2. SUBMITTING THE MANUSCRIPT TO THE EDITORIAL BOARD
2.1. Manuscript submission form
The manuscripts and additional files (accompanying documents, publishing agreement, scans of images, photographs, drawings, etc.) for publication in the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya are submitted exclusively in electronic form on the journal’s website after setting up the author’s account.
To send an article via your account, check the box “Author” to gain access to the electronic system for submitting manuscripts.
Any website user can submit an article, even if they are not among the authors of the submitted manuscript. Bear in mind that the correspondence of the editorial board with the authors goes only through the user who submitted the manuscript.
To submit an article, the user completes several fields in 5 steps. Fill in the form with as many details as possible (see the section “DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING ARTICLE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITORIAL BOARD”) not only for the successful consideration of the manuscript but also for high-quality indexing of the published article in the global databases and search engines.

The text should be typed in black Arial font, size 12. The headings are in bold. The line spacing is single. The size of the margins is 2 cm. Highlights in the text are allowed only in italics or bold, but not with underlining. All multiple spaces and extra line breaks must be removed from the text (automatically, via Find and Replace function in Microsoft Word).
2.2. Supplemental materials to the article (accompanying documents, publishing agreement, photographs, screenshots, scans, etc.) are uploaded in the form of separate jpg (jpeg), tiff, or png files (with “high” or “maximum” quality) with a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) and a size of at least 85 x 65 mm. Graphs and diagrams are accepted in Excel and PowerPoint formats.
It shall be a letter addressed to the editor-in-chief of the journal Professor A.G. Chuchalin, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The letter shall contain the following information:
- a proposal to the editor-in-chief to consider the article for publication in the journal,

You can view the cover letter template here.
Authors may include the names of potential reviewers who are undesirable due to conflicts of interest.
Under the publishing agreement, the authors reserve the right of authorship and grant the publisher, free of charge, for the duration of the copyright stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, an exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license (Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license) for publication, reproduction, duplication of paper and electronic copies of the article during the entire period specified in the licensing agreement. The publishing agreement is valid from the moment it is signed by the authors and sent to the editorial board in the form of an electronic scanned copy. The agreement is terminated automatically if the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya refuses to publish the article and informs the author about it in writing.
The author transfers the rights to the publisher free of charge, and the publication of the article in the journal does not entail any financial contributions to the author.
To see the complete template of the publishing agreement and print it, follow the link.
2.2.3. Declaration of conflicts of interest
Authors should declare the absence or presence of a conflict of interest in the text of the article when sending an article to the electronic editorial board of the journal PULMONOLOGIYA.
Detailed recommendations for the correct completion of this section are given in Section 3.5. When sending an article to the electronic editorial board, copy the text of the corresponding section of the article and paste it into the form.
2.2.4. Additional files with the illustrative material
All illustrations (photographs, diagrams, diagrams, graphs, etc.) are referred to as figures in the text. The volume of graphic material should be minimal.
Each image is submitted as a separate file and must be accompanied by a numbered caption (for example, Fig. 1. The pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension). References to figures in the text are obligatory!
Figure captions should use Arial font. All inscriptions on figures should be typed separately and presented immediately after the name of the figure. All English-language inscriptions must be translated into Russian. The legends to the plots shall include names of the abscissa and ordinate axes with the units of measurement and explanations for each curve.
If an electronic graphic was created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), then it should be presented as is, in the same format, so that it remains editable. Illustrations (plots, diagrams, flow charts, drawings) drawn using Microsoft Office should be clear and contrast.
Images should be in the body of the article immediately after the first reference in the text. To do so, save illustrations from a separate file as an image (in *.jpeg, *.bmp, *.gif format) and insert them in the article file as a non-editable image.
Photographs, monitor screens (screenshots), and other non-drawn illustrations should not only be inserted into the text of the manuscript but also uploaded separately in a special section of the form for submitting an article in the form of *.jpeg, *.bmp, *.gif files (*.doc or *.docx in case additional markings are applied to the image).
