Medical peer-reviewed journals have standardized the rules

On July 5th, 2017 representatives of the editorial boards of the leading Russian journals in cardiology have conducted the joint working meeting in Moscow for the first time in order to discuss the issues and possibilities. Those journals are "Arterial hypertension", "Cardiology", Russian Journal of Cardiology", "Heart failure", "Heart" and "Rational pharmacotherapy in cardiology".

The meeting resulted in establishing the Council of Cardiology Journals and signing the Charter of Good Editorial Practice. The aim is to develop and support the unified high standards of publishing the leading cardiology journals, to reduce factors that block integration of the Russian cardiology to the world scientific community and to create opportunities for spreading the accurate, clear and impartial scientific knowledge.
