About the Journal

RESPIRATORY CARE is the official science journal of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC). It is published monthly, and is listed in PubMed and included in the Web of Science. Its contents are searchable via PubMed, Google Scholar, and other search engines.

 

In continuous publication since 1956, RESPIRATORY CARE is edited by Richard D Branson MSc RRT FAARC of the University of Cincinnati. The Editor is assisted by Managing Editor Dean R Hess PhD RRT FAARC, Assistant Editor Sara Moore, Section Editors Jie Li PhD RRT RRT-NPS RRT-ACCS FAARC, Andrew G Miller MSc RRT RRT-ACCS RRT-NPS FAARC, Denise Willis MSc RRT RRT-NPS AE-C FAARC, and Technical Editor Gail S Drescher MA RRT. The Editorial Board includes respiratory therapists, physicians, physiologists, and others involved in the field. 

 

RESPIRATORY CARE deals with the subject area of the same name, and thus publishes articles pertaining to disorders affecting the cardiorespiratory system, including their pathogenesis, pathophysiology, manifestations, diagnostic assessment, monitoring, prevention, and management. Because the practice of respiratory care prominently involves equipment and devices, the development, evaluation, and use of these things feature prominently in what the Journal publishes. However, as indicated by the word “care” in its name, the Journal also emphasizes the patient, and on improving all aspects of the care of individuals affected by respiratory disease.

 

The Journal sponsors the OPEN FORUM, held each year as part of the AARC Congress. Abstracts of research studies accepted for presentation are published as an online supplement to the October issue of the Journal. At the OPEN FORUM, these abstracts are presented as posters, grouped by subject, and discussed in a symposia setting. Authors of abstracts presented at the OPEN FORUM are encouraged to submit full-length manuscripts to RESPIRATORY CARE.

 

For more than 30 years, the Journal has convened annual state-of-the-art Journal Conferences. These Journal Conferences bring together experts in a given topic, and the resulting papers are published in a special issue of RESPIRATORY CARE. 

 

The Editor relies on evaluations by members of the Editorial Board and outside experts in deciding whether submitted manuscripts should be accepted for publication, revised for further peer review, or rejected. To become a reviewer, create an account in Manuscript Central and select the topics in which you are comfortable reviewing. RESPIRATORY CARE has partnered with Publons to allow reviewers to conveniently track reviews.

 

Only manuscripts fitting the categories of articles the Journal published are considered. These categories are:

  • Original Research 
  • Reviews (Narrative and Systematic)
  • Short Reports
  • Correspondence
  • Editorial (by invitation only)
