Scientific neurophysiology journal is a periodical publication intended to further progress of science, usually by reporting novel research. There are thousands of scientific neurophysiology journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past. Most neurophysiology journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest neurophysiology journals publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields. Scientific neurophysiology journals contain articles that are peer reviewed, to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity. The publication of the results of research is an essential part of the scientific method. If they are describing experiments or calculations, they must supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results.
