Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have announced a publishing partnership for the journal - European Journal of Heart Failure. The journal is the fifth title from the ESC Journal Family to join Oxford Journals. The journal is published 12 times a year and will be freely available online for the first three months of 2009.
The European Journal of Heart Failure, published on behalf of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC, seeks to advance knowledge in the field of heart failure management. The journal publishes original articles, short reports, reviews and editorials on molecular and cellular biology, pathology, electrophysiology, and pharmacology, as well as the clinical, social, and population sciences.
As a result of this partnership, authors will benefit from manuscript sharing within the ESC Journal Family during the review process and also faster production times of under 4 weeks. The European Journal of Heart Failure offers optional open access through the Oxford Open initiative, which allows authors to pay for their research to be freely available online immediately at point of publication.
