Peer reviewed open access journal
Scope Alignment
Sleep physiology, circadian biology, insomnia, sleep apnea, parasomnias, hypersomnias, behavioral sleep medicine, and sleep health across the lifespan. We prioritize clinically relevant findings.
Publishing Model
Open access, single blind peer review, and rapid publication after acceptance and production checks. Metadata validation and DOI registration are included.
JSDR publishes sleep research that advances understanding of sleep mechanisms, circadian regulation, and sleep disorder management. Submissions should present validated methods, transparent scoring, and clear clinical or population health relevance.
Sleep Physiology
Neurobiology, homeostatic sleep regulation, and sleep architecture.
Circadian Rhythms
Chronobiology, light exposure, and timing interventions.
Sleep Disorders
Insomnia, sleep apnea, hypersomnias, parasomnias, and movement disorders.
Behavioral Sleep Medicine
CBT-I, sleep hygiene, and behavioral interventions.
Sleep Technology
Wearables, digital monitoring, and sleep analytics.
Population Sleep Health
Epidemiology, occupational sleep, and public health outcomes.
- Original research with validated sleep outcomes
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Methods and tools papers with benchmarking
- Clinical and translational studies
- Short communications and data briefs
- Studies without clear sleep relevance or validated sleep measures
- Clinical case reports without mechanistic or methodological insight
- Manuscripts lacking ethics approvals for human or animal studies
JSDR is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in sleep science and sleep disorder research. We emphasize reproducible methods, clear clinical reporting, and ethical compliance across all article types.
The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].
We encourage continuous improvement in reporting practices and share updates that help the community maintain high standards in sleep research and clinical sleep medicine.
Confirm Scope Fit
Share sleep research that advances mechanistic insight and clinical impact.
