The Annals of the American Thoracic Society is an official medical journal of the American Thoracic Society (ATS). It publishes original clinical and epidemiological research in the fields of pulmonology, critical care medicine, and sleep medicine.[2] Known colloquially as the "White Journal", the Annals of the American Thoracic Society is one of four journals published by the American Thoracic Society, along with the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine ("Blue Journal"), American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ("Red Journal"), and ATS Scholar.[3]
The Annals of the American Thoracic Society is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes clinical trials and original scientific research related to adult and pediatric pulmonary and respiratory sleep medicine, as well as adult critical care medicine, that is applicable to clinical practice, the formative and continuing education of clinical specialists, and the advancement of public health. With a focus on clinical practice, the journal features original research articles, brief communications, focused reviews, perspectives, opinions and ideas, and NIH workshop reports.[4][5]
Since 2013, the journal has produced a monthly podcast in which clinicians and contributing authors to the Annals of the American Thoracic Society discuss a range of topics pertaining to pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in order to help research findings reach a wider audience.[6][7]
