Aims & 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 also 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.
