Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing

From the Editors

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the website of the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. We are proud to have this website to give you enhanced access to the exceptional articles published in the journal, and to multiple other resources. The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, long indexed in Index Medicus, PubMed and other top indexing services, received its first impact factor this year from the Science Citation Index. We are extremely excited to report that in our first year we were ranked 9th by impact factor out of 62 journals indexed.

We invite you to spend some time exploring this site so that you can discover for yourself what a rich source of material the site contains. On this site you can take a look at all the articles in the current issue, plus any article from the past. Select articles are published ahead of print, which means they are available online before they are officially published in the journal and made available on the website. Take a look at the Editor’s Picks and Collections, both of which are great tools for finding articles archived from previous issues. In addition, explore our many other options and let us know what you think.

Your Editors,

Barbara Riegel & Debra Moser

 

I too would like to welcome you to the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing website! I am very honored to have been appointed the online editor. This site provides access to all Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing articles, links to current guidelines for cardiac patients, links to upcoming conferences of interest and news from the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association, the Australasian Nursing Society and the AHA Cardiovascular Nursing Council. My primary goal is to ensure that this site has current, accurate and useful information for all who access the site. All features will be regularly updated and new ones added, so visit regularly!

Yours,

Susan Frazier
