Open access publisher BioMed Central has announced Journal of Intensive Care, a new open access journal published by BioMed Central.
As the official publication of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine, this new journal marks a significant development in the field, as it is the first open access English-language journal published on the subject from the Asia and Pan-Pacific region.
The journal aims to publish articles on trauma and surgical intensive care, paediatric intensive care, acute and emergency medicine, perioperative care medicine, resuscitation, infection control and organ dysfunction.
Many topics from this growing field of patient care are represented in the first issue, including articles about ventilator-associated pneumonia diagnosis, intravenous immunoglobulin efficacy for sepsis, and on arbekacin treatment of a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas infection.
Journal of Intensive Care is a new addition to the company's growing portfolio of critical and intensive care journals, and is supported by an expert Editorial Board. The Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine covers the publication costs for all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
