In 2020, Respirology was included in an expression of concern from Web of Science Journal Citation Reports for excessive self-citation.[3]
History
editThe journal was established in March 1996 by the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology as a quarterly edition. It was subsequently adopted by the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand as its preferred journal, by the Japanese Respiratory Society and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine as their preferred English-language journal and by the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology as an official journal. It gradually increased the number of issues to 12 per year. In 2008, an article processing charge was introduced. In 2015, the journal moved to online-only delivery.
An open-access sister journal named Respirology Case Reports was launched in 2013.[4]
Controversies
editIn 2020, Clarivate Journal Citation Reports published an expression of concern on a number of journals with extraordinary self-citation rates. Respirology was highlighted for having articles with an atypically large contribution to journal citation metrics, including one article that cited 53 other Respirology articles.[3][5]
