Academic publisher SAGE has announced the launch of PLEURA, an open access journal publishing research on recent advances in pleural diseases. The journal will be published as the official journal of the International Society of Pleural Diseases.
PLEURA will promote a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of pleural diseases. Specialising in topics of interest to pulmonologists, critical care physicians, thoracic surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and basic scientists, the journal will inform the daily practice of clinicians working in diverse medical fields and will help establish new guidelines.
PLEURA editor Dr. Maher Tabba has dedicated his career to the development and advancement of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to pleural diseases.
The International Society of Pleural Diseases is dedicated to promote education and excellence in understanding and managing pleural diseases. Encouraging the implementation of guidelines and proper multidisciplinary approaches to pleural diseases is the foundation of its mission. The society is targeting physicians in all specialties and at all level of training. Supporting the medical research and developing international collaboration in the area of pleural diseases is one of the cornerstone goals of the society.
