Guide for Authors

The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) publishes definitive, peer-reviewed articles devoted to the clinical practice of anesthesia. The JCA should be a participant in continuing education of clinicians, forecast important issues and trends in anesthesia, and foster responsible debate on controversial issues. As an international journal, it encourages cross-communication between different cultures, informing our readers about medical and sometimes nonmedical journalism, and provides enjoyable reading. Advertising between the pages of editorial content is not permitted.

Be advised that our average review period is now fewer than thirty days.

Images:

The section "Images" can now include "Graphical Abstracts" or "Infographics."

A graphical abstract is a single, concise, pictorial and visual summary of the main findings of the article. This could either be the concluding figure from the article or a figure that is specially designed for the purpose, which captures the content of the article for readers at a single glance. Please see examples below. The graphical abstract will be displayed in online search result lists, the online contents list and the online article, but will not (yet) appear in the article PDF file or print.

Author instructions

A graphical abstract should allow readers to quickly gain an understanding of the main take-home message of the paper and is intended to encourage browsing, promote interdisciplinary scholarship, and help readers identify more quickly which papers are most relevant to their research interests. Authors must provide an image that clearly represents the work described in the paper. A key figure from the original paper, summarising the content can also be submitted as a graphical abstract. Graphical abstracts should be submitted as a separate file in the submission system by selecting "graphical abstracts" from the drop-down list when uploading files.

Specifications:

A graphical abstract should be a one-image file and should visualize one process or make one point clear. For ease of browsing, the graphical abstract should have a clear start and end, preferably "reading" from top to bottom or left to right. Try to reduce distracting and cluttering elements as much as possible.

Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum of 531 x 1328 pixels (hxw) using a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. If you are submitting a larger image then please use the same ratio (200 high x 500 wide). Please note that your image will be scaled proportionally to fit in the available window on ScienceDirect; a 500 by 200 pixel rectangle.

Font: Please use Times, Arial, Courier or Symbol font with a large enough font size as the image will be reduced in size for the Table of Contents to fit a window of 200 pixels high.

File type: preferred file types are TIFF, EPS, PDF or MS Office files.

No additional text, outline or synopsis should be included. Any text or label must be part of the image file. Please do not use unnecessary white space or a heading "graphical abstract" within the image file.

Research Paper:

This article type is an original research investigation which is generally hypothesis-driven and includes an introduction, materials and methods, results, and discussion, along with the interpretation of the study findings. Both prospective and retrospective studies which describe new research findings can be submitted, including all types of research study designs. All articles must comply with the applicable EQUATOR and other Publishing Ethics guidelines.
