The International Journal of Anesthesia (IJAN) serves as a premier platform for disseminating high-quality scientific research that advances the field of anesthesiology. We publish peer-reviewed original research, systematic reviews, and innovative studies that explore the fundamental mechanisms, pharmacology, physiology, and technological innovations underlying anesthetic practice.

Our mission is to bridge laboratory science with perioperative care through evidence-based research that informs safe, effective anesthetic techniques and device development worldwide.

About IJAN

Published by Open Access Pub, IJAN provides a rigorous, transparent platform for researchers, scientists, and medical professionals to share discoveries that shape anesthesiology's scientific foundation. As an open access journal operating under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, we ensure global accessibility to cutting-edge anesthesia research without barriers.

Our editorial process emphasizes scientific rigor, ethical integrity, and methodological excellence. Every manuscript undergoes thorough single-blind peer review by experts in anesthetic pharmacology, physiology, and related biomedical disciplines. We maintain strict adherence to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines and employ advanced plagiarism detection to preserve research integrity.

IJAN is indexed and abstracted in leading academic databases including Google Scholar, Scilit, ResearchBib, SciSpace, CiteFactor, and CrossRef, ensuring maximum visibility and impact for published research. Our commitment to rapid publication — with an average submission-to-online publication time of under 25 days — helps researchers disseminate time-sensitive findings efficiently.
