PULMONARY PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS
Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics is concerned with lung pharmacology from molecular to clinical aspects. The subject matter encompasses the major diseases of the lung (including asthma, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary circulation, ARDS, carcinoma, bronchitis, emphysema) and drug delivery. Laboratory and clinical research on man and animals will be considered including studies related to chemotherapy of cancer, tuberculosis and infection. In addition to original research papers the journal will include review articles and book reviews.

Immediate rejection criteria are:
a) Testing of extracts or plant parts that are not characterized
b) Case Reports or n=1 studies
2. Too preliminary: A paper must be based on a thorough and extensive study, using proper controls
Immediate rejection criteria are:
a) In vitro studies with a single dose, or very high concentration b) Single dose studies with very few animals, no dose-response studies c) No proper controls. d) Repetition or confirmation of an earlier work
3. Unethical: The study must have been carried under appropriate ethical approval for the study (either animal or human).
4. Inappropriate experiments or lacking essential detail
Immediate rejection criteria are: a) Wrong species or lacking details on the exact number of animals/subjects used
b) No details of structure if a new drug is used for the first time
5. Lack of novelty: The study must represent a novel approach to the field.
Immediate rejection criteria are:
a) Repetition of well known data
b) No advance of knowledge in the field
Types of paper
1. Regular papers. Original full-length research papers which have not been published previously, except in a preliminary form, may be submitted as regular papers.
2. Review articles. Review articles are welcome but should be topical and not just an overview of the literature. Before submission please contact one of the Chief Editors.
3. Letters to the Editor. Letters are published from time to time on matters of topical interest. These should be submitted via the online submission system by selecting the article type "Letter to the Editor".
