A-III AIMS AND SCOPE
Turkish Thoracic Journal (Turk Thorac J) is the double-blind, peer-reviewed, open access, international publication or- gan of Turkish Thoracic Society. The journal is a bimonthly publication, published on January, March, May, July, Septem- ber, and November and its publication language is English. Turkish Thoracic Journal started its publication life following the merger of two journals which were published under the titles “Turkish Respiratory Journal” and “Toraks Journal” until 2007. Archives of both journals were passed on to the Turkish Thoracic Journal. The aim of the journal is to convey scientific developments and to create a dynamic discussion platform about pul- monary diseases. With this intent, the journal accepts articles from all related scientific areas that address adult and pediatric pulmonary diseases, as well as thoracic imaging, environmental and occupational disorders, intensive care, sleep disorders and thoracic surgery. Clinical and research articles, reviews, statements of agreement or disagreement on controversial issues, national and international consensus reports, abstracts and comments of important interna- tional articles, interesting case reports, writings related to clinical and practical applications, letters to the editor, and editorials are accepted. The editorial and publication processes of the journal are shaped in accordance with the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), Council of Science Editors (CSE), Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), European Association of Science Editors (EASE), and National Informa- tion Standards Organization (NISO). The journal is in conformity with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (doaj.org/bestpractice). Turkish Thoracic Journal is indexed in PubMed Central, Web of Science - Emerging Sources Citation Index, Scopus, EMBASE, EBSCO, CINAHL, Gale/Cengage Learning, ProQuest, and TUBITAK ULAKBIM TR Index. Processing and publication are free of charge with the journal. No fees are requested from the authors at any point throughout the evaluation and publication process. All manuscripts must be submitted via the online submission sys- tem, which is available at www.turkthoracj.org. The journal guidelines, technical information, and the required forms are available on the journal’s web page. All expenses of the journal are covered by the Turkish Thoracic Society. Potential advertisers should contact the Editorial Office. Advertisement images are published only upon the Editor-in-Chief’s approval. Statements or opinions expressed in the manuscripts published in the journal reflect the views of the author(s) and not the opinions of the Turkish Thoracic Society, editors, editorial board, and/or publisher; the editors, editorial board, and publisher disclaim any responsibility or liability for such materials. All published content is available online, free of charge at www.turkthoracj.org. Turkish Thoracic Society holds the inter- national copyright of all the content published in the journal.
