PUBLISH AN OUTSTANDING ARTICLE IN AJP-LUNG:

WIN A SCHOLARSHIP TO ATTEND ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS PULMONARY MEETINGS IN THE WORLD

One of the Deputy Editors of AJP-Lung (Dr. Rory Morty) is in charge of the International Graduate Programme in Molecular Biology and Medicine of the Lung at the Universities  of Giessen and Marburg Lung Center, Germany.  This program sponsors a yearly retreat, which in the opinion of the Editor is one of the best pulmonary meetings in the world

(https://www.uni-giessen.de/fbz/fb11/forschung/graduierte/mbml/files/retreat_2012.pdf).

We feel that trainees and junior faculty will benefit greatly by attending this meeting to be  held in Rauischholzhausen, Germany August 6-8, 2016.  The American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology and the International Graduate Programme Molecular Biology and Medicine of the Lung are co-sponsoring two fellowships this year to allow one trainee (graduate student, post-doctoral fellow or clinical Fellow) and one junior faculty (instructor or Assistant Professor) to travel to Giessen and participate in this glorious event.  A travel allowance of up to $1200 to cover transportation will be paid by AJP-Lung while local transportation, food and lodging will be provide the ICPMBM).  Candidates should have published an outstanding paper in AJP-Lung during the last two years as first author while either a trainee or an Assistant Professor.  Those that receive an award from AJP-Lung will be given priority.  Nominations or self-nominations should be sent to the Managing Editor (Ms. Amy McEver at amcever@emory.edu).  Winners will be expected to write a short review on a topic of a lecture by an invited speaker to be considered for publication in AJP-Lung.

2015 Publication Satistics

According to the 2015 statistics, AJP-Lung has continued to demonstrate that we publish the best research papers in the lung community. 

Monthly, The American Physiological Society recognizes the “best of the best” articles among all of it’s peer-reviewed journals.  Each month’s 10 selections can be viewed online  (http://apsselect.physiology.org/).  AJP-Lung is proud to have had their articles selected 13 times in 2015.  Considering that we are one of the smaller APS journals, this is a  huge honor for us and proves that we are indeed attracting and publishing the very best articles.  See below.

We have also learned that our journal has 3 of the most highly cited APS manuscripts for 2015.  We would like to congratulate all the authors below for this achievement. 

Thank you for always submitting your best work to AJP-Lung!
