Dear Society member,
 
We are very pleased to inform you that Asthma Research and Practice (ARP) has now officially launched and published its first articles. ARP is the official journal of Interasma – the Global Asthma Association and is led by joint Editors-in-Chief, Juan Celedón (USA) and Giovanni Passalaqua (Italy). The Open Access, peer-reviewed journal aims to spread international awareness and knowledge about the growing burden of asthma by publishing basic, clinical and translational research concerning asthma and related disorders.
 
ARP aims to serve as an international platform for the dissemination of research of interest to pulmonologists, allergologists, primary care physicians and family doctors, ENTs and other health care providers interested in asthma, its mechanisms and comorbidities.
 
You can read all of the publications, including the launch Editorial, on the journal website: www.asthmarp.com/content. The journal will be published continuously online-only and so we encourage you to sign up to receive free email alerts to keep up to date with all of the latest research. You can do this by registeringhere.    
 
As an Interasma society member, please do help us spread the word about the journal by encouraging colleagues to submit their manuscripts and by submitting high quality work yourself. Don’t forget we have also have a range of materials available to help you support us in letting people know about the journal, www.asthmarp.com/about/promote for example if you are attending any meetings relevant to the journal’s scope.
 
Thank you for your support so far, we look forward to working with you to build the success of Asthma Research and Practice!
 
With best wishes,
Juan Celedón, jointEditor-in-Chief
Giovanni Passalacqua, jointEditor-in-Chief
