A dynamic online publication that will add 4,000 pages of new and updated content per year
Includes more than 30,000 pages of classic content from the prestigious Handbook of Physiology series
A world-class editorial team comprising leading names in the field
Fully citable content, eligible for abstracting, indexing, and ISI ranking
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. With the launch of Comprehensive Physiology in January 2011, we will begin publishing regular issues that update and expand the classic content from HoP, as well as adding fresh review material. In this way, we aim to capture the full breadth and depth of the evolving science of physiology.
New and updated materials will be published in a quarterly serial format that will make Comprehensive Physiology eligible for indexing by A&I services such as PubMed and also 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.
