ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Critical Care and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Pulmonary Receive Indexation With Scopus
April 4, 2025
Glenview, IL – The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½® (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½) announced that ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½® Critical Care and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½® Pulmonary, both part of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½® journal portfolio, received approval for indexation with Elsevier’s Scopus.
Launched in 2023, both ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Critical Care and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Pulmonary provide open access content in the fields of pulmonary and critical care medicine. The journals received indexation from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in 2024, and this additional indexation is expected to increase the visibility, accessibility, usage, and impact of the scholarly research journals.
“It’s an honor to have the journals accepted for indexation in Scopus, one of the world’s leading abstract and citation databases,” said Hayley Gershengorn, MD, Editor in Chief of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Critical Care. “This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our editorial team, the rigor of our peer-review process, and the high-quality research contributed by our authors.”
Every year, thousands of new titles are suggested for inclusion in Scopus, but only 33% of those titles meet the rigorous technical criteria. Of those roughly 1,200 titles, only 50% are accepted after review by the independent Content Selection Advisory Board. More than 5,500 of the peer-reviewed titles on Scopus are full open access titles.
“Seeing both indexation from the DOAJ and Scopus happen so quickly after launch is incredibly encouraging for the future of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ journals,” said Matthew Miles, MD, FCCP, Editor in Chief of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Pulmonary. “They are only going to grow from here, and we look forward to continuing to serve the academic community with impactful and innovative research.”
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Critical Care and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Pulmonary accept submissions of original research and case series. Each features an enhanced emphasis on medical decision-making, implementation science, health services delivery, quality improvement, cost-effectiveness analysis, policy reports, study design, and more.
