Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a Special Issue on Environmental Physiology and Medicine in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that publishes articles and communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. For detailed information about the journal, we refer you to https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph.
Our potential authors are the participants to our International Symposium on Environmental Physiology and Medicine, to be held in Padova on 2–4 December 2022 (https://simsi.it/comunicazioni-simsi/8443/), under the auspices of IJERPH and SIMSI (Italian Society of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine).
This international panel is part of the XXV SIMSI national meeting, and it will gather distinguished clinicians, physiologists, and young scientists to discuss up-to-date environmental physiology and hyperbaric medicine topics. For example, the conference will discuss issues related to extreme derangements in oxygen levels—from the hypoxia experienced by breath-hold divers to the therapeutic hyperoxia caused by hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Moreover, cutting-edge issues such as recent discoveries, the development of underwater telemonitoring of divers, or new research techniques developed by different groups (arterial blood gas analysis at depth, underwater chest ultrasound, and NIRS monitoring while diving) will be at the center of academic constructive discussions throughout the meeting.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a forum for proceedings to keep track of all the issues discussed during the meeting to diffuse new research techniques and identify research priorities among experts in the field. Further, the Special Issue will act as an accelerator to promote interdisciplinary studies between human and animal physiology, psychology, biomedical engineering, physics, emergency medicine, and critical care. The interconnection of scientific fields is necessary to increase our understanding of pathophysiological changes encountered by the human body exposed to hyperbaric hyperoxia or hypoxia and ensure the best management of patients.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
