Revista Española de Cardiología: Current Position and Future Directions

Abstract

The “Editor’s Page” is the traditional format for the editorial team (ET) to communicate the overall position of Revista Espanola de Cardiologia (Rev Esp Cardiol) and its plans for the future. The current period is marked by the change in ET that took place in October 2015. In the following pages, the current status of the journal is described by both the outgoing ET, formed by Editor-in-Chief Dr Juan Sanchis and Associate Editors Dr Pablo Avanzas, Dr Antoni Bayes-Genis, and Dr Leopoldo Perez de Isla, and the new ET, formed by Editor-in-Chief Dr Ignacio Ferreira-Gonzalez and Associate Editors Dr Emad Abu-Assi, Dr Miguel A. Arias, Dr Pastora Gallego, and Dr Angel Sanchez-Recalde. These pages also include the posthumous acknowledgement of the excellent work of the beloved Magda Heras, Editor-in-Chief from 2009 to 2014. As well as providing a brief recap of the scope and organization of Rev Esp Cardiol, this article also describes the results of a new bibliometric analysis, which indirectly summarize the journal’s current editorial processes and scientific visibility. This leads on to some brief comments on the editorial plans for the period ahead.
