Journal of Exercise & Organ Cross Talk

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Exercise & Organ Cross Talk (JEOCT) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing scientific understanding in molecular and cellular exercise physiology. The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, reviews, and short communications that investigate the molecular, biochemical, and cellular mechanisms underlying human physiological adaptations to acute and chronic exercise. A core mission of JEOCT is to highlight the preventive and therapeutic role of exercise in chronic and degenerative diseases, its contribution to long-term health maintenance, and its relevance to personalized and precision medicine through translational research. The journal places particular emphasis on studies examining the exercise-induced secretome, including the release of peptides, myokines, and organ-derived proteins—especially from skeletal muscle—and their roles in metabolic regulation, homeostasis, and inter-organ communication. JEOCT follows a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure unbiased and scientifically robust evaluation of all submissions. All manuscripts undergo plagiarism detection using iThenticate prior to peer review. Manuscripts containing plagiarized or unethical content will be rejected immediately, and—in serious cases—the authors’ affiliated institutions may be notified in accordance with COPE guidelines. As part of its commitment to open science and global accessibility, JEOCT provides free and immediate access to all published articles. The journal is fully sponsored by Vesnu Publications, which enables us to waive all article processing and publication charges (APCs) for authors. By integrating theoretical, experimental, and translational perspectives, JEOCT aims to serve as a leading international platform for research on organ crosstalk in health and disease in response to exercise. JEOCT follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and complies with the highest ethical standards in accordance with ethical laws.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
