The National Society Cardiovascular Journals (NSCJs) of the European Society

of Cardiology (ESC) are high-quality bio-medical journals devoted to publishing ori-ginal research and educative material on cardiovascular diseases.1–3 These journals officially belong to the corresponding ESC national societies. Many of them have achieved major international recognition, are included in most important bibliomet-ric databases, and have made major scien-tific impact.1–5 Some NSCJs offer full-text English content and are freely available in electronic editions. However, NSCJs are largely heterogeneous and some of them are only published in local languages with a limited visibility.1–
