Journal of African Association of Physiological Sciences

About this journal

The Journal of African Association of Physiological Sciences (JAAPS) is a prestigious international journal dedicated to publishing original research and review articles in the field of physiological sciences, with a particular emphasis on African perspectives. Its scope encompasses all aspects of physiology, from molecular and cellular mechanisms to organ systems and whole-organism function. JAAPS welcomes contributions that explore the physiological adaptations of African populations to diverse environmental challenges, investigate the impact of disease on human health, and advance the understanding of fundamental physiological processes.

The journal's key themes include, but are not limited to, human physiology, animal physiology, environmental physiology, exercise physiology, neurophysiology, endocrinology, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, renal physiology, gastrointestinal physiology, immunology, and reproductive physiology. JAAPS particularly encourages research related to African health issues, including infectious diseases, malnutrition, and cardiovascular disease, and seeks to promote collaboration between African researchers and their international counterparts.

The target audience for JAAPS comprises scientists, researchers, educators, and practitioners involved in physiological sciences, as well as students and professionals interested in the physiological adaptations and health challenges of African populations. The journal provides a platform for sharing cutting-edge research findings, fostering collaborations, and advancing knowledge in the field.

JAAPS is recognized as a leading publication in the field of physiological sciences in Africa and beyond. Its impact is reflected in the high quality of its publications, the citation rates of its articles, and its influence on the development of physiological research in Africa. The journal actively contributes to the advancement of scientific knowledge, the training of future generations of physiologists, and the improvement of healthcare outcomes in Africa.
