The practice of intensive care medicine crosses many medical specialties and disciplines ?anesthesiology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious disease, neonatology, nephrology, neurology, nursing, pediatrics, pharmacology, psychiatry, pulmonology, radiology, rheumatology, surgery, toxicology, transplantation, and trauma—and presents many complex and difficult challenges.
The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine is the only journal that offers all medical and surgical clinicians in adult and pediatric intensive care state-of-the-art, broad-based analytic reviews and updates, original articles, reports of large clinical series, techniques and procedures, topic-specific electronic resources, book reviews, and editorials on all aspects of intensive/critical/ coronary care.

Manuscript Preparation
·The manuscript is typed on white paper, 22 ?28 cm (8??11 in.), with margins of at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) at top, bottom, and both sides.
·Use double spacing.
·Arrange the manuscript with the following sections and begin each section on a separate page: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) key words, (4) text, (5) acknowledgments, (6) references, (7) glossary (if needed), (8) tables (each table on a separate page), (9) figures, and (10) legends.
·All pages should be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page, and the first author’s name, and the page number should be included in the upper right corner of each page.
·Abbreviated terms are spelled out at first use and followed with the abbreviation in parentheses. Avoid overuse of contrived abbreviations.
·Written permission to use nonoriginal material (quotations exceeding 100 words, any table or illustration) from both author and publisher of the original is included, and the source is credited in the manuscript. No article will be accepted as a submission to the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine without all required permissions.
·Title page: Include (1) the full title of the paper—short, clear, and specific; (2) authors?full names, (3) degrees and institutional affiliation of all authors; (4) name, address (including zip code), e-mail address, and phone number of all contributing authors; and (5) a running title of 3 or 4 words. Indicate which author to whom communications should go to regarding the manuscript and reprint requests.
·Abstract: Provide an article summary of 300 words or less.
·Key words: Include 4-5 key words.
·Text: In analytic reviews, sections on definition and incidence, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and treatment are appropriate.
·Grant and other acknowledgments: Specify support of any work discussed, by a grant or otherwise, as well as the meeting, if any, at which the paper was presented (including place and date).
·References: Doublespace references throughout, number them in the sequence in which they appear in the text, and identify them in text by superscript Arabic numerals. Accuracy and completeness of references are the author’s responsibility.
·References follow American Medical Association style. If there are more than 6 authors, the first 3 authors are used followed by “et al?including names and initials of all authors. Index Medicus abbreviations are used for journal titles, volume, inclusive page numbers, and year:
Journal: Mazze RI, Cousins MJ, Kosek JC. Strain differences in metabolism and susceptibility to the nephrotoxic effects of methoxyflurane in rats. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1973;184:481-488.
Book: Baston HC. An Introduction to Statistics in the Medical Services. Minneapolis, Minn: Burgess; 1956:110-114.
Chapter: Cohen PJ, Marshall BE. Effects of halothane on respiratory control in rat liver mitochondria. In: Fink BR, ed. Toxicity of Anesthetics. Baltimore, Md: Williams and Wilkins; 1968:24-36.
·Tables: Double space on pages separate from the text. Tables should not duplicate material text or illustrations.
·Legends: Credit for any previously published illustration must be given in the corresponding legend. All symbols should be explained in the legend.
Figure and Artwork Submission
All artwork must be supplied in camera-ready form. This includes not only charts and graphs, maps, photographs, and line art, but also tables with 17 or more columns, such as correlation matrix tables.
All artwork should be clean black-and-white originals, never photocopies. Laser-printed art is ideal. Artwork should be protected from marks and should not be folded or stapled. Each figure should appear on a separate sheet of white paper. It is the responsibility of the author to provide correct, final copies of the figures by the time the article is submitted to the publisher.
·Photographs. Photographs should be glossies or halftone prints (velox prints), rather than snapshots, and the contrast should be sharp for best reproduction. Slides and transparencies are not acceptable.
·Photographs of recognizable participants are accompanied by a signed release from the patient authorizing publication. Masking eyes to hide identity is not sufficient.
·Grayscale shading. Whenever possible, cross-hatching should be used in lieu of grayscale shading. If shading must be used, it should not exceed a 20% screen, and bold type must be used.
·Electronic copies of figures: Electronic submission of figures is encouraged when created in the following electronic formats:
TIFF (identified *.TIF) Tag Image File Format,
EPS (identified *.EPS) Encapsulated Postscript File,
JPEG (identified *.JPG) Joint Photographic Experts Group, and
The following graphic application file formats are supported:
Adobe Illustrator version 8.0 for PC,
Adobe Photoshop version 5.5 for PC, and
CorelDraw version 8 for PC.
·Naming and saving files. If you are submitting scanned art, please follow these guidelines:
Line art (black and white) should be scanned at 1200 ppi and 1 bit bitmap.
Grayscale images should be scanned at 350 ppi and 8 bit bitmap.
Please save each figure as its own file and do not include any extra text (ie, figure captions).
There are 4 requirements in file identification:
·platform (PC or Mac),
·application and version the file was created in (ie, Illustrator 8.0.1),
·type of file it was saved or exported as (ie, .TIF, .EPS), and
?identification of figure by number (ie, file names should include the figure number; Figure 1).
When saving the file, be sure to embed the fonts into the file. There is no other way to ensure that the text in your art will remain as you intend.
·Sizing. Please save the image to the size of the final printed version with an allowance of not more than 10% larger. The camera-ready images that are submitted with your manuscript should be printed at the same size as the file is saved.
·Illustrations: Include 2 sets of unmounted, glossy, black-and-white photographic prints for each illustration, with a gummed label on the back of each giving the first author’s name, figure number, and an arrow indicating the top. Photocopies of the illustration(s) are attached to the other 2 copies of the manuscript. If possible, illustrations should be one column width (7.62 cm, or 3 in.) or full-page width (15.88 cm., or 6?in.).
·Color figures: Color figures that will enhance the article may be accepted for publication. Part of the reproduction and printing costs will be paid by the JCIM. The author must be prepared to pay a per page charge of $800 for the first illustration and $200 each for additional pieces on the same page, as well as for any special effects. Submit color prints carefully packed with the manuscript in a separate container or between 2 sheets of cardboard. If you choose to run color photographs in black and white, please keep in mind that it may be difficult to discern between colors when they are turned into grayscales.
