Pulmonary & Respiratory Medicine | Pulmonary / Respiratory Nursing | Respiratory Care
Respiratory Care is the official science journal of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC). It deals with the subject area of the same name, and thus publishes articles pertaining to disorders affecting the cardiorespiratory system, including their pathogenesis, pathophysiology, manifestations, diagnostic assessment, monitoring, prevention, and management. Because the practice of respiratory care prominently involves equipment and devices, the development, evaluation, and use of these things feature prominently in what the Journal publishes. However, as indicated by the word “care” in its name, the Journal also emphasizes the patient, and on improving all aspects of the care of individuals affected by respiratory disease.
The Journal sponsors the OPEN FORUM, held each year as part of the AARC Congress. Abstracts of research studies accepted for presentation are published as an online supplement to the October issue of the Journal. At the OPEN FORUM, these abstracts are presented as posters, grouped by subject, and discussed in a symposia setting. Authors of abstracts presented at the OPEN FORUM are encouraged to submit full-length manuscripts to Respiratory Care.
For more than 40 years, the Journal has convened annual state-of-the-art Journal Conferences. These Journal Conferences bring together experts in a given topic, and the resulting papers are published in a special issue of Respiratory Care.
The Editor relies on evaluations by members of the Editorial Board and outside experts in deciding whether submitted manuscripts should be accepted for publication, revised for further peer review, or rejected. To become a reviewer, create an account in Manuscript Central and select the topics in which you are comfortable reviewing. Respiratory Care has partnered with Publons (now Web of Science) to allow reviewers to conveniently track reviews.
Only manuscripts fitting the categories of articles the Journal publishes are considered. These categories are:
• Original Research
• Reviews (Narrative and Systematic)
• Short Reports
• Correspondence
• Editorials (by invitation only)
Audience: Respiratory therapists, pulmonologists, intensivists, physiologists, nurses, physical therapists, and others practicing respiratory care.
