Journal of Biological Rhythms is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes papers in the fields of Psychology and Biology. The Journal is primarily focused on papers that describe any aspect of biological rhythms with a special emphasis on seasonal and circadian rhythms. However, papers on various other rhythms are also published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms. These publications can be reviews, commentaries, editorials, letters, and any other format that is relevant to biological rhythms. As such, the authors of the publications have a diverse set of backgrounds and base their findings in areas like ecology, neurobiology and behavior, psychology and psychiatry, endocrinology, developmental biology, pharmacology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and mathematical modeling. The Journal of Biological Rhythms has been in publication since 1986 and is currently published by SAGE Publications. The journal's editor is William J Schwartz.
Scope
editJournal of Biological Rhythms publishes papers on the understanding of basic nature, mechanisms, and functions underlying the generation, entrainment and expression of biological rhythms. The journal contains original research primarily on circadian and seasonal rhythms.
