About the journal
The European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing is the International Journal of the European Society of Cardiology dedicated to the advancement of knowledge in the field of cardiovascular nursing: promoting evidence-based clinical practice.
The journal publishes original articles, short report reviews and editorials in order to improve the quality of nursing care for patients with cardiovascular disease. Original contributions on the broad field of cardiovascular nursing are welcome, including chronic and acute care, paediatric cardiology, grown up congenital heart disease, cardiac rehabilitation, primary and secondary prevention, heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, interventional cardiology, cardiac care, preventive cardiology, and vascular nursing.
Scientific contributions can be related to all aspects of care: education, research, patient care or organisational aspects. Additional contributions on epidemiology, physiology, pharmacology or psychology related to cardiovascular nursing are welcome.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts
Manuscripts are normally evaluated by three members from an international panel of reviewers. An editorial decision is normally taken within 28 days of receipt of a manuscript.
Preparation of manuscripts (for regular papers)
The manuscript should be typewritten on one side only of A4 paper, double spaced using 2.5 cm wide margins all round. The text is arranged as follows: (1) title page (2) abstract (3) keywords (4) introduction (5) methods (6) results (7) discussion (8) acknowledgment (9) references,(10) Figures and tables.
The maximum length for regular papers is 3,500 words.
Essential title page information
• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a "Present address" (or "Permanent address") may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
(2) Abstract. An abstract (maximum 250 words) should be typed double spaced on a separate page. It should be structured and include background, aims, methods and results and conclusion.
(3) Keywords. No more than 6 keywords are required.
(4) Introduction. This section should position the study with regard to objective, rationale and preceding work of other authors.
(5) Methods. This section should contain a statement that "The investigation conforms with the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki" (Br Med J 1964;ii:177). The methods section should be sufficiently detailed for repetition of the study by other scientists. If pertinent, the section may be divided into headed subsections.
(6) Results. If pertinent, the section may be divided into headed subsections. For presentation of data, figures are preferred to tables. Data should not be presented in both figures and tables. Also, extensive numerical data should appear in legends to the figures rather than in the main body of text. SI units should be used.
(7) Discussion. This section should deal with topics that are beyond the scope of the study, compare and interpret the data with regard to previous work by (other) authors.
(8) Acknowledgment.
(9) References.

Abstract: Like regular paper, but add (Abstract) at end.
(10) Figures/Tables. Figures should be designed in a way compatible with reproduction of one column width. Figures over two columns should be kept to a minimum. Tables should not contain data not mentioned in the text. Laser prints of good quality are sufficient for graphs and tables. Glossy prints are needed for micrographs, etc. Colour printing is at the author's cost. Figure legends should start on a new page of the manuscript, but one page may contain legends to more than one figure.
Short Reports These reports should not exceed 2,000 words and should consist of:
- background section
- abstract
- methods
- results
- conclusion
The (maximum number of) 2,000 words may be allocated as you consider appropriate. The editorial team reserves the right to decide which tables/figures submitted are necessary.
Randomized Controlled Trials
Randomized controlled trials should be presented according to the CONSORT guidelines http://www.consort-statement.org. At manuscript submission, authors must provide the CONSORT checklist accompanied with a flow diagram that illustrates the progress of patients through the trial, including recruitment, enrollment, randomization, withdrawal and completion, and a detailed description of the randomization procedure. The CONSORT checklist and template flow diagram can be found on http://www.consort-statement.org. Manuscripts that fail to comply with CONSORT guidelines will not be reviewed for publication.
Manuscripts will not be returned unless a specific request is made at the time of first submission. A covering letter should include a declaration that "the manuscript, or part of it, has neither been published (except in the form of abstract or thesis) nor is currently under consideration for publication by any other journal". Secondly, the submitting author should declare that the co-author(s) has (have) read the manuscript and approved its submission to the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. Thirdly, in case of colour figures, the authors should declare that they agree to pay for the cost of printing.

Submission Online
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to: http://ees.elsevier.com/ejcnurse
Manuscripts are normally evaluated by three members from an international panel of reviewers. An editorial decision is normally taken within 28 days of receipt of a manuscript.
Use of the Digital Object Identifier
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) may be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alpha-numeric character string which is assigned to a document by the publisher upon the initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore, it is an ideal medium for citing a document, particularly 'Articles in press' because they have not yet received their full bibliographic information. The correct format for citing a DOI is shown as follows (example taken from a document in the journal Physics Letters B):
doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2010.09.059
When you use the DOI to create URL hyperlinks to documents on the web, they are guaranteed never to change.
Proofs
One set of page proofs (as PDF files) will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author (if we do not have an e-mail address then paper proofs will be sent by post) or, a link will be provided in the e-mail so that authors can download the files themselves. Elsevier now provides authors with PDF proofs which can be annotated; for this you will need to download Adobe Reader version 7 (or higher) available free from http://get.adobe.com/reader. Instructions on how to annotate PDF files will accompany the proofs (also given online). The exact system requirements are given at the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/systemreqs.
If you do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, you may list the corrections (including replies to the Query Form) and return them to Elsevier in an e-mail. Please list your corrections quoting line number. If, for any reason, this is not possible, then mark the corrections and any other comments (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout of your proof and return by fax, or scan the pages and e-mail, or by post. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication: please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely your responsibility. Note that Elsevier may proceed with the publication of your article if no response is received.
Offprints
The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. For an extra charge, paper offprints can be ordered via the offprint order form which is sent once the article is accepted for publication. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
For inquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission where available) please visit this journal's homepage. You can track accepted articles at http://www.elsevier.com/trackarticle and set up e-mail alerts to inform you of when an article's status has changed. Also accessible from here is information on copyright, frequently asked questions and more. Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, will be provided by the publisher.
