The Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis (ISSN 1340-3478) is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal published in Japan by the Japan Atherosclerosis Society, dedicated to advancing the understanding of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and related cardiovascular pathologies. With a current impact factor of approximately 3.5, the journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and typically ranks in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal categories for medical sciences. Its scope encompasses both fundamental and clinical research into lipid metabolism, vascular biology, and cardiovascular disease management, with a distinctive emphasis on epidemiological trends and therapeutic innovations within Asian populations. As a hybrid publication that is not fully open access, the journal maintains rigorous editorial standards and a competitive selection process, requiring submissions to demonstrate significant methodological rigor and scientific novelty. Consequently, it serves as a reputable venue for researchers in the cardiovascular field seeking to disseminate high-quality studies that bridge basic mechanisms and clinical applications, particularly those addressing the unique challenges of atherosclerotic and thrombotic disorders in diverse global contexts.
