The American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology (AJP-RICP) publishes original studies of physiological mechanisms that maintain homeostasis at all levels of biological organization. It emphasizes integrative and comparative approaches to understanding regulatory processes.
The journal focuses on how organisms adapt to their environment. Topics include body temperature regulation, cardiovascular function, respiratory control, fluid and electrolyte balance, and endocrine regulation. AJP-RICP seeks research that uses comparative approaches to elucidate fundamental physiological principles. It aims to understand how diverse species solve common physiological challenges. The journal's audience includes physiologists, biologists, zoologists, and other scientists interested in regulatory, integrative, and comparative physiology.
Indexed in major databases, AJP-RICP ensures wide visibility and impact for its published research. It publishes high-quality studies that contribute to our understanding of physiological regulation in health and disease. By promoting rigorous peer review and maintaining high standards of scientific excellence, the journal advances physiological knowledge and its applications.
