Journal Information

Aims and Scope

Respirology Case Reports is an open-access online journal dedicated to the publication of original clinical case reports, case series, clinical images and clinical videos in all fields of respiratory medicine. The Journal encourages the international exchange between clinicians and researchers of experiences in diagnosing and treating uncommon diseases or diseases with unusual presentations. Cases with a strong educational value supported by a solid discussion will also be considered for publication.

All manuscripts are peer-reviewed through a streamlined process that aims at providing a rapid turnaround time from submission to publication.

Accepted articles are deposited in PubMed Central (now PMC) and immediately freely available to read, download and share.

Respirology Case Reports is affiliated with Respirology, the official journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR). APSR members (including all en-bloc members) benefit from a reduced publication fee for the publication of case reports, case series and correspondences.
