quarterly serial format that allows Comprehensive Physiology to be indexed in PubMed and that makes it eligible for an Impact Factor via Thomson ISI. The primary audience for Comprehensive Physiology is academic scientists in the life sciences. Secondary audiences include advanced students in the life sciences and medicine, instructors in these disciplines, and academic clinicians.
Oversight of the ongoing editorial and scientific development of Comprehensive Physiology is provided by a distinguished Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) sponsored by the American Physiological Society and chaired by Editor-in-Chief Ronald L. Terjung. The EAB has in turn recruited a world-class team of Topic Editors who are working to assign articles and recruit authors. For a full listing, go to the Editors page.
