Why Your Anesthesia Research Matters
Anesthesia and perioperative medicine sit at the center of surgical safety, recovery, and long term outcomes. IJAN seeks research that improves patient care through better monitoring, safer medication strategies, and evidence based perioperative pathways. We welcome multidisciplinary collaborations spanning anesthesia, nursing, surgery, pharmacy, and intensive care.
Authors should frame their work with clear clinical relevance, including patient centered outcomes, safety metrics, and implications for practice. Manuscripts that integrate quality improvement methods, implementation science, or real world evidence are strongly encouraged.
Strengthen Your Submission
- Provide detailed anesthesia protocols and monitoring methods.
- Report adverse events and safety endpoints transparently.
- Include statistical justification and effect sizes.
- Describe perioperative pathways and co interventions.
- Include data availability and ethics statements.
Well prepared manuscripts help reviewers focus on clinical relevance and enable rapid, fair decisions.
What Reviewers Look For
High impact submissions clearly define patient populations, perioperative pathways, and outcomes that matter to clinicians. Reviewers look for robust methodology, transparent statistical reporting, and a clear explanation of how the findings influence clinical practice.
We particularly welcome work that evaluates safety interventions, monitoring technologies, or analgesia strategies across diverse surgical populations. Studies that include real world implementation or quality improvement outcomes are encouraged.
- Describe anesthetic protocols and monitoring methods in detail.
- Report adverse events and safety endpoints transparently.
- Include patient centered outcomes and follow up data.
- Provide trial registration or protocol references when applicable.
- Explain how results translate to perioperative practice.
Multi Center And Team Based Research
IJAN encourages submissions from multi center teams and quality collaboratives that address perioperative outcomes at scale. Manuscripts should explain governance, data harmonization, and quality control procedures across participating sites.
When reporting collaborative work, include clear author contribution statements and specify how sites coordinated anesthesia protocols, monitoring standards, and outcome collection.
- Describe how protocols were standardized across sites.
- Clarify data sharing agreements and IRB approvals.
- Include subgroup analyses when clinically relevant.
Manuscripts That Fit IJAN
We welcome studies that compare anesthetic techniques, evaluate airway strategies, or assess perioperative risk reduction programs. Translational work that links pharmacology to clinical practice is also encouraged.
Submissions should clearly explain how findings improve safety, recovery, or outcomes across surgical specialties.
- Enhanced recovery protocols and implementation studies.
- Risk prediction tools for anesthesia complications.
- Clinical trials of analgesic or sedative strategies.
Efficient And Transparent Decisions
IJAN aims to deliver first decisions within 21 days. Clear reporting and complete submissions help us maintain this timeline. Authors receive detailed feedback and guidance for revisions.
Compliance Matters
Manuscripts should include ethics approval statements, trial registration when applicable, and reporting checklists. Clear disclosure of funding, conflicts, and study limitations helps reviewers assess validity and clinical value. Submissions with complete documentation typically move faster through peer review and are more likely to be actionable for clinicians.
Scope Clarification
If your study involves perioperative medicine, anesthesia safety, or pain management, IJAN is an appropriate venue. Send a short abstract to [email protected] for quick feedback on scope fit.
