TPPM

Aim and Scope

The aim of Translational Perioperative and Pain Medicine (TPPM) is to publish high quality and innovative peer–reviewed articles that can potentially improve patient care and safety in the perioperative and pain medicine fields.

TPPM is interested in publishing work related to innovative ideas, new medication development and applications, and new technologies for improving patient care and safety in the perioperative period and in pain management. TPPM welcomes manuscripts from low- and middle-income countries to help them develop innovative ways to help patients with limited resources.

Open Access

TPPM applies the Creative Commons Attribution License to all papers published in the journal. Under the CCAL, authors retain the copyright for their article and allow anyone to download, reuse, reprint, modify, and distribute as long as the authors of the original papers and the Translational Perioperative and Pain Medicine are cited. No written or verbal permission is needed from the authors or TRANSPOPMED.

Peer-Review

The quality of the work will be reviewed by the experts in the field who has no conflict of interests with the authors or the author's work.
