The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease has launched IJTLD Chronic Respiratory Disease (IJTLD CRD), a new open access journal fully compliant with Plan S. The journal has now published its first articles and provides a dedicated platform for research on the management and care of people living with chronic respiratory diseases.
IJTLD CRD features a broad range of article types, including original research, reviews, study protocols, case reports, methodology papers, qualitative research, editorials and viewpoints. The journal places particular emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment, including therapeutic advances relevant across respiratory conditions, with the aim of informing policy and strengthening clinical care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
