Call for Papers: Themed Issue on Asthma

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, estimated to affect 334 million people for their entire lives.

The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (AJRCCM) is dedicating a special issue to original papers on topics in both adult and pediatric asthma. This issue will coincide with the AAAAI meeting in February 2019.

With an impact factor of 15.24, the AJRCCM is positioned to help raise awareness of the current progress and continuing needs in asthma research. Thus, we are now inviting asthma scientists to submit their original papers for consideration in this focused issue. We welcome submissions involving more basic translational research, epidemiological research, and clinical trials.

All submissions are due by October 1, 2018, should conform to the Journal’s formatting requirements, and should have a cover letter mentioning the special asthma-themed issue. Authors with questions should contact Marc Bendian.
