CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH

Cardiovascular Research, identified by the ISSN 0008-6363, is a distinguished international monthly journal published by Oxford University Press in the United Kingdom that serves as a premier venue for high-impact cardiovascular science. As a fully indexed SCI journal, it consistently maintains a high impact factor and secures a top-tier position within the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking in the medical and cardiovascular fields, reflecting its strong reputation and rigorous peer-review standards. The journal’s scope encompasses both fundamental and clinical aspects of cardiovascular biology, with a particular emphasis on innovative mechanistic studies in myocardial biology, vascular physiology, metabolism, arrhythmias, and heart failure. While it operates under a hybrid publishing model that offers optional open access rather than full OA, the journal is known for its stringent editorial policies and high rejection rates, demanding exceptional rigor in experimental design and data integrity from its global audience of researchers and clinicians.
