The Journal of Physiological Sciences is published six times a year in both print and online versions. In the online version, an article will be published within 3 days upon acceptance as an “ahead-of-print” version, as an accepted form of manuscript with minimum editing. This ahead-of-print version is to be replaced by a final version that will be copy edited, proofread, and in page layout form, when published in a regular issue of JPS. A digital document identifier (DOI) will be assigned in the ahead-of-print release, and this will not change thereafter.
