The number of submissions to Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) has increased continually to the point where we now reject more than 80 % of the manuscripts submitted. The ICM editors do their best to select for publication those articles that are the absolute best because they:
1.
Have a clinical message that changes the practice of ICU clinicians caring for patients at the bedside,
2.
Add significantly to existing knowledge,
3.
Are properly registered and comply fully with the relevant regulations,
4.
Have a study design and methodology that enable authors to draw valid conclusions (i.e. minimal or no risk of bias).
