Modify the title of your submission

[tompollard]

We must ask that you modify the title of your submission in order to bring it in line with the style and standards of the journal. We do not permit the use of colons or parentheses in titles as these are reserved to denote specific article types (e.g. corrigenda) and for the purposes of clarity we prefer to avoid the use of acronyms. With these guidelines in mind we would like to suggest the following alternative:

"MIMIC-III, a public access database of critical medical care from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center"

The full definition of the acronym can be included in the abstract. Please feel free, though, to suggest another alternative that you feel well-represents this dataset and fits our formatting standards.

The title of the original submission was: Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III): the public access critical care database.

So a similar title without the colon is: Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III), a freely accessible critical care database. Unless anyone has a better suggestion, I'll go with this.
