CHEST® Pulmonary, a new scientific journal focused on pulmonary and sleep medicine, recently released its first issue. As an online-only publication within the prestigious CHEST® journal portfolio, CHEST Pulmonary aims to provide valuable insights and advancements in the field.
Editor in Chief of CHEST Pulmonary, Dr. Matthew C. Miles, expressed his gratitude to the authors, reviewers, editorial board, and staff for their contributions to the successful launch of the inaugural issue. Known for its excellence in clinically relevant research and patient management guidance, the CHEST portfolio now expands with CHEST Pulmonary, offering researchers an exclusive open-access platform to reach a wider audience.
Issue 1 of CHEST Pulmonary features a range of articles covering various topics within pulmonary and sleep medicine, including mobile health for asthma, patient and physician assessments of clinical status in interstitial lung disease, primary ciliary dyskinesia, the impact of the Social Vulnerability Index on pulmonary embolism mortality, variation in complications after percutaneous lung biopsies, and more.
The journal focuses on clinically relevant research and patient management guidance in several areas, such as asthma, chest infections, COPD, diffuse lung disease, education and clinical practice, pulmonary vascular disease, sleep disorders, and thoracic oncology. It also aims to explore underrepresented areas in leading journals, including implementation science, medical decision-making, artificial intelligence applications, quality improvement, and education research. Additionally, CHEST Pulmonary covers early-phase clinical trials, study designs, health care and public policy reports, and articles supporting new guideline releases.
The launch of CHEST Pulmonary follows the recent debut of another addition to the American College of Chest Physicians journal portfolio, CHEST® Critical Care, on June 22.
Both CHEST Pulmonary and CHEST Critical Care welcome submissions of original research, case series, and research letters, offering researchers and clinicians opportunities to contribute to the field.
