Aims & Scope

Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health and Behavior is an international, interdisciplinary journal that addresses the symptom of fatigue in medical illnesses, behavioral disorders, and specific environmental conditions. These broadly conceived domains, all housed in one journal, are intended to advance research on causation, pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment. The list of topics covered in Fatigue will include fatigue in diseases including cancer, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, pain conditions, mood disorders, and circulatory diseases. The journal will also publish papers on chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and related illnesses. In addition, submissions on specific issues involving fatigue in sleep, aging, exercise and sport, and occupations are welcomed. More generally, the journal will publish on the biology, physiology and psychosocial aspects of fatigue. The Editor also welcomes new topics such as clinical fatigue education in medical schools and public health policy with respect to fatigue.
