The Journal strives to publish original work of the highest quality that elucidates basic biological, chemical, or physical mechanisms of broad physiological significance. Apart from general importance, scientific quality, and rigor, the major criteria for acceptance are: originality; definitive mechanistic information; and interest to a broad readership. The Journal publishes articles that strive to understand integrative function through innovative model simulations; conventional theoretical articles will be published only if they deal with subjects about which the Journal often has published experimental studies—or if they are submitted as a companion to an experimental article that depends upon the theoretical article in some significant way.
