Open Respiratory Archives is one of the official publications from the Spanish Respiratory Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) and a companion title to the highly-regarded Archivos de Bronconeumología. Open Respiratory Archives is a new online only, open access, peer reviewed journal that publishes original studies whose content is based upon results dealing with several aspects of respiratory diseases such as epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinics, surgery and basic investigation. Other types of articles such as reviews, editorials, clinical images, scientific letters, and letters to the Editor are also published in the Journal. In addition, the Journal may also publish society documents such as guidelines, position documents, statements, and consensus reports as long as redundancy with previous publications in other society journals does not exist or the degree of similarity is low. Authors of this type of society documents must prove scientific accreditation in the target areas. All the manuscripts received in the Journal are sent to peer-review and are handled by the Editor or an Associate Editor from the team. The official languages of the Journal are English and Spanish. Therefore, manuscripts can be submitted in either language. The areas covered in the Journal are of general interest to the average clinician dealing with respiratory patients, especially pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons. Other types of professionals may also find the contents published in the Journal of interest for their clinical practice: internists, radiologists, immunologists, physiotherapists, rehabilitators, primary care doctors, nurses, and other professionals.
