The Journal of Circadian Rhythms is accepting submissions for publication for 2020.

The Journal of Circadian Rhythms is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that publishes research articles dealing with circadian and nycthemeral (daily) rhythms in living organisms, including processes associated with photoperiodism and daily torpor. The journal includes both basic and applied research at any level of biological organization (molecular, cellular, organic, organismal, and populational). Studies of daily rhythms in environmental factors that directly affect circadian rhythms are also pertinent.

The Journal of Circadian Rhythms is indexed in PubMed, the Web of Science/Clarivate Analytics and Scopus. JCR's 2019 Scopus CiteScore is 3.7. The journal is at the 35% (16/24) of Endocrine and Autonomic Systems journals and 41% (101/172) of Physiology ones.

The Journal of Circadian Rhythms publishes as soon as articles are ready. There is no delay in research being released. Submissions can be sent throughout the year. The journal’s average submission to acceptance time in 2019 was 62 days.

We accept online submissions via our journal website. See our Author Guidelines for further information. Alternatively, please contact the editor for more information.

Here are two of our editor’s picks from last year’s volume:

Barbato, E., Mianzo, H., Litman, P. and Darrah, R., 2019. Dysregulation of Circadian Rhythm Gene Expression in Cystic Fibrosis Mice. Journal of Circadian Rhythms, 17(1), p.2. DOI: http://doi.org/10.5334/jcr.175

Avello, P.A., Davis, S.J., Ronald, J. and Pitchford, J.W., 2019. Heat the Clock: Entrainment and Compensation in Arabidopsis Circadian Rhythms. Journal of Circadian Rhythms, 17(1), p.5. DOI: http://doi.org/10.5334/jcr.179

Thank you to reviewers

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the peer reviewers who gave their time and expertise during 2019 to help ensure that the Journal of Circadian Rhythms continues to publish rigorously tested research. As always, we are extremely appreciative of the efforts put in to ensure that high academic quality is maintained.
