For the past four years, a research session at the annual European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) meeting has been co-hosted by The Lancet Respiratory Medicine and the Journal of Cystic Fibrosis. At the 2020 ECFS meeting in June in Lyon, France, we are pleased to announce that the European Respiratory Journal will join this session for the first time.
The aim of this session, co-hosted by three leading journals in the respiratory medicine and cystic fibrosis fields, is to provide an educational forum to discuss how the journals operate, and to disseminate the latest cutting edge findings in this very active field. The format for the session will be presentations from the authors of selected research papers published across the three journals, with additional discussion from reviewers and editors to provide additional insight into both the peer review and editorial processes, and editorial decisions made.
Therefore, the European Respiratory Journal wishes to attract new submission from the field of cystic fibrosis in preparation for this session. Clinical trials are particularly welcomed, and also papers that will further strengthen the ERJ's reputation for publishing high quality basic science and translational studies with a high potential clinical relevance. We can offer fast track peer review and publication processes when needed; interested authors with suitable manuscripts should submit their work online at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/erj before the end of February 2020, mentioning this call for papers in the cover letter to their submission.
