Fostering Diffusion of Scientific Contents of National Society Cardiovascular Journals:

European Society of Cardiology (ESC) National Society Cardiovascular Journals (NSCJs) are high-quality bio- medical journals focused on cardiovascular diseases. The EditorsNetwork of the ESC devises editorial ini- tiatives aimed at improving the scientific quality and diffusion of NSCJ. In this article we will discuss on the importance of the Internet, electronic editions and open access strategies on scientific publishing. Finally, we will propose a new editorial initiative based on a novel electronic tool on the ESC web-page that may further help to increase the dissemination of contents and visibility of NSCJs.