The image resolution should be > 300 dpi. The image files must be named and assigned a number corresponding to the figure number in the text. The description of the file should contain a separate caption, which must correspond to the name of the photograph inserted in the text. Figure captions should contain an exhaustive commentary on the image, including the visualization method and the view when demonstrating the results of instrumental diagnostic techniques; all symbols and abbreviations should be expanded. Captions to micrographs should indicate the method of staining and the magnification of the image.
If a drawing consists of several parts (for example, a, b, c), they should have a common title and separate captions for each part.
Suppose the manuscript contains figures previously published in other publications (even if their elements have been translated from a foreign language into Russian). In that case, the author must provide the editorial board with the permission of the copyright holder to publish this image in the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya and link to the source. Otherwise, this would be considered plagiarism.
2.2.5. The conclusion of the official translation agency on the equivalence of the English and Russian texts (for authors who want to publish the full text of the article both in Russian and in English in electronic form).
2.3. Language of the manuscript
The journal accepts manuscripts in Russian and/or English for publication. If the article is written in Russian, all metadata (full names of authors, information about authors, article title, official names of institutions, abstract, keywords), additional information (conflict of interest, financial support and sponsorship, acknowledgments, information about the authors and their contribution to the paper), references (see below), as well as titles and captions to figures and tables shall be translated into English.
The authors can provide the full text of the article in both Russian and English if they wish so. The translation shall be accompanied by the conclusion of any official translation agency on the equivalence of the English and Russian texts. If the full text of the article is available in two languages, the Russian text is published in the printed version of the journal, and both versions are published in the electronic version.
The journal’s editorial board is not responsible for the quality of the translation but controls the accuracy of the information provided by the authors in the original language.
Articles by foreign authors in English may be published by the decision of the editor-in-chief of the journal without translation into Russian (except for the article title, names of authors, official names of institutions, abstract and keywords, information on conflicts of interest, financial support and sponsorship, acknowledgments and information about authors and their contribution to the paper, titles and captions for figures and tables) or with translation.
2.4. The originality of the manuscript materials, the absence of plagiarism and self-plagiarism, exclusion of secondary publications
Unfair replication of text and appropriation of study results that do not belong to the authors of the submitted manuscript are unacceptable. An exception may be individual phrases and sentences accompanied by a link to the source. In addition, it is allowed to borrow (with reference to the source) well-established definitions and concepts, classifications, and regulated methodological information.
You cannot submit paper that has been published or sent to other journals.
Authors are strongly encouraged to check the article for originality before submitting it to the journal. This can be done free of charge and quickly using several services (for example, https://text.ru/antiplagiat (for Russian texts), www.plagiarism.org (for English texts)).
The editorial board checks all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism. Articles are not accepted for publication in the journal Pulmonologiya if the text similarity (percentage of borrowing) in the Antiplagiat system is more than 25%, and the originality is below 60%. Articles that have received positive feedback in double-blind peer-review and are awaiting publication for more than 12 months are re-checked in the Antiplagiat system immediately before the article is included in an issue. If the originality index of the manuscript is below 60% and/or if the permissible percentage of replication is exceeded, the editorial board reserves the right to refuse publication or ask the authors to revise the article to update it.
3. LAYOUT AND STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE
The operation of the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya is based on the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association. The journal seeks to ensure compliance with ethical standards and rules for collecting information for studies with human subjects.
In accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, “… authors, sponsors, editors and publishers all have ethical obligations with regard to the publication and dissemination of the results of research. Researchers have a duty to make publicly available the results of their research on human subjects and are accountable for the completeness and accuracy of their reports. All parties should adhere to accepted guidelines for ethical reporting. Negative and inconclusive as well as positive results must be published or otherwise made publicly available. Sources of funding, institutional affiliations and conflicts of interest must be declared in the publication. Reports of research not in accordance with the principles of this Declaration should not be accepted for publication.”
To ensure these ethical standards, the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya requests the authors to comply with the rules for scientific publications.
