NASMS SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS
ADVANCING RESTORATION SCIENCE THROUGH SCHOLARLY PUBLICATION
The North American Sleep Medicine Society develops scientific publications that examine the biological, physical, environmental, and restorative processes through which living systems preserve organization and function.
Through a structured scholarly publishing program, NASMS provides a platform for foundational works, scientific papers, atlases, hypotheses, protocols, and other contributions that advance the interdisciplinary development of Restoration Science.

THE NASMS PUBLICATION ARCHITECTURE
ONE SCHOLARLY SYSTEM · MULTIPLE FORMS OF SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTION
NASMS organizes its scholarly publications into distinct series, each designed to serve a specific role within the development, communication, and preservation of Restoration Science.
Together, these publication series provide a structured pathway for foundational concepts, scientific investigation, hypothesis development, clinical and scientific guidance, educational reference works, and the preservation of the Society’s intellectual record.
NASMS-FM — Foundational Monographs
NASMS-ATLAS — Atlases
NASMS-SP — Scientific Papers
NASMS-HYP — Scientific Hypotheses
NASMS-PP — Position Papers
NASMS-BR — Briefs
NASMS-PR — Protocols
NASMS-BK — Books
NASMS-ADR — Archival Development Records

Foundational & Reference Works
BUILDING THE INTELLECTUAL FOUNDATION OF RESTORATION SCIENCE
Foundational and reference publications establish the conceptual language, scientific frameworks, and organized bodies of knowledge upon which Restoration Science can develop.
These works provide the deeper scholarly foundation needed to define emerging concepts, integrate knowledge across disciplines, and create durable reference materials for scientific investigation, education, and future scholarship.
NASMS-FM — Foundational Monographs
Focused scholarly works that develop foundational concepts, scientific frameworks, and specific areas of Restoration Science in depth.
NASMS-ATLAS — Atlases
Structured visual and scientific reference works designed to organize complex biological processes, relationships, and mechanisms across multiple levels of living systems.
NASMS-BK — Books
Comprehensive scholarly works that examine broader scientific questions and integrate knowledge across disciplines within or relevant to the Restoration Science framework.

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY & RESEARCH
FROM SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS TO TESTABLE KNOWLEDGE
Scientific progress begins with questions that can be examined, challenged, measured, and refined.
NASMS scientific inquiry publications provide distinct formats for presenting research findings, developing testable hypotheses, and examining scientific evidence in areas relevant to Restoration Science.
Together, these publications support the progression from observation and scientific reasoning to investigation, critical evaluation, and the continued development of knowledge.
NASMS-SP — Scientific Papers
Research and scholarly analyses that investigate specific scientific questions and contribute evidence, interpretation, or theoretical development relevant to Restoration Science.
NASMS-HYP — Scientific Hypotheses
Structured scientific hypotheses that identify proposed relationships or mechanisms and establish questions that can be examined through observation, measurement, and experimental investigation.
NASMS-PP — Position Papers
Scholarly examinations of defined scientific or professional questions that synthesize available evidence and articulate an institutional position where appropriate.

APPLICATION, GUIDANCE & SCHOLARLY RECORD
FROM SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE TO ENDURING SCHOLARSHIP
Scientific knowledge serves different purposes as it develops. Some findings must be translated into structured methods, others communicated concisely, and important stages in the development of scientific ideas preserved as part of the scholarly record.
NASMS provides publication formats designed to support these different functions while maintaining clear distinctions between scientific evidence, practical guidance, and historical documentation.
NASMS-PR — Protocols
Structured scientific and methodological documents that describe procedures, measurement approaches, or standardized frameworks intended to support consistency, reproducibility, and further investigation.
NASMS-BR — Briefs
Concise scholarly publications that communicate focused scientific concepts, emerging questions, or important developments in an accessible and clearly defined format.
NASMS-ADR — Archival Development Records
Documents preserving significant stages in the development of Restoration Science, including the evolution of concepts, frameworks, terminology, and institutional scientific work.

Scholarly Standards & Scientific Record
SCHOLARLY STANDARDS & DISCOVERABILITY
BUILDING A SCIENTIFIC RECORD DESIGNED TO ENDURE
Scientific publication carries a responsibility beyond the communication of ideas. It requires clear authorship, transparent scholarly standards, appropriate review, accurate citation, and the preservation of scientific work so that it can be examined, referenced, and built upon over time.
NASMS is developing its publication program around these principles, with editorial policies and publication practices designed to support scientific integrity, responsible scholarship, and long-term accessibility.
SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY
Clear authorship, attribution, conflicts-of-interest disclosure, citation practices, and publication ethics.
EDITORIAL & PEER REVIEW
Defined editorial oversight and independent peer review where appropriate to the publication type.
IDENTIFICATION & PRESERVATION
Persistent publication identifiers, structured metadata, and archival practices designed to preserve the scholarly record.
DISCOVERABILITY
Publication infrastructure designed to make NASMS scholarship increasingly accessible to researchers, clinicians, educators, indexing systems, and the broader scientific community.
SCIENCE SHOULD BE EXAMINABLE · TRACEABLE · DISCOVERABLE · ENDURING
TOGETHER FOR A MORE RESTORATIVE TOMORROW
NASMS is a scientific society dedicated to advancing knowledge, education, and collaboration in the science of human restoration.
