Feature Papers in Journal of Respiration

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection for JoR has the goal to gather high-quality manuscripts in the form of review articles, original contributions, unusual case studies, and molecular or artificial intelligence analyses in the diverse areas that our journal covers: pulmonology, diagnostic imaging, pathology, surgery, oncology, and molecular analysis in either pediatric or adult populations. As you can see, the main goal of this Topical Collection is to illustrate the diversity and the wide spectrum of possibilities that our journal can offer.

Your being part of the Editorial Board of JoR plays an essential role in not only identifying possible guest editors to guide in the selections of topics for inclusion in JoR but also in taking the role of guest editor and contributing to the progress and advancement of the journal.  

Suggestions as Topical Collections include but are not limited to:

• Diagnostic Imaging—the different techniques currently available for the diagnosis of the numerous conditions in the thorax;
• Pulmonology—nontumoral conditions of the thorax: pleural and lung:
  • A Topical Collection of pleural diseases—diagnosis and treatment;
  • Topical Collection of lung non-neoplastic conditions—diagnosis and treatment;
  • Lung neoplasia—diagnosis and treatment;
  • Pediatric pulmonary conditions;
  • Thoracic diseases—a focus on undeveloped countries: diagnostic and treatment options.
• Surgery—A Topical Collection of the different approaches for the treatment of neoplastic conditions: thoracotomy, robotic procedures, other minimally invasive procedures.

If anyone of the Board Members would like to spearhead any of those suggestions or have a special recommendation for a guest editor for any of them, please get in touch. We will also welcome the opportunity to work with you if you prefer to develop your own Topical Collection.

Prof. Dr. Cesar A. Moran
Collection Editor
