Anaesthesia is the official journal of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland and is international in scope and comprehensive in coverage. It publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of general and regional anaesthesia, intensive care and pain therapy, including research on equipment. The average time from submission to decision is an astonishing 14 days, and time from full acceptance to publication, is on average, under 3 months. Anaesthesia has a very high immediacy factor - this means that articles are cited very quickly after publication, increasing the relevancy of published articles to the anaesthesia community.
