Aims and scope
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.
Circadian Rhythms aims to include 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 to the journal's mission.
The journal has been publishing research in the field since 2003. The average submission to acceptance time was 77 days in 2021 and the journal website had 37,600 webpage views in the same year. JCR is currently indexed in PubMed, Web of Science/Thomson and Scopus.
