High quality peer review • All manuscripts are subject to peer review, ensuring a balanced, scientific publication of high quality and educational value.
Fast publication • We aim to deliver printed copies within 12 weeks of receipt of the final manuscript.

Meeting abstract supplements to Critical Care
Publishing meeting abstracts as a supplement to Critical Care offers the following benefits:
Publication • Publication can take place prior to the meeting, with printed copies supplied for distribution to delegates. The journal also accepts abstracts for publication after a meeting has taken place, as a record of the proceedings.
Free online access • All supplements are published online where abstracts are accessible free of charge both as searchable text and in printable PDF format. No subscription is payable and no registration is necessary to access the abstracts.
Printed copies • Printed copies can be supplied for distribution to delegates at the meeting. Since all abstracts are free online, we do not insist that organizers pay to supply printed copies to subscribers, helping to reduce your costs.
Editorial process • BioMed Central carries out an editorial check on all submitted abstracts to ensure that there are no major errors or omissions.
Customization • Online supplements can carry identical information to the print edition, such as meeting faculty details, acknowledgements of sponsorship, meeting organizer names and further information relevant to the supplement or the conference. In addition, links to the conference website can be included.
PubMed listing • Meeting abstracts are included in PubMed, displayed only by the title of the supplement. Individual abstracts are not indexed by PubMed.
