Starting in 2008, articles published in Cardiovascular Research will appear in a new format. This change coincides with the Journal's being published by a new publisher, Oxford University Press, which is also home to two other journals of the European Society of Cardiology, the European Heart Journal and Europace. The new look will be apparent both in print and online: in the printed issue and in downloaded PDF files, you will see a new (modern) typeface and grey boxes highlighting keywords and tables; online, the Journal will be available on the popular HighWire platform also used by the European Heart Journal, Circulation Research, Circulation, the American Journal of Physiology, PNAS, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Blood, Hypertension, ATVB and other journals interesting to our readers. This means that while reading a CVR article online, you can link to other relevant papers within the realm of cardiovascular sciences through the reference list, many of them ‘toll-free’ owing to their being in the HighWire pool of journals. There are also links to Medline and ISI, which gives citation data. Furthermore, figures can be exported to PowerPoint at the click of a button, which can be useful for putting together talks or as a teaching aid.
Cardiovascular Research articles will continue to be posted online less than one week after acceptance by the Journal's editorial team. Articles in press are now available on Oxford's Advance Access website within the HighWire platform at http://cardiovascres.oxfordjournals.org/papbyrecent.dtl. Articles will appear in PubMed shortly following proof correction. Our new policy dictates that the full text of CVR articles will become freely available within 12 months of publication in print.
Also new for 2008, our authors are being offered for the first time the choice of publishing their accepted articles in the open access model. Interested authors can obtain more information at the Oxford Open website http://www.oxfordjournals.org/oxfordopen/.
Finally, we are pleased to add a good number of new names to our Board of Consulting Editors for 2008–2009. Many of these individuals have been hard-working reviewers for the Journal over the past few years and we are happy to honour them with a place on the Board. With this expanded team, these new developments, and our new look, we hope to better serve our authors and readers in 2008 and in the years to come.
