INJURY-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE CARE OF THE INJURED

Injury: International Journal of the Care of the Injured (ISSN 0020-1383) is a peer-reviewed, monthly academic journal published by Elsevier in the Netherlands, dedicated to advancing the science and practice of trauma care. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal maintains a solid reputation in the medical field, typically holding an impact factor between 2.5 and 3.0 and ranking within the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal classification. Its scope encompasses a wide array of topics within trauma surgery, emergency medicine, orthopedic injuries, trauma nursing, and rehabilitation, featuring original clinical research, case reports, and comprehensive reviews. While the journal is known for its rigorous peer-review process and high editorial standards, it serves a specialized audience, which may result in a competitive submission environment and potentially longer publication timelines. Consequently, Injury stands as a vital platform for researchers and clinicians seeking to disseminate high-quality findings and stay abreast of the latest developments in the international trauma community.
