Anesthesiology Open offers new opportunities to publish quality research
An online publication joins the specialty’s most esteemed scientific journal to help expand quality research and investigation.
Activities related to the journal Anesthesiology are highlights of every annual meeting. ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025, however, will be particularly memorable for the journal as the meeting coincides with the launch of Anesthesiology Open — the new peer-reviewed, online, open access journal published by Wolters Kluwer.
Anesthesiology leadership and staff have been busy in San Antonio spreading the word about the new publication, which will offer an expanded platform for original investigations, research letters, reviews, focal points, letters to the editor, and expert editorials.
The publication will be led by Executive Editor Yandong Jiang, MD, PhD, who currently serves as Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care, and Pain Medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston. Dr. Jiang has a long history with Anesthesiology, serving as an Associate Editor for four years and Editor for eight years.
“This is a fabulous opportunity for anesthesiologist researchers to share their work with a global audience,” said Dr. Jiang. “We look forward to promoting scientific discovery and the dissemination of knowledge in anesthesiology and its subspecialties to advance patient care.”
Anesthesiology Open introduces a unique section called Innovation in Practice that will illustrate novel solutions to compelling issues in anesthesiology, perioperative care, critical care, and pain management. Innovation in Practice articles might include concepts for new technologies, new ideas related to existing technology, or organizational change.
Notably, Anesthesiology Open will become the dedicated home of select future ASA statements and expert consensus documents.
On the Anesthesiology Open Editorial Board, Dr. Jiang is joined by a statistical editor team (Subhash Aryal, PhD, and Snehalata Huzurbazar, PhD) and a growing number of Associate Editors. To date, Associate Editors include Thomas Heidegger, MD, Alan Jay Schwartz, MD, MSEd, Jamie W. Sleigh, MD, and Dong-Xin Wang, MD, PhD.
Manuscripts can be submitted for consideration on the submission page of the Anesthesiology Open website. Please contact the journal team at [email protected] with questions or comments.
