About this journal

ISSN: 1178-1157


Aims and scope:

Clinical Medicine: Circulatory, Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal which considers manuscripts on all aspects of circulatory, respiratory or pulmonary medicine. The journal welcomes articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of all associated disorders in addition to related genetic, pathophysiological and epidemiological topics.

The following topics are of specific, but not exhaustive, interest:

  • Lung diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, infectious diseases, interstitial lung diseases and lung tumors
  • Genetics
  • Lung development
  • Occupational and environmental factors
  • Pulmonary circulation
  • Pulmonary pharmacology and therapeutics
  • Respiratory critical care
  • Respiratory immunology
  • Respiratory physiology
  • Sleep
  • Circulation

Editorial standards and procedures:

Submissions, excluding editorials, letters to the editor and dedications, will be peer reviewed by two reviewers.  Reviewers are required to provide fair, balanced and constructive reports.  

Under our Fairness in Peer Review Policy authors may appeal against reviewers' recommendations which are ill-founded, unobjective or unfair.  Appeals are considered by the Editor in Chief or Associate Editor.

Papers are not sent to peer reviewers following submission of a revised manuscript. Editorial decisions on re-submitted papers are based on the author's response to the initial peer review report.

Indexing:

This journal is indexed by the following services:

  • Google Scholar
  • CAS
  • DOAJ
  • SCOPUS
  • Embase

SPARC Europe Seal award winner:

This journal has been awarded a SPARC Europe Seal. The Seal is an initiative of SPARC Europe (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) which is awarded to journals applying a Creative Commons CC-BY copyright license and that make journal metadata accessible to DOAJ.  

Amongst other important services DOAJ makes metadata OAI-compliant.  This in turn enhances the visibility of papers and allows OAI-harvesters to include the details of journal articles in their services. We encourage readers to make use of this valuable resource.  The DOAJ search page is available here.

National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy compliant:

As of April 7 2008, the US NIH Public Access Policy requires that all peer reviewed articles resulting from research carried out with NIH funding be deposited in the Pubmed Central archive.

If you are an NIH employee or grantee Libertas Academica will ensure that you comply with the policy by depositing your paper at Pubmed Central on your behalf.

Abstract

Objective: This paper describes state of the art, scientific publications and ongoing research related to the methods of analysis of respiratory sounds.

Methods and material: Review of the current medical and technological literature using Pubmed and personal experience.

Results: The study includes a description of the various techniques that are being used to collect auscultation sounds, a physical description of known pathologic sounds for which automatic detection tools were developed. Modern tools are based on artificial intelligence and on technics such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms…

Conclusion: The next step will consist in finding new markers so as to increase the efficiency of decision aid algorithms and tools.
