Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiolgy

What Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiolgy does

The Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology (BJA) is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal founded in 1951 and published by the Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia (SBA), the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology. The journal serves anesthesiologists, perioperative medicine researchers, and medical professionals globally, publishing original research, review articles, case reports, and editorials. Content is distributed open-access under a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license, with full-text availability through SciELO and Elsevier's Science Direct platform, and is indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, Embase, and Web of Science.

The journal operates an editorial workflow on Elsevier's Editorial Manager submission system under the direction of an Editor-in-Chief (Liana Maria Tôrres de Araújo Azi, appointed 2025) and is supported by a staff of approximately 10 employees based in São Paulo, Brazil. As a society-owned scholarly publication, its revenue mechanics rest on article processing charges paid by authors under the open-access model, supplemented by institutional support from the SBA rather than reader subscriptions. The organization sits within a nonprofit professional society structure rather than a commercial publishing entity.

In recent years, BJA has begun diversifying beyond its print and online article core. A webinar series launched in 2025 extended the publication into live continuing-education programming, and a 2026 call for papers for a special issue signals thematic content curation as a growth lever. Despite its Brazilian affiliation, the journal's indexing footprint and open-access model give it a global readership spanning Portuguese, Spanish, and English-speaking medical communities.

Direct peers

• Anesthesiology (ASA Journal): The flagship peer-reviewed journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, publishing original research in anesthesiology, perioperative medicine, and critical care. Directly comparable as a society-owned, English-language specialty journal indexed in PubMed/Scopus, but with a much larger international audience.
• Anesthesia & Analgesia: Official journal of the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS), publishing clinical and basic science research in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine. Directly comparable in scope, format, and editorial ambition, serving a global physician audience.
• Anaesthesia (Association of Anaesthetists journal): Monthly journal of the Association of Anaesthetists, covering anesthesia, critical care, and pain. Directly comparable as a society-owned, peer-reviewed specialty journal with global reach and indexed databases overlapping BJAN's.
• British Journal of Anaesthesia: Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, BJA is one of the highest-impact anesthesiology journals globally. Comparable as a society-affiliated, peer-reviewed anesthesiology journal with broad international indexing and bimonthly or monthly publication cadence.
• European Journal of Anaesthesiology: Published by Wolters Kluwer on behalf of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Comparable as a society-affiliated European anesthesiology journal indexed in PubMed/Scopus, competing for the same author and reader pool as BJAN in regional and international segments.
• Journal of Clinical Anesthesia: Elsevier-published anesthesiology journal focused on clinical practice. Comparable as a peer-reviewed specialty journal with similar scope (anesthesia, perioperative care, pain), but distributed by a major commercial publisher rather than a medical society.
• Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine: Official journal of the French Society of Anesthesia & Intensive Care (SFAR), published by Elsevier. Comparable as a society-affiliated European anesthesiology journal with multilingual reach and similar indexing footprint to BJAN.
• Canadian Journal of Anesthesia: Published by Springer on behalf of the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society. Comparable as a national-society-affiliated anesthesiology journal, indexed in PubMed/Scopus, with bilingual considerations (French/English) similar to BJAN's Portuguese/English approach.

Regional players

• Indian Journal of Anaesthesia: Official journal of the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists, published by Wolters Kluwer. Comparable as a society-affiliated national anesthesiology journal from a large emerging market, but serving Indian authors/readers rather than the Brazilian/Latin American audience BJAN primarily targets.
• Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación: Official journal of the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SEDAR), published by Elsevier. Comparable as a Spanish-language, society-affiliated national anesthesiology journal serving Iberian and Latin American readers; an indirect competitor for Spanish/Portuguese-speaking authors.
