Patients affected by obstructive pulmonary diseases exhibit typical characteristics of airway mucus hypersecretion, including sputum production, in- creased luminal mucus, goblet cell hyperplasia and submucosal gland hypertrophy. The mucociliary system is a sophisticated defense mechanism to maintain the homeostasis of the respiratory tract by means of the bronchial mucus transport, the process in which airway mucus together with substances trapped within are moved out of the lungs. In the end, the mucus together with the substances trapped within are swallowed or coughed up. It is an impor- tant defense mechanism of the human body. [...]

We are pleased to announce that we have implemented a new plugin for our journal, which will track citations from Scopus, Google Scholar, Crossref, and Europe PMC. This will allow authors to easily see how many times their work has been cited in these databases. Europe PMC also serves as a search engine and directly links to the work as indexed on PubMed and PubMedCentral, providing additional visibility. The plugin widget (see below) can be found at the bottom of each published work, and by clicking on the database symbols, authors can view the citation numbers.
