Aims and Scope of Journal of Pineal Research
Journal of Pineal Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the pineal gland and its hormonal products, chiefly melatonin, in all vertebrate species. Experimental studies on circadian rhythms and sleep are also published by the journal. It is published by John Wiley & Sons and the editor-in-chief is Gianluca Tosini. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2018 impact factor of 15.2, ranking it 3rd out of 81 journals in the category "Physiology", 5th out of 145 journals in the category "Endocrinology & Metabolism", and 6th out of 267 journals in the category "Neurosciences".
