Elsevier, the information analytics business specialising in science and health, is now the new publisher of the British Journal of Anaesthesia (BJA) and its companion title BJA Education (BJA Ed), beginning in 2018.
Both journals are official publications of The Royal College of Anaesthetists, The College of Anaesthetists of Ireland and The Hong Kong College of Anaesthesiologists, and published by Elsevier on behalf of the charitable organisation, British Journal of Anaesthesia. The journals' editorial activities are underpinned by core values of integrity and innovation, and are undertaken to provide support to researchers and practitioners worldwide who are dedicated to driving advancements in the field of anaesthesia and to providing optimal patient care.
Founded in 1923, BJA remains the oldest and largest independent journal of anaesthesia. The journal strives to foster and disseminate the best research and educational information in anaesthesia, perioperative medicine, critical care, and pain management with the ultimate goal of improving patient care globally. The journal will continue to be led by Editor-in-Chief Hugh C. Hemmings, Professor and Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Senior Associate Dean for Research, Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University, New York, NY, US. Prof. Hemmings and BJA’s eminent international editorial board are committed to the publication of papers of the highest standard through the application of its stringent peer review process.
BJA's sister publication, BJA Education, has already earned a global reputation as a highly valued resource for continuing professional development in anaesthesia and related specialties. Published monthly, it strengthens the educational platform provided by the BJA as a whole and complements the well-established education reviews published in the BJA. The BJA Education editorial team, under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Professor Jonathan Thompson, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and University of Leicester, UK, commissions articles from international experts. Each article is accompanied by a set of multiple choice questions to enhance learning.
Researchers and practitioners, as well as the libraries that serve them, will have access to the journal's content through Elsevier's online platforms. These offer readers enhanced discoverability, while authors benefit from seamless and global dissemination of their work.
BJA is ranked No. 1 among anaesthesiology journals with an Impact Factor of 6.238, according to the 2016 Journal Citation Reports.
