Journal of Hypertension and Cardiology · editorial service
Editorial Service Registration
A route for qualified researchers to express interest in editorial service relevant to hypertension and cardiovascular medicine.
Editorial appointments are based on subject expertise, relevant scholarly experience, and the journal’s need for independent editorial oversight.
The editorial role
Editors provide scholarly stewardship by assessing fit, managing independent peer review, and applying publication-ethics procedures.
- Assess manuscripts within the editor’s relevant subject expertise.
- Select independent reviewers and make evidence-based recommendations or decisions.
- Declare and manage competing interests, maintain confidentiality, and escalate ethical concerns when required.
Information to provide
Send the information needed for the editorial office to consider whether the applicant’s expertise matches the journal’s needs.
- A current CV and ORCID iD where available.
- Specific areas of hypertension or cardiovascular expertise.
- A concise summary of relevant research, editorial, or peer-review experience.
Independence and confidentiality
Editorial service does not create an advantage for an editor’s own work.
- Editors must not handle their own manuscripts or manuscripts where they have a competing interest.
- Editor-authored submissions are assigned to an independent editor and follow the same review and decision standards.
- APC payments, waiver requests, discounts, and commercial considerations do not influence editorial decisions.
Express interest with the relevant scholarly information.
The editorial office will consider the information provided against the journal’s current subject and editorial needs.
