Calling now for original research submissions

Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine is pleased to announce the launch of a new Clinical Research section. We are now welcoming submissions from any area of cardiology and we're interested in the following types of papers:

• Randomized, controlled trials
• Systematic reviews/meta-analyses
• Observational studies
• Epidemiological studies
• Translational studies

The original research papers that we publish are focused, although not exclusively, on three main categories:

• the development of new technologies or methodologies that improve understanding of cardiovascular disease or impact on diagnosis or management;
• new information on clinical outcomes and economics from clinical trials;
• new approaches to promote cardiovascular health.

Why do we need original research in Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine?

“Our goal is to serve the community of clinical cardiologists and demand for this expansion has come from its members. By adding outstanding original clinical research to the latest review content, we can provide everything a busy cardiologist needs to keep up to date with advances in the field. Feedback from our contributors and readers has told us that they want a journal that not only provides timely and succinct analysis of recent advances to ease reading workload, but that they also want original research of the highest quality. We agree and aim to satisfy that demand.” Valentin Fuster, EiC, MD, PhD

What makes us different?

Nature Publishing Group (NPG) is dedicated to serving the academic, professional scientific and medical communities. NPG's flagship title, Nature, is the world's most highly-cited weekly multidisciplinary journal and was first published in 1869. Other publications include Nature research journals, Nature Reviews, and a range of prestigious academic and society-owned journals.

The field of cardiology is very fast-moving and there is an immense amount of research published each week. Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine will present only well-chosen, robust research and it will review the rest. Filtering is key - we filter all the research published each week by scanning the literature and reviewing salient issues, and will filter our original research submissions in order that we only provide strong clinically-relevant papers.

Maximise the visibility and impact of your research by submitting to Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine and have your work published in our Clinical Research section!