3.1. The structure of the article depending on its type (section of the journal): (recommendations of the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya)
Scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya accepts the original manuscripts for publication in the following sections:
- ORIGINAL STUDIES
- REVIEWS
- LECTIONS
- PRACTICAL NOTES
- CLINICAL GUIDELINES
- CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
- HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT
- RETROSPECTIVE
- DISCUSSIONS
- LETTER TO EDITOR
- BRIEF REPORTS
The text of the article and the abstract should have a clear structure according to the IMRAD principle (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion): Introduction/relevance, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, sections “Financial and sponsorship”, “Conflict of interest”, “Contribution of authors”, “Acknowledgments”, with slight variation depending on the section.
The table shows the sequential structure of the article, depending on its type, sequence, and description of the content.
Structure of articles sent for consideration to the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya should also comply with international standards developed by the International Initiative Group for Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Medical Research EQUATOR (https://www.equator-network.org/) for main types of articles.
3.2. The volume of the article, illustrative material, and references
Journal section | Maximum word number (excluding metadata and bibliography in 2 languages) | Maximum allowed number of tables and figures | Maximum number of literature sources |
Original studies | 3,500 | 8 | 40 |
Reviews | 4,000 | 6 | 80 |
Lections | 3,500 | 4 | 20 |
Clinical pharmacology | 3,500 | 4 | 30 |
Practical notes | 3,000 | 6 | 20 |
Brief reports, Letter to editor | 1,500 | 2 | 10 |
The volume of the abstract (regardless of the section of the article) is 150-300 words (at least 700 characters), the number of keywords is from 3 to 10.
The word count can be found in Microsoft Word (section “Word Count” in the Tool menu or the bottom bar).
3.3. Correct layout of manuscript metadata
Scientific publication metadata includes the title of the article, authors, their affiliation (information about institutions), information about authors, abstracts, keywords. This data is presented at the beginning of the article: first, the entire metadata block is described in Russian and then in English.
Further citation of the article, the possibility of its inclusion in the scientometric databases and, ultimately, the citation index of the authors largely depend on the correct metadata.
The table shows a sample of correct article metadata.
Indicate the sources of funding for both scientific work and the publication of the article (foundation, commercial or state organization, private person, etc.). If the study did not have direct financial support but was supported by a supply of drug products, equipment, or other means, this should also be indicated in this section. There is no need to clarify the volume of funding or other assistance.
Example 1: The article was published with the support of Takeda LLC.
Example 2: The work was carried out under the state assignment of the Federal Research Center of the Clinical and Scientific Center of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science Research Institute of Medical Problems of the North “Prevalence, risk factors and clinical manifestations of precancerous changes in the esophagus and stomach in indigenous population and newcomers of various regions of Eastern Siberia in ontogenesis” No.1201351111.
The authors undertake to disclose any relevant conflicts of interest. All cases of potential or existing conflict of interest (personal, commercial, ideological, academic, intellectual) during the last 36 months (except for question 1, see below) that could affect the objectivity of the author’s professional judgment in relation to the disclosed topics (see the Conflicts of Interest section of our website, https://journal.pulmonology.ru/pulm/about/editorialPolicies#custom-5).
Cases that may be considered a conflict of interest are described as recommended by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors – ICMJE, 2021, http://www.icmje.org/disclosure-of-interest/).
- Was this manuscript supported in any way (e.g., funding, provision of training materials, medical writing, fee for revision of the article, etc.)? There is no time limit for this aspect.
- Was the paper supported by grants or contracts from any organization (unless specified in paragraph 1 above)?
- Did you receive royalties or license fees?
- Did you receive fees for consulting services, lectures, presentations, speaking at events, writing manuscripts, or participating in educational events?
- Did you receive a payment for expert opinions?
- Was there any support for participation in scientific events and/or travel?
- Do any of the co-authors have any planned, granted, or pending patents?
- Have any of the co-authors participated in data safety monitoring boards or advisory boards?
- Are any of the co-authors members of a board or other management (fiduciary role), community, committee, or advocacy group, whether paid or unpaid?
