Aims (old version):

Emergency Care and Medicine (ISSN: 2813-7914) is an open-access journal that publishes rigorously peer-reviewed articles on emergency pre-hospital and hospital medicine, acute internal medicine, and acute care surgery. These include comprehensive and brief reports of original research and their protocols, reviews, rare case reports, clinical guidelines, editorials, viewpoints, commentaries on accepted papers, letters to the editor, and high-quality patient information, but other article types are also considered. 

We require scientists and medical practitioners to publish the methods, results, and findings of their research and audits in as much detail as possible, and, therefore, there are no restrictions on the maximum length of papers. The studies must adhere to the FAIR principles to ensure that results can be reproduced. Papers providing new insights into specific populations will receive special consideration. To enhance the quality and transparency of studies and publications, we recommend adhering to the reporting guidelines available at EQUATOR Reporting Guidelines (further information is provided in Types of Publications).
