Online First: CHEST publishes Original Research and select articles in its “Online First” section each week. These papers represent the raw, unedited, accepted manuscripts. Final versions will appear in a numbered issue. The media embargo for these articles is lifted at the date of publication in the “Online First” section, though readers are encouraged to check back to view the final article in the regular issue of CHEST, as substantive changes may occur.
Meeting Abstracts: Abstracts presented at the CHEST annual meeting will appear as an online supplement to CHEST in the month of October. Abstracts are embargoed until the date and time of presentation.
For questions regarding the CHEST embargo policy, please contact the ACCP Public Relations Department at (847) 498-1400 or by using our e-mail contact form.
