JACC International Editions

I am Dr. Antonio Bayés de Luna, Emeritus Professor of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and I have the great pleasure to present the Spanish version of the prestigious Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), whose Editor-in-Chief is Dr. Valentin Fuster. I am in agreement to him, when he says that the journal is maintained on the top of cardiological journals, because it publishes many original papers weekly and reviews with the aim to aid clinical and cardiovascular investigators in taking care of patients and helping them in their research initiatives. The Journal has a very high impact factor, but what is really important is that the Journal produce a great impact to the readers.

I am introducing the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the Portuguese version. Six editions with six articles, I each issue of JACC with the editorial board from the Portuguese-language [speaking] countries. We’d like to invite cardiologist from all countries to share with us the best articles of JACC that are highly relevant to Portuguese-speaking countries.

Much appreciation to ACC and Elsevier and to JACC Experts of Chinese Edition. After half a year of preparation, the JACC Chinese Edition has launched. The goal of the JACC Chinese Edition is to improve Chinese cardiovascular health, by providing Chinese cardiologists with access to original high-quality papers to read. We plan to publish 6 magazines annually, and each issue will contain 5-6 original JACC papers that are translated into Chinese. There will be Editorial Comments for these important original papers.
