About the journal
Mission Statement
The mission of the Annals of the American Thoracic Society (AnnalsATS) is to improve the health of adults and children with respiratory diseases, sleep disorders, and critical illness through dissemination of research and clinician education.
Aims and Scope
As an official international online journal of the American Thoracic Society, the Annals of the American Thoracic Society (AnnalsATS), formerly PATS, delivers up-to-date and authoritative coverage of adult and pediatric pulmonary and respiratory sleep medicine and adult medical critical care. The scope of the journal encompasses content that is applicable to clinical practice, the formative and continuing education of clinical specialists, and the advancement of public health.
The journal features methodologically rigorous Original Research articles that address questions relevant to patient care and health care delivery. Additional highlighted contents include Focused Reviews that update readers on the epidemiology, classification, and management of clinical problems, and the safe, efficacious application of procedures. Perspectives provide contemporary or historical overviews of topics relating to health care delivery, dissemination of knowledge, public health, clinical ethics, professionalism, and health care policy. Opinions and Ideas articles offer informed opinions on controversial or unsettled questions of interest to clinicians. Under the heading Case Conferences, AnnalsATS publishes clinical vignettes that illuminate knowledge of current clinical practice in a format inspired by the teaching conferences common to many academic fellowship training programs. On the Receiving End articles provide an opportunity for patients and family members to communicate observations and recommendations to clinicians based on narratives of personal experience in health care. Other sections described in the Instructions for Authors address global lung health, practice management, and medical education within the specialty scope of the journal.
AnnalsATS Supplements publishes the proceedings or executive summaries of major scientific conferences and ATS or NIH workshop reports.
The editors employ a rigorous peer-review and quality control process to evaluate, select, and edit manuscripts for adherence to ATS standards of scientific inquiry and integrity. AnnalsATS conforms to ATS policies regarding the full disclosure of financial associations that might influence published content.
The journal is fully indexed in Medline, PubMed and other leading journal databases.
History
The journal began as the Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society (PATS). The first issue was published on January 1, 2004, under the leadership of the founding editor, Alan R. Leff, MD (2004-2011). In its original format, the journal published official ATS workshop reports and the proceedings of select symposiums and conferences, including the Aspen Lung Conference, the Transatlantic Airway Conference, the Lund COPD Symposium, and the ATS Clinical Year in Review. John Hansen-Flaschen, MD, became the second editor of the journal in April 2012. Reflecting a major change in the focus of the journal to meet the needs and interests of clinicians, the name was changed to Annals of the American Thoracic Society (AnnalsATS) effective February 2013. David Lederer, MD became the third editor in 2017, and the journal is now published online and in print.
