1. Journal of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine (JAPM) is an international peer-reviewed open-access journal that will be begun in September 2014 from China. JAMP is dedicated to bring clinical anesthesiologists the best research and key information in all fields of anesthesiology on the basis of scientific accuracy, novelty, and importance. Professors Jin Liu and Tian-Long Wang are the Co-Editors-in-Chief of JAMP. For full information please check: website at www.japmnet.com. The goal of JAMP is to be collected by SCI in 3 -5 years.
