The Journal of Critical Care provides a forum for the publication of original peer-reviewed articles with the goal of improving patient care by integrating critical care systems knowledge into practice behavior. The journal represents the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM), an organization of 42 national intensive/critical care societies representing some 32,000 physicians and allied health professionals. With this responsibility to the WFSICCM comes an international focus in systems research in constrained resource environments.
We accept research articles and review articles as well as those in a seminar or tutorial format. Topics covered are all aspects of Health Services Research, the interface of critical care, anesthesiology, and pain, as well as tutorials for residency education core competencies.
For the seminar format, the articles should be directed to the resident or practicing healthcare professional. We are particularly interested in your up-to-date evaluation of the topic. Dealing with subjects of current and sometimes controversial educational and research themes is acceptable. The seminar format lends itself to a more informal presentation. Express your own viewpoints, but feel free to discuss other viewpoints as well. If you are uncertain, please indicate the degree of your uncertainty. We are looking for an absolutely honest evaluation of the topic.
Manuscripts are accepted for consideration on the condition that they are contributed solely to the Journal of Critical Care. No substantial part of a paper may have been or may be published elsewhere, except for an abstract of 200 words or less.
Manuscripts will be critically reviewed by the Editor with appropriate independent referees drawn from the Editorial Board and other experts. Acknowledgments to other investigators for advice or data must be substantiated by written authorization specifically granting permission to authors. Upon submission, authors will be required to fill out an ethics in publishing form. All submissions must also include a conflict of interest statement.
