Basic information
|
The Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia is the official organ of the Brazilian Thoracic Society. It continues the Jornal de Pneumologia, which was published from 1975 until 2003. The objective of the Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia is the publication of scientific papers regarding Pulmonology and related areas of specialization. In Brazil, the Journal is distributed to all members of the Society, as well as to medical school libraries and major hospitals. In addition, some foreign institutions, most located in Latin America, receive copies of the Journal. Through December of 2007, the Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia was published every two months. However, as of January of 2008, the Journal became a monthly publication and returned to be a bimonthly publication in January of 2010. The Board of Directors of the Brazilian Thoracic Society has therefore decided to cease the publication of special supplements. Supplemental topics will be addressed through the incorporation of shorter, more objective articles into regular issues of the Journal. The abbreviated title of the Journal is J. bras. pneumol.. This abbreviation should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, references and legends. |

The Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia (J Bras Pneumol, Brazilian Journal of Pulmonology) ISSN-1806-3713, published monthly, is the official organ of the Brazilian Society of Pulmonology and Phthisiology for the publication of scientific papers regarding Pulmonology and related areas. After being approved by the Editorial Board, all articles will be evaluated by qualified reviewers, and anonymity will be preserved throughout the review process. Articles that fail to present merit, have significant errors in methodology or are not in accordance with the editorial policy of the journal will be directly rejected by the Editorial Board, with no recourse. Articles may be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. As of volume 35, the costs related to the editing and English translation of articles accepted for publication will be borne, in part, by the authors. In addition, authors electing to publish figures in color will be charged for that service. For further clarification, please contact the Journal Secretary by e-mail or by telephone. The Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia upholds the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) policies regarding the registration of clinical trials, recognizing the importance of these initiatives for the registration and international, open-access dissemination of information on clinical trials. Therefore, as of 2007, the Journal only accepts clinical trials that have been given an identification number by one of the clinical trials registries meeting the criteria established by the WHO and the ICMJE. This identification number must be included at the end of the abstract. Within this context, the Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia adheres to the definition of a clinical trial as described by the WHO, which can be summarized as "any study that prospectively assigns human beings to be submitted to one or more interventions with the objective of evaluation the effects that those interventions have on health-related outcomes. Such interventions include the administration of drugs, cells and other biological products, as well as surgical procedures, radiological techniques, the use of devices, behavioral therapy, changes in treatment processes, preventive care, etc. The Journal adopts iThenticate system for plagiarism identification. There are no fees for submission and review articles. |
Authorship Criteria
|
An individual may be considered an author of an article submitted for publication only if having made a significant intellectual contribution to its execution. It is implicit that the author has participated in at least one of the following phases: 1) conception and planning of the study, as well as the interpretation of the findings; 2) writing or revision of all preliminary drafts, or both, as well as the final revision; and 3) approval of the final version. Simple data collection or cataloging does not constitute authorship. Likewise, authorship should not be conferred upon technicians performing routine tasks, referring physicians, doctors who interpret routine exams or department heads who are not directly involved in the research. The contributions made by such individuals may be recognized in the acknowledgements. The accuracy of all concepts presented in the manuscript is the exclusive responsibility of the authors. The number of authors should be limited to six, although exceptions will be made for manuscripts that are considered exceptionally complex. For manuscripts with more than six authors, a letter should be sent to the Journal describing the participation of each. |
Presentation and submition of manuscripts

All manuscripts must be submitted online from the home-page of the journal. The instructions for submission are available at: www.jornaldepneumologia.com.br/sgp. Although all manuscripts are submitted online, they must be accompanied by a Copyright Transfer Statement and Conflict of Interest Statement signed by all the authors based on the models available at: www.jornaldepneumologia.com.br. It is requested that the authors strictly follow the editorial guidelines of the journal, particularly those regarding the maximum number of words, tables and figures permitted, as well as the rules for producing the bibliography.

The journal reserves the right to make stylistic, grammatical and other alterations to the manuscript.

These terms are defined in the List of Abbreviations and Acronyms accepted without definition in the Journal. Click here (List of Abbreviations and Acronyms). All other abbreviations should be defined at their first use. For example, use "C-reactive protein (CRP)", and use "CRP" thereafter. After the definition of an abbreviation, the full term should not appear again. Other than those accepted without definition, abbreviations should not be used in titles, and their use in the abstracts of manuscripts should be avoided if possible. Whenever the authors mention any substance or uncommon piece of equipment
they must include the catalogue model/number, name of manufacturer, city
and country of origin. For example: In the case of products from the USA or Canada, the name of the state
or province should also be cited. For example: |
