COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease accepts the following types of submissions:

Original Articles. The body of original articles should include the following distinct sections:

Introduction: This section should state the background to and purpose of the study.

Methods: Please identify the methods, mechanisms, and procedures in sufficient detail to allow others to reproduce the results, and describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease requires that studies involving animals/humans be approved by an institutional review board, in accordance with approved published guidelines, prior to actually performing the research and publishing the data. This approval should be explicitly stated in the acknowledgments.

Results: Please present your results concisely and accurately. For studies reporting clinical trials, include the sample size of each data point, with p-values and confidence intervals quoted for both significant and non-significant findings.

Discussion: This should include implications of the findings and their limitations, with reference to other relevant studies and the possibilities these suggest for future research.

Conclusions: Ensure that extrapolations are reasonable and that conclusions are justified by the data presented.

Review Articles. The body of a review article should be a comprehensive, scholarly evidence-based review of the literature, accompanied by critical analysis and leading to reasonable conclusions. Wherever appropriate, details of the literature search methodology should be provided, i.e. the databases searched, the search terms and inclusive dates, and any selectivity criteria imposed. Wherever possible, use primary resources, avoiding “Data on File”, “Poster” or other unpublished references.

Letters to the Editor. Letters to the Editor will be considered for publication subject to editor approval and provided that the content relates to articles published in the journal. Letters should be received less than six months after publication of the original work in question. Pending editor approval, letters will be submitted to the author of the original paper in order that a reply can be published simultaneously.

Commentaries. All commentary topics must be agreed with the editor prior to submission. Commentaries should be knowledge-based or consensus-type articles (e.g. working group statement) expressing objective opinions, experiences or perspectives on an important area related to COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Book Reviews. COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease considers a limited number of book reviews. Book review ideas must be checked with the editor prior to submission.

Statistical Notes. All articles reporting on clinical trials should conform to the CONSORT statement. These studies should contain details of the study population and setting; subject selection (inclusion/exclusion criteria); methods of randomization and blinding; and efficacy and safety measures. The study design and statistical methodology should be described, along with justification for the choice of analysis and sample size given. Statistical methods used to compare groups for primary outcomes should specify what type of confidence interval was employed, and any additional methods for analyses (subgroup, adjusted) should be reflected as well. The sample size of each data point should be shown, with p-values and confidence intervals quoted for both significant and non-significant findings.

Genomics Data. Ensure that all data collected and analyzed in conducted experiments adhere to the Minimal Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME) guidelines. The MIAME checklist is available. We ask that authors submit all primary microarray data to an appropriate public repositories (ArrayExpress, GEO, or CIBEX) in a format that complies with the MIAME guidelines by the time of publication. Nucleic acid or protein sequences should be deposited in EMBL or Genbank databases and accession numbers submitted prior to publication of manuscripts.

Notes on Style. COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease conforms to the AMA style guidelines, using the NLM style for references.

For general abbreviations and nomenclature, authors should consult the latest edition of the AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors. Authors should write in clear, concise English. Language and grammar should be consistent with Fowler's English Usage; spelling and meaning of words should conform to Webster's Dictionary.

If English is not your native language, please ensure the manuscript has been reviewed by a native speaker.

Please note: extensive rewriting of the text will not be undertaken by the editorial staff.

Please note the following general style guidelines:

Do not use the term “significant” unless p-values are provided. Show p-values as <0.001 or to 2 or 3 decimal places.

When a trademarked pharmaceutical or other product is named in the research, it must be accompanied by the generic name as well. According to journal style, after first mention, only the generic name should be used. Do not use proprietary names in article titles or in the abstract.

Latin terminology, including microbiological and species nomenclature, should be italicized.

Use standard convention for human and animal genes and proteins: italics for genes and regular font for proteins, and upper case for human products and lower case for animal products.

Upper case characters in headings and references should be used sparingly, e.g. only the first word of paper titles, subheadings and any proper nouns begin upper case; similarly for the titles of papers from journals in the references and elsewhere.

All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. “The work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s …” and subsequently, “The APU studies of achievement …”, in a reference “(Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a)”. • Please do not label people according to their disability or disease. Instead, use person-first language (patients diagnosed with COPD, children with asthma, etc).

Please do not use commas in numbers with more than three digits. In 4- digit numbers, the digits are set closed up. For numbers of 10 000 or greater, a half-space or thin space is used to separate every digit from the right-most integer or decimal point. For decimals, use the form 0.05 (not .05, × 05 or 0× 05).
