ESC Manuscript Transfer Service
Oxford University Press (OUP), Wiley, and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) provide a Manuscript Transfer Service, which allows authors to opt in to transferring their manuscript to another ESC journal if the ESC journal they submitted to does not accept their paper.
In most cases, authors will be made an offer of transfer after their manuscript has been peer reviewed. In these cases, the reviewer comments will be passed to the destination journal, significantly reducing the time to final decision at that journal.
The following journals participate in the ESC Manuscript Transfer Service:
European Heart Journal – Acute Cardiovascular Care
European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging
European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy
European Heart Journal – Case Reports
European Heart Journal – Digital Health
European Heart Journal – Imaging Methods and Practice
European Heart Journal – Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes
European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing
European Journal of Heart Failure
European Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Other ESC Transfer Schemes
Some ESC journals operate transfer schemes for specific article types. These include the following:
| Journal of original submission (transferring journal) | Destination journal | Applicable article type |
|---|---|---|
| European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging | European Heart Journal – Case Reports | Images in Cardiology |
| European Heart Journal | European Heart Journal – Case Reports | Cardiovascular Flashlights |
Transfers to the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
European Heart Journal also offers some manuscripts for transfer to European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, published by OUP on behalf of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
