Aims & Scope

Anesthesia and Critical Care Reports and Imaging (ANCRI) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal aimed at specialists working in the fields of anesthesiology and critical care. The Editorial Board envisions the journal as a source of engaging, novel, educational, and thought-provoking material primarily for professionals in anesthesiology, critical care, pain management, and related specialties. The primary goal of our journal is to cater specifically to anesthesiologists and critical care specialists by publishing high-quality scientific research focused on these two disciplines. This aims to enhance knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals and guide clinical practices. Therefore, the content published in the journal and on its website should reflect these objectives, and the Editorial Team will evaluate submissions based on these goals.

All articles published in our journal undergo a double-blind peer-review process. This ensures an honest and fair process for authors and their submissions. To this end, we are committed to processing manuscripts promptly, responding to inquiries within a reasonable timeframe, and collaborating with authors to improve their work. In return, we expect authors to act with honesty and integrity. Submissions that are plagiarized, fraudulent, fabricated, or simultaneously submitted to other journals will not be accepted.

ANCRI aims to publish studies covering the following key topics:

• Perioperative patient management and prevention of complications
• Innovations in general and regional anesthesia techniques
• Pain management