- Does the author have stocks or stock options?
- Did you receive equipment, supplies, medicines, medical books, gifts, or other goods/services?
- Indicate (if any) other financial or non-financial interests.
If there is at least one positive answer to the questions posed, you should declare and describe your conflict of interest.
In the interests of transparency, we ask you to disclose all relationships/actions/interests listed below that are related to the content of your manuscript. “Related” means any relationship with a commercial or non-commercial third party whose interests may be affected by the article.
Disclosure is a commitment to transparency and does not necessarily indicate bias. If you doubt whether a relationship/activity/interest should be listed, we advise listing it.
The questions presented relate to relationships/activities/interests solely in light of the authorship of this publication.
The relationships/activities/interests of authors should be described comprehensively.
For example, if your manuscript is about the epidemiology of hypertension, you should declare all relationships with antihypertensive drug manufacturers, even if the drug is not mentioned in the manuscript.
A conflict of interest itself is not an ethical violation; a violation occurs when this information is hidden. If an undeclared conflict of interest is discovered before the article is published, this fact may become a reason to decline its consideration and publication. If an undeclared conflict of interest is discovered after publication, the editorial board reserves the right to consider withdrawal (retraction) of the article.
Example of disclosing a conflict of interest: Ivanov A.A. – lecturing for Takeda, Sanofi, Biomarin. Petrov B.B. – receiving research grants and personal fees for scientific consulting and lectures from MSD Pharmaceuticals LLC; Pfizer Innovations LLC, Sanofi-Aventis Group JSC, SanofiPaster JSC, Glaxo, Progress JSC, Bionorica JSC, Takeda LLC, Pierre Fabr LLC, Mylan Pharma LLC. The rest of the authors of the article have confirmed the absence of relevant conflicts of interest.
3.6. Ethical review of the study
(Information is indicated in the Materials and Methods section and a separate section after Conflict of Interest).
Under the recommendations of the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), “documented review and approval from a formally constituted review board (Institutional Review Board or Ethics committee) should be required for all studies involving people, medical records, and human tissues”. Following these guidelines, authors are required to indicate that the responsible ethics committee (institutional or national; indicate the official name of the committee, decision, document number, date of signing) has approved the study or deemed this evaluation unnecessary. In the absence of an official ethics committee, this statement indicates that the study was conducted under the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Report whether the study participants signed voluntary informed consent. When publishing clinical observations, including ones with the use of photographs of patients, permission must be obtained from them or their legal representatives to publish a description of the case, the results of examination and treatment, as well as photographic materials indicating the date of signing the consent. The editorial board of the journal reserves the right to ask the authors of the manuscript to provide a copy of the permission of the ethics committee to conduct the study.
Example 1. Ethical review
The study protocol (No.15) was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health of the Ministry of Health of Russia (Moscow) on October 27, 2017. Before initiation of the study, the parents of all children and children aged 15 years gave a written informed voluntary consent to confirm their participation.
Example 2: This study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association. Each patient gave a written informed consent to participate in the study.
Authors who report an experimental study on animals must confirm compliance with institutional and national standards for the use of laboratory animals (Consensus Author Guidelines for Animal use: http://www.veteditors.org/consensus-author-guidelines-on-animal-ethics-and-welfare-for-editors).
In the section “Contribution” it is necessary to indicate shares of the authors in writing the article (if possible, in percentage), that is, in which of the above stages of creating the article each of its authors took part. Authors’ contributions must meet the following conditions (ICMJE, 2013):
- significant participation in the development of the concept and design, collection, analysis, and interpretation of the data;
- preparation of the article or its revision;
- approval of the final version of the article;
- responsibility for the integrity of all parts of the article.
Example: Ivanov A.A. – the concept and design of the study; Petrov B.B. – collection and processing of the material; P.P. Sidorov – statistical analysis; Fedorov I.I. – writing the text; Kozlov V.V. – editing the text.
