Current Opinion in Physiology (COP)
Journal Descriptions
Current Opinion in Physiology is a bimonthly, peer‑reviewed review journal first launched in 2018 and published by Elsevier. It provides invited expert reviews that critically summarize recent advances and emerging trends in the broad field of physiology. Rather than primary research, the journal focuses on interpretive commentary and synthesis of recent literature — typically drawing on work published over the previous two to five years — to highlight major breakthroughs, ongoing debates and future research directions. The journal’s content spans diverse areas of physiological science including cellular and molecular physiology, systems physiology (such as cardiovascular, respiratory and neurophysiology), integrative and comparative physiology, metabolic regulation, exercise physiology, and translational themes that bridge basic physiology with clinical applications. Each issue is organized into special issues centered on specific thematic topics, often curated by guest editors with expertise in that niche. These special issues provide accessible yet authoritative overviews of targeted subtopics that are of broad interest to physiologists across biological and biomedical disciplines. The editorial process involves Section Editors and the Editor‑in‑Chief, supported by the editorial board, who commission and oversee high‑quality reviews. As part of Elsevier’s CO+RE platform, Current Opinion in Physiology enjoys global visibility through the ScienceDirect platform and serves as an essential resource for researchers, educators, clinicians and graduate students seeking concise, expert insight into current physiological research.
