Manuscript Sharing

ESC Journal Family Manuscript sharing


Oxford Journals and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have introduced a new facility of sharing manuscripts among all seven ESC journals. Authors submitting to the flagship journal European Heart Journal (EHJ), will, where appropriate, be given the option for their manuscript to be considered by the relevant sub-specialty journal when EHJ is unable to accept their manuscript for publication. The EHJ receives roughly 3,500 manuscripts annually and is able to accept only 15% of those submitted.

Once authors agree for their manuscript to be shared within the ESC Journal Family, there will be no need for re-submission and any reviewer comments will also be shared, resulting in a reduced time to a decision.

In addition to EHJ there are six further journals in the family, which have associated impact factors* and are the leading European journals in their fields, these are:

Cardiovascular Research

EP-Europace

The European Journal of Echocardiography

The European Journal of Heart Failure

The European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing

The European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation

* European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing is due to receive its first impact factor in 2011.
