Critical Ultrasound Journal (CUJ)

The Critical Ultrasound Journal is an international, peer-reviewed open-access medical journal dedicated to research and clinical applications of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in emergency medicine, critical care, anesthesia, and intensive care settings. It publishes original research articles, clinical studies, reviews, case reports, and guidelines related to diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound use in critically ill patients. The journal is the official publication of the World Interactive Network Focused on Critical Ultrasound (WINFOCUS) and has played an important role in advancing bedside ultrasound practices worldwide. It emphasizes fast clinical decision-making using ultrasound imaging in emergency and critical care environments. The journal was first launched in 2009 and was published by Springer-Verlag Italia (Springer Nature group). It followed an open-access model and contributed significantly to ultrasound-based emergency diagnostics. However, it is important to note that the journal is now no longer actively indexed in Scopus after 2019, and it has transitioned/been continued under related ultrasound journal structures. It uses a continuous or triannual publication model, depending on the publication phase during its active years.
