European Respiratory Review

The European Respiratory Review (ERR) is an open access journal published by the European Respiratory Society (ERS), providing an update on medicine, science and surgery for respiratory professionals. The ERR contains state-of-the-art review articles, editorials and correspondence, in addition to summaries of the most important recent research findings and published studies in topics such as COPD, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, tuberculosis and pulmonary infections. Articles are published continuously and collected into quarterly issues in one volume per year.
