Journal of Blood Pressure

About Journal of Blood Pressure

Advancing physiological understanding of blood pressure regulation, vascular dynamics, and cardiovascular homeostasis through rigorous peer-reviewed research and mechanistic inquiry.

Mission: Mechanistic Insights into Blood Pressure Physiology

The Journal of Blood Pressure (JBP) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing physiological knowledge of blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular system function. JBP publishes mechanistic studies that elucidate how blood pressure is controlled at molecular, cellular, organ, and system levels — bridging experimental physiology, integrative modeling, and translational mechanistic research.

Our editorial framework emphasizes physiological mechanisms over clinical outcomes, focusing on how biological systems maintain cardiovascular homeostasis, respond to physiological challenges, and adapt across different conditions. From baroreceptor function and renal sodium handling to vascular smooth muscle reactivity and neural autonomic control, JBP provides a platform for researchers exploring the fundamental principles governing blood pressure dynamics.

As part of the Open Access Pub portfolio, JBP ensures global accessibility to groundbreaking physiological research, enabling scientists, educators, and translational researchers worldwide to access mechanistic insights that inform both basic science and the bridge toward understanding human physiology.

Why Publish with JBP?

JBP offers physiologists and cardiovascular researchers a dedicated venue for mechanistic studies that deepen understanding of blood pressure regulation. Unlike clinically focused journals, JBP prioritizes physiological mechanisms, experimental rigor, and systems-level integration — making it the ideal choice for researchers investigating how the cardiovascular system works.

  • Mechanistic Focus: Manuscripts emphasize physiological processes, regulatory pathways, and system dynamics rather than clinical endpoints or patient outcomes.
  • Rigorous Peer Review: Expert reviewers with specialization in cardiovascular physiology, renal function, autonomic control, and vascular biology ensure methodological quality and mechanistic clarity.
  • Global Open Access: CC BY 4.0 licensing ensures unrestricted access, citation freedom, and maximum research impact across academic and translational communities.
  • Rapid Publication: Streamlined editorial workflows deliver first decisions within 18 days on average, with accepted articles published online within 3 days.
  • Interdisciplinary Reach: JBP bridges molecular physiology, organ function, integrative systems modeling, and computational approaches to blood pressure regulation.
  • Comprehensive Indexing: Articles are indexed in major databases including Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and discipline-specific repositories to maximize discoverability.
Editorial Philosophy: JBP adheres to COPE ethical standards, ensuring transparent peer review, conflict of interest disclosure, and adherence to reporting guidelines such as ARRIVE for animal studies. We are committed to publishing reproducible, methodologically sound physiological research that advances the field.
Scope: Physiological Mechanisms of Blood Pressure

JBP welcomes original research, reviews, and methodological papers exploring the physiological basis of blood pressure control and cardiovascular function. Our scope encompasses molecular, cellular, organ, and systems-level investigations across diverse experimental models and physiological conditions.

Cardiovascular Physiology

Cardiac output regulation, ventricular function, heart rate variability, myocardial mechanics, and cardiac electrophysiology.

Vascular Physiology

Arterial compliance, endothelial function, vascular smooth muscle reactivity, microcirculatory dynamics, and hemodynamic modeling.

Renal Function & Volume Regulation

Sodium handling, fluid balance, pressure-natriuresis relationship, tubular transport mechanisms, and glomerular filtration dynamics.

Neural & Autonomic Control

Baroreceptor function, sympathetic/parasympathetic regulation, chemoreceptor reflexes, and central neural integration.

Hormonal & Paracrine Regulation

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, natriuretic peptides, endothelin, nitric oxide, prostaglandins, and local vasoactive mediators.

Blood Pressure Variability

Short-term and long-term BP fluctuations, circadian rhythms, postural responses, and physiological responses to environmental changes.

Exercise & Hemodynamic Response

Exercise-induced cardiovascular adjustments, hemodynamic redistribution, metabolic coupling, and physiological adaptation mechanisms.

Physiological Modeling

Computational models of cardiovascular function, systems biology approaches, mathematical simulation of BP regulation, and integrative physiology frameworks.

Experimental Techniques

Novel methods for BP measurement, vascular reactivity assessment, renal clearance studies, and physiological monitoring technologies.

Scope Clarification: JBP focuses on physiological mechanisms and how biological systems work. Manuscripts emphasizing clinical outcomes, disease management, therapeutic interventions, or patient care should be directed to clinical cardiology or hypertension medicine journals. Our priority is mechanistic understanding, not clinical application.

Peer Review & Publication Process

JBP operates a rigorous single-blind peer review process, where expert reviewers assess manuscripts for methodological quality, physiological accuracy, data integrity, and mechanistic insight. Authors receive constructive feedback designed to strengthen scientific rigor and enhance clarity.

Review Criteria: Reviewers evaluate experimental design, appropriate controls, statistical analysis, physiological relevance, reproducibility, and adherence to reporting standards (e.g., ARRIVE for animal studies). Manuscripts must demonstrate clear mechanistic contributions to understanding blood pressure physiology.

Upon acceptance, articles undergo professional copyediting and formatting before rapid online publication. Authors retain copyright under CC BY 4.0, ensuring maximum dissemination and citation potential.

Submission Guidelines

Authors should carefully review JBP's Instructions for Authors before submission. Manuscripts must include structured abstracts, clear methodology sections, appropriate statistical reporting, and ethical approval documentation.

Submit your research via the online submission system or contact [email protected] for inquiries.

Article Processing Charges

To support open access publication, JBP charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts. This fee covers peer review administration, professional editing, hosting infrastructure, and global indexing services. Waivers and discounts may be available for authors from low-income countries or those with funding constraints.

Author Testimonials

"I was impressed by the swift services of the journal and easy navigation beginning from manuscript submission to galley proof. I would recommend future authors: 'Consider this journal if you are wondering where to publish your scientific work.' They are Google Scholar indexed, so you do not have to worry if your scientific work won't reach the community of other researchers."

Naiya Patel
