Swiss open-access publisher Frontiers, part of the Nature Publishing Group family, is pleased to announce the launch of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, a new open-access medical journal.
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine will publish peer-reviewed articles on the diagnosis, treatment, and pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease that help to advance medical education and to improve clinical practice and patient care.
"Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine provides unrestricted access to the most current and clinically relevant information to clinicians, health professionals, and medical educators, reaching every country in the world. I am confident that the journal will become a key knowledge resource for cardiovascular medicine," says Chief Editor Matthias Barton, MD, of the University of Zürich in Switzerland. "With each discipline led by renowned clinician-scientists as Chief Editors with their own editorial board of experts, we can ensure independent, high-quality and fast review of every manuscript received," adds Barton.
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine will provide unrestricted and global online access to all articles, published under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license. The Frontiers Interactive Peer Review will enable authors, reviewers and editors to directly and collaboratively engage in a Review Forum, ensuring a rigorous and objective review, and fast publication. Reviewer names are disclosed on articles to enhance transparency. Frontiers advanced article impact metrics track the reach and impact of articles, and the community can engage in post-publication review.
