The Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine--grown up at last

From being a national, humble magazine directed to anaesthesiologists working in the Norwegian air ambulance service, the journal has developed to being a peer-reviewed, international journal directed at all health professionals involved in pre- and in-hospital emergency medicine, critical care and trauma management. Today, SJTREM is the official journal of The Scandinavian Networking Group on Trauma and Emergency Management (SCANTEM) [2], and 9 more societies involved in trauma, resuscitation, and emergency medicine in Scandinavia. The authors hold copyright for their work and grant anyone the right to reproduce and disseminate the article provided that it is correctly cited, in accordance with BioMed Central's open access license agreement [3]. Besides PubMed Central, the journal's articles are archived in repositories at the University of Potsdam in Germany, at INIST in France and in e-Depot, the National Library of the Netherlands' digital archive of all electronic publications.
