Please note: As of April 15th, 2024, we have temporarily stopped accepting case submissions. Cases that have been previously submitted will continue through the usual peer review process.
Here at EM Sim Cases we have published many cases from the simulation education community. Published cases are tried and tested simulation cases that meet the following:
- Clear objectives
- Case design and flow that enables the objectives
- Sound medical content
- Reviewed for equity, diversity and inclusivity concerns
The Requirements
We only publish cases formatted using the standardized EM Sim Cases Template.
Along with the case, a cover page with the following information is required for consideration of publication.
- Author(s): Name, role, institution
- Author(s) bio
- Author conflicts of interest
- Case summary (100 words max)
- Why this case matters (100 words max)
- How you have used and revised the case over time (100 words max)
The Process
Once a case has been received, the editor-in-chief reviews the case with a decision on whether the case meets the basic requirements to begin the publication process.
If a case is selected for publication, it will then be sent to two of our editors for peer-review. The case may be accepted immediately or returned to the authors for revisions and resubmission. Once all suggested revisions have been satisfied, the case will then be queued for publication on EM Sim Cases (with due credit of course)!
