Elsevier and The Physiological Society launch new journals to advance nutrition and precision medicine

The Physiological Society (TPS), a pre-eminent scientific learned society and Elsevier, a global leader in research publishing and information analytics, are delighted to announce a partnership to advance the physiological sciences. TPS and Elsevier will launch two new journals in 2025, focusing on the rapidly developing fields of nutritional physiology and precision medicine. These areas are expected to grow significantly and the new journals will position the partners at the cutting edge of these dynamic disciplines.

Nutritional physiology explores how nutrients from food interact with the body at the cellular and physiological levels. TPS has long supported the nutrition community through its journals and conferences, and this support will be further enhanced with the upcoming launch of The Journal of Nutritional Physiology.

Precision medicine, a rapidly evolving field, allows for personalised treatments that improve outcomes and reduce side effects by targeting person-specific genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The Journal of Precision Medicine: Health and Disease will cover a wide range of topics at the intersection of physiology and personalised healthcare.

Building on the formidable reputations of both organisations, the two new journals will become essential platforms for researchers to share their pioneering research and insights. Elsevier has supported the research and healthcare communities to advance science and improve health outcomes for more than 140 years. TPS boasts a rich history of gold-standard publishing, including the renowned The Journal of Physiology and Experimental Physiology, as well as Physiological Reports, published in collaboration with the American Physiological Society.

TPS and Elsevier will soon begin a search for the inaugural Editors-in-Chief for both journals. They plan to start welcoming submissions from the autumn, with the first papers to be published in early 2025.

Announcing the partnership, TPS President Professor David Attwell said: “This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for The Physiological Society. For almost 150 years, we have been at the forefront of the life sciences, and these new journals in nutritional physiology and precision medicine demonstrate our continued leadership in ground-breaking areas of the physiological sciences.

“These new journals will augment The Physiological Society’s existing world-class publications portfolio, which features rigorous peer review. As these new journals will show, physiology is at the heart of innovative developments that are revolutionising our understanding of the human body, leading to enhanced health outcomes and improved population health

Louise Curtis, Senior Vice President of Life Sciences & Social Sciences at Elsevier, added: “We are delighted to announce this new partnership with The Physiological Society. These new journals will disseminate impactful research and foster innovation in nutritional physiology and precision medicine, driving significant advances in understanding human health and improving lives, core to both the mission of The Physiological Society and Elsevier.”
