Scholars Digest: Journal of Anaesthesiology is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to the field of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine. It provides a platform for clinicians, researchers, educators, and healthcare policymakers to share cutting-edge insights, clinical studies, systematic reviews, case reports, and theoretical analyses that advance anesthetic practice and patient safety. The journal prioritizes contributions across the full spectrum of anesthesia: general, regional, cardiac, pediatric, obstetric, and pain management.
Aligned with the ethos of the Scholars Digest publication group, based in New Delhi, India, it adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process ensuring high standards of scientific validity, ethical compliance, and methodological quality. Manuscripts are evaluated for clarity, statistical robustness, clinical relevance, and ethical approval, including informed consent for human-subject research. The journal also integrates anti-plagiarism screening and adheres to archiving protocols via systems like LOCKSS and CLOCKSS.
A notable feature of this journal is its commitment to open-access publishing. All published articles are freely accessible under a Creative Commons license, enabling unrestricted global readership and scholarly exchange. Neither authors nor readers bear any fees, enhancing equity and broad dissemination. This model supports rapid sharing of knowledge, particularly valuable in a field where updates in anesthetic protocols and safety practices can have immediate life-saving impact.
Issues are typically released on a quarterly basis, aligned with rapid yet quality-controlled editorial workflows. This cadence allows timely publication of emerging anesthetic techniques, innovations in monitoring and analgesia, and critical care developments pertinent to perioperative care.
With a multilingual and interdisciplinary readership—including anesthesiologists, perioperative nurses, intensivists, pain specialists, and medical educators—the journal aims to influence clinical practice, training, and policy. By bridging the gap between research and bedside application, Scholars Digest: Journal of Anaesthesiology fosters evidence-based improvements in patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and perioperative safety. In doing so, it reinforces the vital role of anesthesia in modern healthcare and contributes to ongoing global health progress.
