IJTLD Chronic Respiratory Disease (IJTLD CRD) is a new open access journal (fully compliant with Plan S).
Featuring the latest research on chronic lung conditions in low- and middle-income countries, IJTLD CRD improves access to knowledge to influence policy and practice for better health. Each issue provides a mix of articles, including: post TB lung disease (PTLD), asthma, COPD, impact of air pollution, lung damage in smokers, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, long COVID, sleep apnoea, occupational lung disease and interventional pulmonology.
We encourage authors working on chronic respiratory disease to submit their latest research on all aspects of the management and care of patients. We will consider Editorials, Meeting Reports, Original Research (including methodology papers and qualitative research), Reviews, Viewpoints, Study Protocols, Case Series, Case Reports and Letters.
We are particularly keen to promote research on early diagnosis and treatments – including the latest therapeutic advances that have relevance across a wide range of respiratory conditions. Our aim is to highlight the importance of these conditions to influence policymakers and improve clinical care in LMICs.
For all queries please e-mail the Editorial team at journal@theunion.org.
While preparing their article, authors should refer to the Instructions for Authors to check that they have complied with our requirements – see links below.
Once complete, please submit your manuscript at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijtld

Supplements and article series are a highly-effective way of highlighting a specific topic to researchers, clinicians and decision makers in respiratory health.

All content will be freely available and acknowledge the sponsors support and readers will receive emails to highlight sponsored content.
