About the Journal of Body Fluids
A peer-reviewed, open access platform advancing the physiological understanding of body fluids through rigorous mechanistic research and systems-level investigation
Advancing Body Fluid Physiology Through Scientific Excellence
The Journal of Body Fluids (JBF) serves as a dedicated forum for researchers investigating the physiological properties, regulation, and systemic functions of body fluids. As an open access, peer-reviewed journal, JBF publishes high-quality research that elucidates the mechanisms governing fluid homeostasis, composition, transport, and their roles in maintaining physiological equilibrium across organ systems.
Our mission centers on disseminating mechanistic insights into how body fluids operate within biological systems — from molecular signaling in interstitial spaces to systemic circulation dynamics and cerebrospinal fluid regulation. JBF bridges experimental physiology, systems biology, and translational research, providing unrestricted access to findings that advance scientific understanding and inform evidence-based approaches to fluid-related physiological questions.
JBF welcomes investigations that explore the fundamental physiological mechanisms of body fluids across multiple levels of biological organization. Our scope encompasses molecular, cellular, tissue, and systems-level research that clarifies how body fluids contribute to homeostatic regulation and physiological function.
Mechanisms of blood composition, plasma protein regulation, rheological properties, coagulation physiology, oxygen transport, and cardiovascular fluid dynamics.
CSF production, circulation, absorption mechanisms, blood-brain barrier function, and neurophysiological signaling within central nervous system fluid compartments.
Interstitial fluid dynamics, lymphatic transport mechanisms, tissue fluid balance, osmotic regulation, and intercellular communication via fluid-mediated signaling.
Cellular volume regulation, ion channel physiology, membrane transport mechanisms, pH balance, and metabolic compartmentalization within intracellular fluid spaces.
Gastric secretion mechanisms, intestinal fluid transport, digestive enzyme regulation, mucosal barrier function, and nutrient absorption physiology.
Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption mechanisms, urine concentration physiology, acid-base regulation, and systemic fluid-electrolyte balance.
Synovial fluid composition, lubrication mechanisms, viscoelastic properties, and biomechanical function in joint physiology.
Aqueous humor dynamics, vitreous physiology, endolymph and perilymph regulation, and sensory organ fluid homeostasis.
JBF accepts diverse manuscript formats to accommodate the varied approaches researchers employ when investigating body fluid physiology.
Comprehensive reports of novel experimental or computational studies that advance mechanistic understanding of body fluid physiology through rigorous methodology and data-driven conclusions.
Critical syntheses of current knowledge on specific aspects of body fluid physiology, identifying knowledge gaps, methodological challenges, and future research directions.
Descriptions of innovative techniques, analytical approaches, or experimental protocols for measuring, analyzing, or modeling body fluid properties and dynamics.
Concise reports of significant preliminary findings, technical advances, or novel observations that warrant rapid dissemination to the research community.
Evidence-based theoretical frameworks or mechanistic hypotheses that propose new models for understanding body fluid regulation and function.
JBF maintains rigorous standards through expert editorial oversight and thorough peer review. Our experienced editorial board comprises physiologists, systems biologists, and fluid dynamics specialists who ensure that published research meets the highest standards of scientific rigor and reproducibility.
Review Process
All submissions undergo single-blind peer review by specialists in the relevant physiological subdiscipline. Reviewers assess experimental design, methodological validity, statistical analysis, data interpretation, and the significance of findings to body fluid physiology.
Authors receive constructive feedback aimed at strengthening manuscripts, regardless of final publication decisions. Our editorial team prioritizes transparency, fairness, and timely communication throughout the review cycle.
Quality Assurance
JBF implements multiple quality checkpoints including plagiarism screening, ethical compliance verification, and statistical review when appropriate. We adhere to international publication standards and encourage authors to follow discipline-specific reporting guidelines.
Accepted manuscripts undergo professional copyediting to ensure clarity while preserving technical accuracy. Authors review galley proofs before final publication to confirm all content is presented correctly.