All authors made a significant contribution to the search and analytical work and preparation of the article, read and approved the final version before publication, and accepted responsibility for the integrity of all parts of the article.
A certain part of the technical preparation of the manuscript (data collection, scientific guidance, patient care, various consultations, technical assistance, translations, making comments, partial participation in the writing or editing of the article) is not directly related to authorship. Individuals or organizations with such a role in the article’s preparation may be listed in the Acknowledgments section.
Example:
Acknowledgments. The authors are grateful to the staff of the archive of the D.D. Pletnev State Clinical Hospital of the Moscow Health Department for the provided patient histories and X-ray images necessary for writing this article.
Caution! The authors are responsible for the correctness of the bibliographic data.
A correct description of bibliographic sources guarantees that the cited publication will be taken into account when evaluating the scientific activities of its authors and the institutions they represent.
The Vancouver referencing style is used in the scientific and practical journal Pulmonologiya. The references are listed not alphabetically but in the order of their mentioning in the text, regardless of the language in which the paper is published.
Bibliographic references in the text of the article are indicated by numbers in square brackets. Make sure that all sources from the references are mentioned in the text (and vice versa).
In addition to the fundamental papers, the references list should contain publications over the past 7 years, primarily articles from journals, links to highly cited sources, including those from Scopus and Web of Science (approximately 50% of all sources). The links must be verifiable (have a DOI or an active link).
Include a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) if the article has it. Use the website https://www.doi.org/ to check whether an article has a DOI.
The journal Pulmonologiya kindly asks the authors to include articles previously published on the pages of our journal in the references.
A separate reference to the source must accompany each scientific fact. If several scientific facts are mentioned in one sentence, put a reference after each (not at the end of the sentence). Multiple references are given in chronological order.
The titles of foreign journals should be abbreviated in accordance with the catalog of titles of the MedLine database (PubMed). If the journal is not indexed in MedLine (PubMed), provide the full title. Do not abbreviate the titles of Russian journals. Put a full stop after an abbreviation. The title of the journal must be in italics.
Links to Internet sources must be reliable and durable. At least provide the full URL and the date the link was available.
Do not refer to unpublished, retracted (withdrawn from the press) articles. The volume of self-citation should be minimal and allowed only in absolute necessity (no more than 3 – 5 references).
Do not refer to conference materials, poster reports, textbooks, synopsizes of thesis (it is better to refer to an article based on a thesis). Links to such sources can be put in footnotes.
If a document is cited (order, GOST, patent, medical and sanitary rules, guidelines, regulation, decree, sanitary and epidemiological rules, regulation, federal law), it should be included in a footnote, not in the references.
The bibliographic description of a book (see sample) shall include the city, publisher, and year of publication. When referencing an article from a book, indicate the author(s) and title of the article first, then the author(s) or editor(s) and the title of the book, followed by the imprint: city, publisher, year of publication, and pages.
If the number of authors does not exceed 4, name all of them in the bibliographic description of the source. If the publication has more than 4 authors, put “et al.” after the 3rd author.
The list of references should be submitted in two versions: one in the original language (Russian sources — in Cyrillic, English — in Latin), and the second in Latin for international databases.
In the References, the following bibliographic reference structure is required for Russian sources: author(s) (transliteration), translation of the book or article title into English (given in square brackets), journal name (transliteration), output data (see examples below) and DOI, the language of the article in parentheses (for example, ‘in Russian’) (see the sample).
The list of references can be transliterated in the Latin alphabet conveniently using websites http://translit.net/ orhttp://translit.ru/. In the “Options” box, select the BGN (Board of Geographic Names) transliteration system. We do not recommend transliterating manually to avoid mistakes.
Caution! Provide the full imprint of the article. If the journal has both a volume and a number, specify both. If the journal does not have volume numbering, do not list the volume, but give the issue number in parentheses. Publications in the supplements to the journal issues are marked as “Прил.” / “Suppl.”. Do not indicate the publication date unless a reference is made to a yet unpublished source (Preprint). In this case, indicate the name of the journal and the date of the first publication (Online First).
