Instruction for Authors
Aims and Scope
The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology (Korean J. Physiol. Pharmacol., KJPP) is the official journal of both the Korean Physiological Society (KPS) and the Korean Society of Pharmacology (KSP). The journal launched in 1997 and is published bi-monthly in English. KJPP publishes original, peer-reviewed, scientific research-based articles that report successful advances in physiology and pharmacology. KJPP welcomes the submission of all original research articles in the field of physiology and pharmacology, especially the new and innovative findings. The scope of researches includes the action mechanism, pharmacological effect, utilization, and interaction of chemicals with biological system as well as the development of new drug targets. Theoretical articles that use computational models for further understanding of the physiological or pharmacological processes are welcomed. Investigative translational research articles on human disease with an emphasis on physiology or pharmacology are also invited. KJPP does not publish work on the actions of crude biological extracts of either unknown chemical composition (e.g. unpurified and unvalidated) or unknown concentration. Reviews are normally commissioned, but consideration will be given to unsolicited contributions. All papers accepted for publication in KJPP will appear simultaneously in the printed Journal and online.
Categories of Publications
Editorials are invited perspectives on the area of physiological and pharmacological sciences, dealing with very active fields of research, current trends on physiology and pharmacology, new insights and debates.
Original Articles are papers reporting the results of basic physiological and pharmacological investigations that are sufficiently well documented to be acceptable to critical readers. Articles on original methodologies are also included in this category. Original article on the physiological and pharmacological significance of bioactive natural products is invited, provided that chemical nature of the compound is clearly identified.
Invited Reviews provide a review and perspective of important subjects for physiology and pharmacology research written by an invited expert in this field of science. Reviews should present an update of recent developments in an active field.
Letter to the Editors includes a reader's comment on an article published in KJPP and a reply from the authors. It is limited to specific comments or responses related to a recent KJPP article, the authors of which will be invited to reply.
Organization of the Manuscript
1. Original Articles
Manuscripts should be submitted initially as MS Word files. The text of your manuscript (including title page, abstract, main text, references, and figure legends) followed by tables and figures should be uploaded with separated files. Please submit the separate files of tables and figures in jpg (jpeg), gif, doc (docx), ppt (pptx) or pdf file. You can also upload it, after put many kinds of files together under a doc format file. To facilitate the reviewing process, the submitted manuscript should be formatted with the main body text in 11 point size Times New Roman, and a line spacing of two. Text should be left-aligned and surrounded by 3 cm margins. Upon acceptance, an original source of MS Word file of the manuscript will be required. High-quality figure files will be requested if necessary. The authors must also ensure that the figure legends apply to both versions of the figures.
The manuscript is to be arranged in the following order: (1) title, author(s), complete address(es) of institution(s), running title, and address for correspondence; (2) Abstract and keywords; (3) Introduction; (4) Materials and Methods; (5) Results; (6) Discussion; (7) Acknowledgements; (8) References; (9) Figure legends; (10) Tables; (11) Figures; (12) Supplementary data; and (13) Author contributions statement. Number all pages with the title page as page 1.
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter. Standard abbreviations may be used without definition. Any nonstandard abbreviations should be spelled out on first usage, followed by the abbreviated form in parentheses. Thereafter, the abbreviated form must be used throughout the manuscript. In other cases, authors should avoid abbreviations unless they are easily understood and help in reading the paper. When introduced, in the abstract and text or in labeling figures, abbreviations must be defined at first in the abstract and text, respectively.
