Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of articles accepted for publication to the International Anesthesia Research Society. Authors and their typists should use the checklist given below for preparation of manuscripts as changes cannot be made to a manuscript once it has been received by the Editorial Office and has been sent out for review. General Information General articles describe clinical or laboratory investigations. Case reports describe either new and instructive cases, anesthetic techniques and equipment of demonstrable originality, usefulness, and safety, or new information on diseases of importance to anesthesia. Brief reports describe clinical or laboratory investigations that do not require the breadth of experimentation or support required by a general investigative article.
Technical communications describe instrumentation and analytic techniques.
Review articles collate, describe, and evaluate previously published material to aid in evaluating new concepts. Medical intelligence articles usually collate, describe, and evaluate previously published material to aid in evaluating new concepts or updating old concepts or topics germane to anesthesiology. Special articles describe literature, education, societies, and other topical interests of a historical or current trend in anesthesiology. Book and multimedia reviews report current literature in anesthesiology. Please send all books and multimedia for review directly to Norig Ellison, MD, Book Review Editor, Department of Anesthesia, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
