Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open-access medical journal devoted to acute care, emergency medicine, and critical care research. The journal publishes original research, reviews, and guidelines that inform clinicians and policymakers across Europe and globally. It serves as a forum connecting clinical practice in emergency departments, prehospital care, and intensive care units with research from universities, hospitals, and professional societies.
The journal was established in the 1990s amid reform movements in European healthcare led by figures associated with Karolinska Institutet, University of Oslo, and Rigshospitalet. Early editorial leadership included contributors linked to European Resuscitation Council, Royal College of Surgeons of England, and Danish Society for Emergency Medicine. Over time its governance incorporated representatives from Norwegian Directorate of Health, Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, and multicenter collaborations tied to European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery. The journal expanded alongside developments such as the adoption of the Advanced Trauma Life Support program, the evolution of prehospital care systems in Scandinavia, and multinational trials involving networks based in Karolinska University Hospital, Akershus University Hospital, and Odense University Hospital.
The journal emphasizes clinical and translational research relevant to practitioners affiliated with emergency medicine departments at institutions like St Thomas' Hospital, Rigshospitalet, and Helsinki University Hospital. Topics commonly include trauma systems research linked to initiatives at National Institute for Health and Care Research, resuscitation science informed by European Resuscitation Council guidelines, and disaster medicine connected to planning efforts by World Health Organization Regional Offices. Contributions often intersect with research programs at Harvard Medical School, University of Cambridge, University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, and Karolinska Institutet. The journal publishes work on cardiac arrest management influenced by recommendations from American Heart Association, airway management strategies comparable to protocols from Royal College of Anaesthetists, and emergency surgery studies resonant with members of European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery.
The editorial board historically drew editors and reviewers from academic centers such as University of Oslo, University of Gothenburg, Uppsala University, and Queen Mary University of London. Publishing workflows have incorporated standards promoted by Committee on Publication Ethics and reporting guidelines from PRISMA and CONSORT. Production partnerships involved publishers and platforms connected to BioMed Central and other open-access venues favored by researchers at Wellcome Trust funded institutions. Peer review has been conducted by experts affiliated with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Massachusetts General Hospital, St George's Hospital, and national trauma registries including Trauma Audit Research Network.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic databases used by clinicians at PubMed Central, researchers at Scopus, and librarians at Web of Science. Metadata is made available to consortia including CrossRef and institutional repositories at Karolinska Institutet University Library and Uppsala University Library. Abstracting services used by members of European Society for Emergency Medicine and International Federation for Emergency Medicine facilitate discoverability for trials registered with entities like ClinicalTrials.gov and systematic reviews catalogued by Cochrane Collaboration.
The journal's articles have been cited in guideline documents from the European Resuscitation Council and policy briefs produced by regional health authorities such as Norwegian Institute of Public Health and Swedish Public Health Agency. Its impact on clinical practice is evident in citations by authors at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and research networks including NETSCC-affiliated groups. Reception in academic communities has been reflected in symposia at conferences like the European Congress of Emergency Medicine, the International Conference on Emergency Medicine, and meetings of the Trauma Society.
Notable contributions include multicenter studies on prehospital airway techniques comparing practices in Helsinki University Hospital and Odense University Hospital, randomized trials in post-resuscitation care with collaborators from Massachusetts General Hospital and University of Cambridge, and systematic reviews on trauma triage that informed protocols at Rigshospitalet and Akershus University Hospital. Reviews addressing sepsis recognition have been cited by panels including members from Society of Critical Care Medicine and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, while methodological papers on registry-based research drew on data from Trauma Audit Research Network and national registries maintained by Norwegian Directorate of Health.
The journal operates under open-access principles used by funders such as Wellcome Trust and Research Council of Norway, applying licenses compatible with Creative Commons frameworks. This model supports authors affiliated with institutions like Karolinska Institutet, University of Oslo, Aarhus University, and University of Copenhagen seeking compliance with mandates from agencies including Horizon Europe and national research councils. Institutional subscriptions and article processing charges have been managed in line with arrangements familiar to libraries at Uppsala University Library and consortia such as Sconul.
