International Journal of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine

Author Guidlines

To submit a new manuscript authors should use the online submission system. Authors may submit their manuscript via online tracking system through Online Submission System

Policy

International Journal of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine publishes original research articles of outstanding medical importance. We will consider manuscripts of any length; we encourage the submission of both substantial full-length bodies of work and shorter manuscripts that report novel findings that might be based on a more limited range of experiments.

The writing style should be concise and accessible, avoiding jargon so that the paper is understandable for readers outside a specialty or those whose first language is not English. Editors will make suggestions for how to achieve this, as well as suggestions for cuts or additions that could be made to the article to strengthen the argument. Our aim is to make the editorial process rigorous and consistent, but not intrusive or overbearing. Authors are encouraged to use their own voice and to decide how best to present their ideas, results, and conclusions. Although we encourage submissions from around the globe, we require that manuscripts be submitted in English. Authors who do not use English as a first language may contact us for additional information. As a step towards overcoming language barriers on acceptance of the paper, we encourage authors fluent in other languages to provide copies of their full articles or abstracts in other languages. We will publish these translations as supporting information and list them, together with other supporting information files, at the end of the article text.

This top best scholarly journal is using Editorial Manager- System for online manuscript submission, review and tracking. Editorial board members of the Nanotechnology: Open Access or outside experts review manuscripts; at least two independent reviewer’s approval followed by the editor is required for the acceptance of any citable manuscript.

Article Processing Charges (APC):

Publishing with open access is not without costs. A journal defrays those costs from article-processing charges (APCs) payable by authors once the manuscript has been accepted for publication. We do not have subscription charges for its research content, believing instead that immediate, world-wide, barrier-free, open access to the full text of research articles is in the best interests of the scientific community.  

Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 45 days

The basic article processing fee or manuscript handling cost is as per the price mentioned above on the other hand it may vary based on the extensive editing, colored effects, complex equations, extra elongation of no. of pages of the article, etc.

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):

International Journal of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.

The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.

Withdrawal Policy: In case of withdrawal of article after 7 days of initial submission due to any unavoidable reason, a minimum handling fee would be applicable which would be equivalent to 40% of complete APC (Article Processing Charges).

Types of contribution

Original Article papers (Full Paper and Short Communication)

Review articles

Article types accepted are: Original Article (Full paper or Short Communication), Review Article.

Page limits are as follows: Full paper no limit; Short Communication 7 page plus not more than 4 figures/tables in total. If the Editor feels that a paper submitted as a Full Paper would be more appropriate for the Short Communications section, then a shortened version will be requested. References should be limited to 50 for Full Papers and Reviews, 20 for Short Communication. An abstract not exceeding one paragraph of 250 words should appear at the beginning of each Article. The recommended page limit for Review Papers is 30 pages.

Submission of Manuscripts

Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission also implies that all authors have approved the paper for publication and are in agreement with its content. Upon acceptance of the article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.

Preparation of Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be written in English.

Manuscripts should be prepared with numbered lines, with wide margins and single space throughout, i.e. also for abstracts, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Underline words that should be in italics, and do not underlin6e any other words. Avoid excessive use of italics to emphasize part of the text.

Manuscripts in general should be organized in the following order:

• Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long)
• Name(s) of author(s)
• Complete postal address (es) of affiliations
• Full telephone, Fax number and E-mail of the corresponding author
• Present address (es) of author(s) if applicable
• Complete correspondence address to which the proofs should be sent
• Abstract
• Keywords (indexing terms), normally 3-6 items
• Introduction
• Material studied, area descriptions, methods, techniques
• Results and Discussion
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgements and any additional information concerning research grants, etc.
• References
• Tables
• Figure captions

Abstracts

The abstract should be clear, descriptive and not longer than 250 words.

Tables

1. Authors should take notice of the limitations set by the size and lay-out of the journal. Large tables should be avoided. Reversing columns and rows will often reduce the dimensions of a table.
2. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two or more tables.
3. Drawn tables, from which prints need to be made, should not be folded.
4. Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all tables.
5. Each table should be typewritten on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
6. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
7. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
8. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.
9. Any explanation essential to the understanding of the table should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
