ANAESTHESIST

The Anaesthelist, identified by ISSN 0003-2417, is a peer-reviewed monthly journal published by Springer Medizin Verlag in Germany that serves as a dedicated platform for international research in the field of anesthesia. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and classified within the medical category of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking, typically occupying the third or fourth quartile, the publication maintains an impact factor ranging approximately between 1.5 and 2.0. As a subscription-based journal rather than an open-access one, it publishes rigorous studies spanning both fundamental and clinical aspects of anesthesiology, with a particular emphasis on perioperative management, pain therapy, intensive care, and pharmacology, while notably highlighting research contributions from the European region. Although the journal holds established recognition within the specialty, its moderate impact factor and relatively high rejection rates, coupled with strict language requirements for non-native English speakers, present specific challenges for authors. Consequently, The Anaesthelist is well-suited for mid-career researchers in anesthesiology who seek a reputable venue for disseminating their work, provided they carefully weigh the journal’s academic standing against the competitive submission process and potential delays in publication.
