Journal Guide

Pulmonary Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of pulmonary medicine.

Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics (formerly Pulmonary Pharmacology) is concerned with lung pharmacology from molecular to clinical aspects. The subject matter encompasses the major diseases of the lung including asthma, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary circulation, ARDS, carcinoma, bronchitis, emphysema and drug delivery. Laboratory and clinical research on man and animals will be considered including studies related to chemotherapy of cancer, tuberculosis and infection. In addition to original research papers the journal will include review articles and book reviews.Research Areas Include:• All major diseases of the lung• Physiology• Pathology• Drug delivery• Metabolism• Pulmonary ToxicologyBefore submitting, please note the "Rules of 5" defining immediate rejection criteria of PPT:1. Out of scope: The paper should report on the use of pharmacological or toxicological studies (positive or negative) that are directly related to Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics.Immediate rejection criteria are: a) Testing of extracts or plant parts that are not characterized b) Case Reports or n=1 studies2. Too preliminary: A paper must be based on a thorough and extensive study, using proper controlsImmediate rejection criteria are: a) In vitro studies with a single dose, or very high concentration b) Single dose studies with very few animals, no dose-response studies c) No proper controls. d) Repetition or confirmation of an earlier work3. Unethical: The study must have been carried under appropriate ethical approval for the study (either animal or human).4. Inappropriate experiments or lacking essential detailImmediate rejection criteria are: a) Wrong species or lacking details on the exact number of animals/subjects used b) No details of structure if a new drug is used for the first time5. Lack of novelty: The study must represent a novel approach to the field.Immediate rejection criteria are: a) Repetition of well known data b) No advance of knowledge in the fieldNote that only manuscripts written in good English will be considered by the Editors (British usage is preferred).

Respiration brings together the results of both clinical and experimental investigations on all aspects of the respiratory system in health and disease. Clinical improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of chest and lung diseases are covered, as are the latest findings in physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, and pharmacology. The journal includes classic features such as editorials that accompany original articles in clinical and basic science research, reviews, and letters to the editor. Further sections are: “The Eye Catcher”, “What’s Your Diagnosis?”, “New Insights from Clinical Practice”, and “Guidelines”.

Aims & ScopeRespiratory Investigation formerly known as Nihon Kokyuki Gakkaizasshi (The Journal of the Japanese Respiratory Society) is the official journal in English of the Japanese Respiratory Society It reports significant original manuscripts on clinical investigations of respiratory diseases and medicines, along with articles concerning basic lung cellular and molecular biology and respiratory mechanics. In particular, to better understand the regional characteristics of respiratory disorders, investigations based on current knowledge of genomic specificity of the East Asian ethnics are welcome. The journal presents current accomplishments in this field as Original Articles, Case Reports, Reviews and Guidelines, Editorials, and Letters to the Editor. The journal accepts contributions from nonmembers of the Society. Please prepare manuscripts in conformance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org/urm_main.html).

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports is an open access, respiratory journal dedicated to publishing case reports. Case reports must be authentic, understandable, educational and clinically interesting to an international audience of respiratory physicians, trainees and researchers in all respiratory subspecialties, as well as clinicians in related fields. All case reports submitted are peer reviewed and if accepted for publication, authors are notified of this decision and requested to pay an Article Processing Fee of £250 (US$400, Euro 308, JP Yen 30,796) per article (exclusive of VAT which will be charged by Elsevier at the relevant local rate). Following payment of this fee, the article is made universally available to all on www.sciencedirect.com.Online Submission of Manuscripts http://ees.elsevier.com/rmcrBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning physiology and pathophysiology of respiration in its broadest sense. Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high-quality papers in traditional areas, such as mechanics of breathing; gas exchange and acid-base balance; respiration at rest and exercise; respiration in unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen; embryonic and adult respiration; comparative respiratory physiology. Papers on clinical aspects, articles on original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
