Physiological Reports

Physiological Reports is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Physiological Reports rather than just read about it. In short: Physiological Reports is a peer-reviewed open access online-only scientific journal covering original research in all areas of physiology. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of The Physiological Society and the American Physiological Society.

Key takeaways

Physiological Reports belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Physiological Reports to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Physiological Reports from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Physiological Reports is a peer-reviewed open access online-only scientific journal covering original research in all areas of physiology. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of The Physiological Society and the American Physiological Society. The journal was established in 2013. Susan Wray (University of Liverpool) was the first editor-in-chief until 2017 . As well as receiving direct submissions, the journal has manuscripts "cascaded" to it from the journals of its owner societies (American Journal of Physiology, Experimental Physiology, and The Journal of Physiology). Since 2015 it has also received papers cascaded by Acta Physiologica, a publication of the Scandinavian Physiological Society. The journal is abstracted and indexed in Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Physiological Reports

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Physiological Reports claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Physiological Reports before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Physiological Reports ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Physiological Reports

In research: Physiological Reports appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Physiological Reports in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Physiological Reports is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals associated with learned and professional societies, Academic journals established in 2013, Continuous journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Physiological Reports outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Physiological Reports in simple terms?

Why does Physiological Reports matter?

Because it connects several science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Physiological Reports?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.

What does this page cover?

It gives you a compact reference excerpt plus original lgStudy explanations, examples, applications and study material on Physiological Reports.
