Aims & Scope

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental (ICMx) is a peer-reviewed open access journal dedicated to basic, translational and experimental research relating to all facets of critical illness. Led by a prestigious board of committed Editors, the journal ensures high standards of academic excellence and integrity. The journal encourages high-quality submissions with the aim of being the focal point for publishing experimental research in the specialty. ICMx publishes research ranging from laboratory investigations through to patient studies. In the latter case, the emphasis must be on experimental research relating to mechanism, drug effect or pathophysiology, rather than clinical trials. ICMx cooperates with its sister journal, Intensive Care Medicine, which will focus solely on clinical research.
