Acta Physiologica
Sinica (APS) is sponsored by the Chinese Association for Physiological
Sciences and Shanghai Institutes of Biological Sciences, Chinese
Academy of Sciences (CAS), and is published bimonthly by the Science
Press, China. APS publishes original research articles in the field
of physiology as well as research contributions from other biomedical
disciplines and proceedings of conferences and symposia of
physiological sciences. Besides ¡°Original Research Articles¡±,
the journal also provides columns as ¡°Brief Review¡±, ¡°Rapid
Communication¡±, ¡°Experimental Technique¡±, and ¡°Letter to
the Editor¡±. Articles are published in either Chinese or English
according to authors¡¯ submission.
When the journal started
publication in 1927, it was named The Chinese Journal of Physiology,
and was published only in English. In 1953, the name of the journal
was changed into Acta Physiologica Sinica, and all articles were
published in Chinese with English titles, abstracts, address of
author(s), and later with English keywords, illustrations¡¯ heading and
full legend, and table heading. All the published articles have been
strictly peer-reviewed. This tradition of APS has won a nation-wide
recognition and made it one of the core academic magazines in China.
APS is now covered by many
important index systems such as Biological Abstracts,
Chemical Abstracts, Index Medicus, Excerpta Medica,
BIOSIS Databases, MEDLINE and

Magazine Prize of China and the Special Prize of Excellent
Academic Magazines of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
