History

The Journal of Physiology was first published in 1878 and edited by Michael Foster. In 1893–94 Foster's colleague John Newport Langley took over as editor. Langley remained the proprietor and editor until his death in 1925, when The Physiological Society bought the journal from his widow. Charles Scott Sherrington was appointed the first chairman of the editorial board in 1926. In 2003 The Physiological Society moved publishing to Blackwell, now Wiley-Blackwell. The journal is published online via the Wiley Online Library.

In 2000-2005, the journal published fraudulent research authored by Igor Dhuza, a senior research associate in Vanderbilt University's Department of Biomedical Engineering.[2][3]
