John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and The Physiological Society have announced
the renewal of their publishing partnership, building on over eight
years of collaboration. The renewed partnership will ensure the
society’s titles,The
Journal of Physiology and Experimental
Physiology, continue to develop as thought leaders of
physiological research.
“Since their establishment The Society’s journals have built a
reputation for excellence and quality,” said Professor Jonathan Ashmore,
President of The Physiological Society. “Over the last eight years this
reputation has grown and our partnership with Wiley has helped to build
on this.”
Professor Ashmore continued, “Our journals already accommodate the needs
of funders and research scientists around the world, offering an open
access route for those who wish to make their article available to
non-subscribers through Wiley’s OnlineOpen option, and all our journal
content becomes free to access after 12 months. Our renewed partnership
with Wiley will ensure that the journals stay at the forefront of
innovation in a time of rapid evolution in academic publishing.”
“The renewal of Wiley’s partnership with The Physiological Society
allows us to build upon almost a decade of collaboration, with new
initiatives that benefit both authors and readers of these prestigious
journals,” said Stephen M. Smith, President and CEO, Wiley. “Together we
will continue to support and promote the latest world-class
physiological research through sustained innovation using new delivery
channels and models.”
The Journal of Physiology publishes the latest research from
across the discipline, with the aim of developing our understanding of
the principles and mechanisms which govern our bodies. Published since
1879, the journal’s international editorial board is led by
Editor-in-Chief, Professor David Paterson of Oxford University, and
currently holds an Impact Factor of 4.881.
Wiley has supported the journal’s role as an opinion leader with new
initiatives including the publication of dedicated neuroscience issues –
eight of which will be published in 2012.
Experimental Physiology, edited by Professor Paul McLoughlin of
University College Dublin, focuses on emerging areas of physiological
and pathophysiological research, with emphasis on molecular and cellular
functions. The journal holds an impact factor of 3.211 and will move to
online-only publication from 2013.
Under this renewed agreement The Physiological Society and Wiley will
also collaborate closely on a number of new initiatives including
Wiley’s role as principal sponsor of the 2013 Union
of Physiological Sciences Congress.
