Spanish magazine with 77 years of relevance
Founded in 1945 in Barcelona by the Professors of Physiology Juan Jiménez Vargas and Francisco Ponz, under the auspices of the committee Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry has been published uninterruptedly since its foundation, under the initial name of Revista española de Fisiología. From 1967, under the direction of Prof. Ponz, it began to be published in Pamplona, and in the 1990s, it became part of Publications Service of the University of Navarra. From 1994 onwards, Prof. Ana Barber shared the co-direction of the journal, which in 1996 changed its name to Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, in order to promote its internationalization.
In 2010, the journal became part of the distribution system and network of publishing house Springer (currently Springer-Nature) with the consequent increase in its visibility and dissemination, which is reflected in the progressive increase in its impact factor. Currently, its editors are the professors of Physiology Mª Pilar Lostao Crespo, since 2010, and María Jesús Moreno Aliaga, since 2015, researchers of the area of Nutrition and Molecular Metabolism of the research center in Nutrition of the School of Pharmacy and Nutrition, CIBERobn and IdiSNA.
