Journal overview

Aims & Scope: Temperature is a unique peer-reviewed physiological journal with an international audience. It welcomes research papers broadly related to interactions between living matter and temperature. While the primary focus is on the medical physiology of body temperature regulation, research in all scientific disciplines and at all levels of organization - from submolecular to biospheric - is of interest to the journal. 

Journal Features

Temperature aims to serve the international community of thermoregulation researchers, as well as scientists, students and physicians who are interested in temperature-related sciences.  The journal thrives in its role as an Open Access thermoregulation science community hub, supporting researchers in providing a home for excellent peer-reviewed research.

Temperature publishes a number of article types, including Editorials, Original Research Articles, Reviews, Methods, Discovery articles, Letters and more. The editorial team have recently started a collection of Methods articles, published as 'The Journal Temperature: Toolbox' to additionally highlight new methodological research tools and evaluation of best practices for those already in use.

By collecting a variety of research and article types in this developing field into one journal, the journal continues to fulfil its mission of broader education around thermoregulation, sharing new ideas and keeping our readership informed on the latest developments in all temperature-related sciences.  The journal will continue to promote further discussion and sharing of important, high quality international research that reflects the critical importance and impact thermoregulation plays in a variety of scientific and investigatory settings.

Temperature maintains an authoritative international Editorial Board, which aims to attract interesting research to the journal and provides decisive, expert peer review.

The Editorial vision for this journal is explained in the inaugural Editorial: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ktmp20/1/1
