The journal of the ICF is an open access journal which publishes full length articles, reviews, and editorials on cardiovascular and cardiometabolic health and disease. Opinion pieces, commentaries, and letters to the editor are also welcomed. The journal features an exceptionally fast reviewing process of approximately 3 weeks to final decision. The ICF journal has an internationally renowned Editorial Board and experienced associate editors.
To support open access and allow us to make our research findings available to the physicians and researchers of the world we will not charge for access to our publications. The journal will be funded by a publication charge for each article accepted after thorough scientific peer review. In addition, article processing fee 100 Euro will be applied to all submitted articles. This fee will be credited against the full publication charge for accepted manuscripts
Full publication charges: 1200 Euro
The editors reserve the right to waive publication charges for selected invited editorials and reviews. Affiliated national societies may subsidize or support the full cost of publishing accepted papers from their society members and/or national communities by prior negotiation
