About the journal
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology
|
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning the field of respiration in its broadest sense. Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high quality papers in traditional areas, such as mechanics of breathing; gas exchange in lungs, gills, skin, and tissues; acid-base balance; respiration at rest and exercise; respiration in normal and unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen; embryonic and adult respiration; comparative respiratory physiology. Papers on clinical aspects, articles on original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology.
Audience
Researchers in respiratory-, pulmonary- and circulatory physiology, and neurobiology.

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning the field of respiration in its broadest sense. Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high quality papers in traditional areas, such as mechanics of breathing; gas exchange in lungs, gills, skin, and tissues; acid-base balance; respiration at rest and exercise; respiration in normal and unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen; embryonic and adult respiration; comparative respiratory physiology. Papers on clinical aspects, articles on original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology.
Ordinary research articles submitted to Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology should deal with original research which has not been published previously, nor is being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission of a manuscript for publication implies the transfer of copyright from the author(s) to the publishers.
Types of Publication. Aside from original research articles, Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology features three other types of communication:
1. Short Communication provides a rapid publication opportunity (usually 6 - 8 weeks from receipt of the accepted manuscript by the publisher) for short, concise papers dealing with original material within the scope of the journal. Short Communications should not exceed 4 printed pages (about 8 manuscript pages), including up to 2 Figures, 1 Table and up to 10 References. Style of the manuscripts must otherwise conform with that of ordinary research articles (see below) and must, in particular, have an Abstract. The fax number of the corresponding author must be given on the title page.
2. State-of-the-art reviews, prepared on invitation, will regularly appear under the title of Frontiers Review.
3. Furthermore, Special Issues are regularly published with the help of invited Guest Editors. These issues combine reviews on topics of particular scientific interest and can arise from scientific conferences. Suggestions for topics for Special Issues as well as for Guest Editors are invited by the Editor (see address below).
Authorship. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to justify authorship. This participation must include: (a) critically important intellectual contribution to the conception, design, and/or analysis and interpretation; (b) drafting the manuscript or critically reading it; and (c) thorough reading and final approval of the version to be published. Participation solely in the collection of data or provision of funds, space or equipment does not justify authorship. All authors take public responsibility for the paper as a whole, i.e., conception and design, data, analysis, and interpretation.
The acknowledgement section (see below) should list (a) other contributors for whom authorship is not justified, e.g. technical help; (b) financial and material support.
Previously published material. Results submitted for publication must not repeat findings that have already been, or are intended to be, published by the authors elsewhere. They should refer to their previous findings in the same way as they would refer to results from a different group. This applies not only to figures or tables, or parts of them, but has to be understood in a wider sense.
Covering Letter. Manuscripts submitted must be accompanied by a covering letter. It must state (a) that the work is original in that it has not been published before or submitted for publication elsewhere, and will not be submitted elsewhere before a decision has been taken as to its acceptability by Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology; (b) that each author meets the criteria for authorship above and assumes the corresponding responsibility. Authors are invited to suggest up to six names (with full addresses, including phone, fax and e-mail) of appropriate reviewers for their manuscripts. The editor will consider these nominations even though he is not constrained to follow them.
All manuscripts should be submitted to:
Dr. Peter Scheid, Editor, Institut fur Physiologie,
Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, D-44780 Bochum, Germany
Phone: +49-(0)234-32-29100, Fax: +49-(0)234-32-14191, E-mail: editor@rpnb.org
Style of the Manuscript
General Instructions. The text must be clear and concise, conforming to accepted standards of English style and usage. Non-native English speakers may be advised to seek professional help with the language. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double spaced throughout with wide margins. Four complete copies, each containing tables and copies of the figures, plus one set of high-quality prints of the figures must be submitted. Pages should be numbered in the following order.
- Title page: full title, not to exceed 100 characters and spaces; list of authors, marking corresponding author; laboratory of origin with full postal address (if more than one, indicate each author's affiliation by superscript a,b...); phone, fax numbers and e-mail of corresponding author; present address of authors and e-mail address, if applicable.
