Aims and scope

Signa Vitae is a completely open-access，peer-reviewed journal dedicate to deliver the leading edge research in anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine to publics. The journal’s intention is to be practice-oriented, so we focus on the clinical practice and fundamental understanding of adult, pediatric and neonatal intensive care, as well as anesthesia and emergency medicine.

Although Signa Vitae is primarily a clinical journal, we welcome submissions of basic science papers if the authors can demonstrate their clinical relevance. The Signa Vitae journal encourages scientists and academicians all around the world to share their original writings in the form of original research, review, mini-review, systematic review, short communication, case report, letter to the editor, commentary, rapid report, news and views, as well as meeting report. Full texts of all published articles, can be downloaded for free from our web site.

The journal of Signa Vitae has been assigned the Impact Factor of 0.338. This fact is clear evidence that we are on the right path in achieving our vision, and hereby we would like to thank those of you who have so far contributed to the project and made this possible at a very early stage.

The vision of Signa Vitae is to be the leading journal in intensive care and emergency medicine by the year 2025.
