Physiology International

Physiology International is a quarterly journal of experimental medicine that Akadémiai Kiadó publishes in Budapest, and it covers basic and clinical physiology together with pathophysiology. The present title dates from 2016, when it replaced Acta Physiologica Hungarica, and the 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9.《生理学国际》是 Akadémiai Kiadó 在布达佩斯出版的一份实验医学季刊，内容涵盖基础与临床生理学以及病理生理学。现名始于 2016 年，接续《Acta Physiologica Hungarica》，2025 年期刊影响因子为 1.9。

Scope

• Original research papers, review articles, mini reviews, short communications and rapid preliminary notes all find a place in the journal.原创论文，综述，小型综述，短篇通讯与快速初报都能在该刊找到位置。

• Basic physiology at the cellular and organ-system level falls inside the remit, and clinical physiology sits beside it.细胞层次与器官系统层次的基础生理学都在范围之内，临床生理学与它并列。

• Pathophysiology is treated as a continuum running from subcellular organisation up to the whole organism, and a paper may enter at any point of that range.病理生理学被看作从亚细胞结构到整体机体的连续谱，论文可以从这一区间的任一点切入。

• Work from neighbouring disciplines is accepted when the physiological question stays central to the argument.邻近学科的工作亦可投来，条件是生理学问题仍处于论证的中心。

• The history of the physiological sciences is named in the scope, so archival and biographical studies have a legitimate place.生理科学史被写进征稿范围，档案研究与人物研究因此有正当位置。

• Review articles and mini reviews carry the weight of synthesis, and the journal lists them apart from original papers.综述与小型综述承担综合梳理的功能，刊物把它们与原创论文分列。

• Short communications and rapid preliminary notes give timely results a route that does not wait for a full-length paper.短篇通讯与快速初报为时效性结果留出通道，不必等待完整长文。

• Recent issues have carried studies of exercise capacity, dispatcher-guided cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the retinal response to dehydration.近期各期刊出过运动能力，急救调度员指导下的心肺复苏以及脱水对视网膜影响的研究。

• Work on mitochondrial-derived peptides and on drug-induced lung injury appears in the same volumes, which shows how wide the physiological remit runs.线粒体来源肽与药物性肺损伤的研究出现在同一卷中，可见生理学范围之宽。

• No single experimental model defines the journal, and integrative designs that combine several organ systems are accepted as readily as work on one organ alone.该刊不由单一实验模型界定，整合多个器官系统的设计与单一器官的研究同等看待。

• Authorship reaches beyond Hungary, and laboratories in Asia, the Middle East and North America appear in recent volumes.作者群并不限于匈牙利，近几卷中可以看到亚洲，中东与北美的实验室。

• The stated aim is a forum for important new research papers, and that phrase has stayed in the journal's description across the change of title.其自述宗旨是为重要的新研究论文提供园地，这句话在刊物更名之后仍留在介绍里。

• Papers appear in English, and experimental work on human volunteers is reported beside work on isolated tissue and on whole animals.论文以英文发表，以人体志愿者为对象的实验与离体组织实验，整体动物实验并列刊出。

• A recent paper on ferulic acid and methotrexate-induced lung injury shows the kind of experimental pharmacology the journal favours, with a mechanism pursued at the tissue level.近期一篇关于阿魏酸与甲氨蝶呤致肺损伤的论文体现了该刊偏好的实验药理学取向，机制追到组织层次。

History

• The journal began in 1950 as Acta Physiologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, a publication of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.该刊 1950 年以《Acta Physiologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae》之名创刊，是匈牙利科学院的出版物。

• That first title carried the Academy's imprint in Budapest, and the National Library of Medicine still links the three titles in one record chain.首个刊名在布达佩斯以科学院的名义出版，美国国立医学图书馆至今把三个刊名串在同一条记录链上。

• In 1983 the journal was renamed Acta Physiologica Hungarica, and volume 61 opened the new series.1983 年刊物改名为《Acta Physiologica Hungarica》，第 61 卷开启新的序列。

• Two volumes appeared each year from 1983 to 1986, after which the journal settled into a quarterly rhythm.1983 年至 1986 年每年出版两卷，此后固定为季刊。

• The Hungarica title closed with volume 102, number 4, in December 2015.《Acta Physiologica Hungarica》在 2015 年 12 月以第 102 卷第 4 期收尾。

• Physiology International started in March 2016 with volume 103, number 1, so the volume count runs without a break.《生理学国际》于 2016 年 3 月以第 103 卷第 1 期接续，卷号没有中断。

• Akadémiai Kiadó, the publishing house of the Academy, has issued every title in the chain, and its DOI prefix 10.1556 marks the current articles.三个刊名都由科学院旗下的 Akadémiai Kiadó 出版，现行论文的 DOI 前缀为 10.1556。

• MEDLINE coverage runs from volume 61 in 1983, and the new title entered the database with volume 103 in March 2016.MEDLINE 的收录自 1983 年第 61 卷起算，新刊名则在 2016 年 3 月随第 103 卷进入该库。

• Print and electronic versions share the number 2498-602X, and the online edition also registers 2677-0164, so one article carries two identifiers.印本与电子版共用 2498-602X，网络版另注册 2677-0164，同一篇文章因此带两个标识。

• Four issues appear each year, and the annual output is modest, at about two dozen papers.该刊每年出版 4 期，年发文量不大，研究与综述合计约二十余篇。

• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9, below the 2.3 of 2024 and the 2.2 of 2023, while the five-year figure holds at 1.9.2025 年期刊影响因子为 1.9，低于 2024 年的 2.3 与 2023 年的 2.2，五年影响因子维持在 1.9。

• In the 2025 Journal Citation Reports the title sits in the fourth quartile of Physiology, at rank 69 of 89.在 2025 年期刊引证报告中，该刊位于生理学类第四区，排名 69/89。

• About 32 per cent of recent articles came out open access, and the journal has drawn roughly 527 citations with a cited half-life of five years.近年约 32% 的文章以开放获取方式发表，刊物累计被引约 527 次，被引半衰期为 5 年。

• The 2026 volume is the 113th of the uninterrupted series, so a reader can trace a paper of 1950 and a paper of 2026 through one volume count.2026 年的卷次为连续序列中的第 113 卷，读者可以凭统一的卷号把 1950 年的论文与 2026 年的论文串起来。

• The Academy link has never been severed, and the Budapest imprint has stayed the same through both changes of title.与科学院的关联从未中断，两次更名之间布达佩斯的出版地标注始终一致。
