NHJ direct online in January 2011!

[摘要] In one of our previous Editor’s pages, we announced that our Netherlands Heart Journal (NHJ) received a 2009 impact factor of 1.4, which is a crucial step for our journal. This achievement was a consequence of another important step for our journal, being the recognition by PubMed as of January 2007. From that moment on, the Chief Editorial Board and our Publisher observed a considerable increase in submitted articles. In 2007 we received a total of 62 submissions. This number rose to 79 in 2008 and to 172 in 2009, an almost threefold increase! It is foreseen that the number of submitted articles in 2010 will probably exceed 200. From 2007 to 2009 the number of original papers grew from 24 to 61, the number of review articles from 7 to 15, and the number of case histories from 16 to 46. These figures are very stimulating, encouraging and rewarding for our journal.