- Abstract page: Abstract not exceeding 160 words stating what was done, what was found, and what was concluded; references in the Abstract should give authors, year, journal, volume, and inclusive pages, e.g. Powell et al., Respir. Physiol. 112: 123-134, 1998; keywords, which may be used by the Editor in indexing.
- Text pages. The Introduction should introduce the problem and should present a brief yet comprehensive account of its history, quoting the relevant and important papers in the area. The Methods should be complete, but should resort to earlier publications if possible. The Results should clearly document the main findings, which should be critically discussed in the Discussion. Repetition among these sections should be avoided. These sections should numbered as 1. Introduction etc.
- Acknowledgements.
- References, starting on a new page and typed double spaced (for style, see below).
- Figure legends and Tables (on separate page; for style, see below).
- Copies of figures.
Nomenclature. Standard nomenclature should be used throughout; unfamiliar or new terms, arbitrary abbreviations and trade names should be defined when first used, independently in the Abstract and in the main text. Unnecessary abbreviations and symbols are to be avoided. The most frequently used symbols and abbreviations are listed below.
Symbols and Units. The meaning of the symbols should be clearly understood from the context, and all symbols that are not commonly used should be defined on their first appearance in the Abstract and in the main text. The symbols should conform with the glossary of terms and symbols in respiratory physiology proposed by the International Union of Physiological Sciences. Examples of main symbols and their modifiers can be found in this PDF file: Symbols and Units
References.
1. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references typed on separate pages, following the text of the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. References to manuscripts that have not yet been accepted should not be listed in the reference list; refer to them in the text as "unpublished", listing names and initials of all authors.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initial) and year of publication, followed - if necessary - by a short reference to appropriate pages. Examples: "Since Peterson (1988) has shown that..." "This is in agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1989, pp. 12-16)".
3. If reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used followed by "et al.". This indication, however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list names of first author and all co-authors should be mentioned.
4. References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically on authors' names, and chronologically per author. Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1998a, 1998b, etc. The following are examples for the style of referencing:
Kindig, C.A., Sexton, W.L., Fedde, M.R., Poole, D.C., 1998. Skeletal muscle microcirculatory structure and hemodynamics in diabetes. Respir. Physiol. 111, 163-175.
Dejours, P., 1988. Respiration in Water and Air. Adaptations - regulation - evolution. Elsevier, Amsterdam, New York, Oxford.
Fencl, V., (1986). Acid-base balance in cerebral fluids. In: Cherniack, N.S., Widdicombe, J.G. (Eds.). Handbook of Physiology, Section 3: The Respiratory System, Vol. II: Control of Breathing, part 1. American Physiological Society, Washington, DC, pp. 115-140.
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology should be referred to as Respir. Physiol. Neurobiol.
Figures, Tables and Equations. Figures and tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals. In the text they should be referred to as Fig. 1, Table 2, Eq. 3 etc. (not as fig. 1, figure 1; tab. 2, table 2). Prints of the figures should be well contrasted and unmounted. Each print of a figure must contain all component panels, arranged as they should appear in final print; do not submit separate prints to each panel. The lettering must be large enough to be legible after reduction to the final size; the maximal print width is 7.5 cm for narrow figures (one column width) and 16 cm for wide figures (two columns). A calibration bar should be given on all micrographs. Each print must have the figure number and orientation indicated on the back. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet. They should be numbered separately in Arabic numerals. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the text.
Electronic manuscripts. For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hard copies are sufficient. For the processing of accepted papers, electronic versions are required. Information on electronic disk submission will be sent by the editor.
Proofs. One set of proofs will be sent to the corresponding author as given on the title page of the manuscript. Only typesetter's errors may be corrected; no changes in, or additions to, the edited manuscript will be allowed.
Offprints. Offprints can be ordered on an offprint order form, which is sent upon acceptance of the paper. The corresponding author will receive 25 free offprints.
