The National Journal of Physiology is the official publication of the Association of Physiologists of Tamilnadu started in the year 2016. The journal publishes bi-annualy in a year i.e., January-June, July-December. National Journal of Physiology releases articles in English and focuses on all aspect of the Physiology.
National Journal of Physiology is a periodical publication intended for reporting novel research, thereby facilitating the progression of physiological science. It is an in-house journal of the Association of Physiologists of Tamilnadu, which is one of the top regional registered Association doing yeoman service to all the basic medical science departments and physiologists in particular across all South Indian States. Physiologists are constantly trying to answer key questions in areas ranging from the functions of single cell to the interactions between human populations and our environment here on earth, the moon, and beyond. There are hundreds of journals in publication for basic medical sciences, but very few in particular for Physiology alone.
In the above context, we have taken all efforts that our National Journal of Physiology contains articles that are peer reviewed and ensured that all articles meet the journal’s standards of quality and scientific validity. Both experimental and clinical research studies are welcome and given due importance. We are pioneers in publishing research articles, review articles, commentaries, short communications and case reports since 2007. Our journey started as a bulletin, progressed to an in-house non-indexed journal of APT and now, striving hard to get into the list of Indexed National Journals.
We publish the results in an organized manner, describing experiments or calculations with enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the outcome. Each such article becomes part of the permanent scientific record in our armamentarium.
Our Chief Editor of NJP is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of national and international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians, PG & UG students and the public nationwide.
The aim of NJP is to provide the most complete and reliable source of information on current developments in the field of Physiology.

The Association of Physiologists of Tamilnadu
Worldwide, Physiologists are known for their credibility in the field of Bio Medical research. The idea of bringing the Physiologists of Tamilnadu on single platform was mooted by a few well meaning Physiologists representing various Medical Institutions who met at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital, Chennai 600 044 and decided to form an association of Physiologists of Tamil Nadu (APT) in the year 2007.
The primary focus of the association is to promote and encourage academic research activity. It also provides an opportunity to the physiologists to reveal their academic talents, research capabilities thereby sharing knowledge among Physiologists.

A comprehensive outlook on open access policy that we follow:
Open access refers to the practice of making peer-reviewed scholarly research and literature freely available online to anyone interested in reading it at no cost and with limited restrictions with regards to reuse. Open access publications are freely and permanently available online to anyone with an internet access. The journal allows unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium (which is non-commercial), provided the article is properly attributed. All the articles are published, without any technical, financial, gender limitations, in an agreed format on the journal website and deposited in archive and indexing databases as applicable to the journal. All articles are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), thereby making it fully citable and searchable by title, author name(s) and the full text.
Why open access publishing?
Restricted access to scientific research and advancements through subscription pay wall hinders communication within the scientific community. Moreover, restricted access can also hinder the education and dissemination of scientific knowledge to the aspiring younger generations who are keen to pursue a career in science. Increased productivity and development of science can only be achieved by diffusing knowledge and providing the facilities for creating permanent repositories such as Open Access.
The use of a Creative Commons 4.0 License (CC-BY-NC 4.0) enables user/reader/peer to use the content with clear permission in a way that it can be reused and redistributed as long as the article source is appropriately given credit for non-commercial purpose.
