Instructions to Authors
1. Editorial policies and procedures
The Clinical Respiratory Journal (CRJ) provides a rapid-response forum for publishing clinical research in all areas of respiratory medicine from clinical lung disease to basic research relevant to the clinic.
CRJ will not consider manuscripts that have been published previously or that are under consideration for publication elsewhere, and the submission should include a cover letter clearly stating that neither is the case.
Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. At the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief, the submitted manuscript may be rejected immediately, without full review, for instance if it falls outside of the aims and scope of the journal or if it does not comply with international ethical standards (see below).
Authorship
All persons listed as authors must have contributed substantially to the design, performance, analysis, or reporting of the work and are required to indicate their specific contribution. The specific requirements for authorship have been defined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE; http://www.icmje.org). Examples of authors鈥?contributions are: 'designed research/study', 'performed research/study', 'contributed important reagents', 'collected data', 'analyzed data', 'wrote paper' etc. This information must be included in the title page of the manuscript and will be published if the paper is accepted for publication. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining permission from all co-authors for the submission of any version of the manuscript and for any changes in authorship.
Acknowledgements
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship must be listed in an acknowledgements section at the end of the manuscript. Financial and material support must also be acknowledged. Authors are required to describe the role of the study sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the manuscript for publication. If the supporting source had no such involvement, the authors should state so.
Conflicts of Interest
When submitting a manuscript, whether a review article, an original article, a case report, a letter or an editorial, authors are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. To prevent ambiguity, all authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist. This information will be included on the title page of the published article. Authors must include the statement in the manuscript on a conflicts of interest notification page following the title page, providing additional detail, if necessary, in a cover letter accompanying the manuscript.
Ethics
Manuscripts must contain a statement, immediately prior to the Introduction section at the beginning of the text, to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 2000 Declaration of Helsinki (http://www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm). It should also be clearly stated in the statement that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Epidemiological studies, quality assurance studies and similar retrospective data collections may fall outside these requirements. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under the study should be omitted. CRJ does not publish articles which report experiments on animals.
Clinical Trials
CRJ will consider publishing only trials that have been registered in a public trials registry. The name of the registry and the registration number should be stated at the end of the abstract of the manuscript. Trials must be registered at the time or before patients are enrolled. We define clinical trials according to ICMJE, as any research project that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention or comparison groups to study the cause and effect relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome. Studies designed for other purposes, such as to study pharmacokinetics or major toxicity (e.g., phase I trials), would be exempt.
Registration must take place at a registry that meets the following minimum criteria:
- Accessible to the public at no charge.
- Searchable by standard electronic (internet-based) methods.
- Open to all prospective registrants free of charge or at a minimal fee.
- Validates registered information.
- Identifies trials with a unique number.
- Includes information on: the investigator(s), research question or hypothesis, methodology, intervention and comparisons, eligibility criteria, primary and secondary outcomes measured, date of registration, anticipated or actual start date, anticipated or actual date of last follow-up, target number of subjects, status (anticipated, ongoing or closed), and funding source(s)
Registries that currently meet these criteria include:
- The registry sponsored by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (www.clinicaltrials.gov).
- The International Standard Randomised Controlled Trail Number Registry (www.controlled-trials.com).
- The Cochrane Renal Group registry (www.cochrane-renal.org/trialsubmissionform.php).
- The National (U.K.) Research Register (www.update-software.com/national).
The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above mentioned requirements.
Copyright
All submitted manuscripts must be accompanied by a completed Copyright Transfer Agreement faxed and mailed to the Editorial Office:

After acceptance, you will be contacted to provide print-quality figures if you have not already done so. Any colour illustrations must be paid for by the author. Colour artwork in accepted manuscripts must be accompanied by a colour work agreement form. Before your article can be published the form must be completed, and faxed to the Editorial Office at +45 35312179.
Case Report
Case reports should follow the same pattern as original articles (see above), but the total length should not exceed 1500 words including the abstract but excluding the references, tables and figures. Only cases of exceptional interest and novelty will be considered together with an overview and discussion of relevant literature.
Letter to the Editor
Letters to the Editor are welcomed but should be limited to 700 words and no more than 10 references. No abstract and keywords required.
Editorial
If asked for an editorial, it would most often be in relation to one or more articles of specific interest. Editorials should be limited to 700 words and no more than 3 references.

References in articles
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting. EndNote reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp. Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp.
4. Accepted articles
Electronic artwork
When submitting artwork electronically, please read the information on the Blackwell Publishing website at: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/digill.asp
Preparation of electronic artwork
Although low-quality images are adequate for review purposes, print publication requires high-quality images to prevent the final product being blurred or fuzzy. For further details, see the Publisher鈥檚 guidelines at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp.
- Submit EPS (line art) or TIFF (half-tone/photographs) files only.
- For scanned images, the scanning resolution (at final image size, see above for a guide to sizes) should be as follows to ensure adequate reproduction: line art, >800 dpi; half-tones (including gel photographs), >300 dpi. Figures containing both half-tone and line images, >600 dpi.
- EPS files should be saved with fonts embedded (and with a TIFF preview if possible).
- Black and white images should be supplied as 鈥榞rayscale鈥?
- Colour images should be supplied as CMYK.
- Multipart figures should be supplied in the final layout in one file.
We therefore recommend that authors generate their artwork in software packages incorporating a 鈥楽AVE AS鈥?or 鈥楨XPORT鈥?TIFF/EPS function, e.g. Adobe Illustrator 7.0 and above, Deneba Canvas 6.0 and above (EPS), CorelDraw 7.0 and above (EPS), Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and above (TIFF). You can EXPORT low resolution figs (GIF/JPG) from these packages for review purposes. EPS files can be produced from other applications (eg PowerPoint_[see http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp]. BUT results
can be unpredictable (e.g. fonts and shading not converted correctly, lines missing, dotted lines becoming solid). For full instructions see http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp
All scanned images embedded into other applications should be scanned at the recommended resolutions (see above).
Proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author and should be returned within 3 days of receipt to the Production Editor. Significant textual alterations are unacceptable at proof stage without the written approval of the Editor-in-Chief, and they are likely to result in delay of publication.
The corresponding author will receive an e-mail alert containing a link to a secure web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. In your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your e-mail to retrieve the proofs.
The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from the site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order or any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof.
Please note that you have final responsibility for what is stated in the proofs of your manuscript.
Offprints
Free access to the final PDF offprint will be available via author services only. Please therefore sign up for author services if you would like to access your article PDF offprint and enjoy the many other benefits the service offers.
Early View
The Clinical Respiratory Journal is covered by Blackwell Publishing's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles mean that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continued to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at http://www.doi.org/faq.html
Author Services
Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Author material archive policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the Editorial Office or Production Editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.
