JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY

The Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), identified by ISSN 0735-1097, is a preeminent peer-reviewed publication in the field of cardiology, published by Elsevier in the United States. As a weekly journal, it serves as a leading venue for high-impact original research and clinical practice guidelines, encompassing a broad spectrum of cardiovascular topics including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertension, and interventional cardiology. Recognized for its rigorous editorial standards and scientific integrity, JACC is indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and consistently ranks within the top tier of medical journals, typically classified in the first or second quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking system. While the journal operates on a hybrid model that offers partial open access options, it maintains a highly competitive submission process with a notable rejection rate, reflecting its status as an authoritative source for research that significantly influences both clinical practice and cardiovascular science.
