Pneumologie

Pneumologie, with the ISSN 0934-8387, is a peer-reviewed medical journal dedicated to the field of respiratory medicine. Published by Georg Thieme Verlag, the journal serves as a key German-language platform for the dissemination of clinical and scientific advances in pulmonology. Its scope encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including the diagnosis, treatment, and management of respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary infections, and sleep-related breathing disorders. The journal also covers interventional pulmonology, respiratory physiology, and critical care medicine. Pneumologie features a variety of article types to cater to its readership, including original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case reports, editorials, and clinical guidelines. The primary target audience consists of pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, thoracic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with respiratory conditions. As a notable feature, the journal offers both print and online access, with selected articles available in open access under a Creative Commons license. In terms of its standing within the field, Pneumologie holds an Impact Factor of 1.0000 for 2026 and is classified in the Q4 quartile of the JCR. This placement reflects its role as a specialized, regional journal that prioritizes clinically relevant content for the German-speaking medical community, making it a valuable resource for practitioners seeking applied knowledge and updates on national treatment standards rather than a vehicle for high-impact international research.
