I do agree with you when you said that we didn´t need any more journals. As far as I´m concerned we already have so many jornals around the world that is obviously difficult to follow the news in cardiology. The traditionals ones like JACC, NEJM, Circulation are perfectly sufficient.

And are there too many Journals? You delivered that one bone dry. I almost died laughing at the end. What galls me is how the journal comes with the cover's Table of Contents all covered up by advertising for another journal so I can't even read what's in the journal that I paid $150/year for. Covered up like it was Vanity Fair... the stuff doesn't even burn well. It amazed me that there were as many journals to begin with... but, what in the world are these people thinking to bring out more journals? Are there really that many unspoken for advertising dollars available? And these editors,... and some of the manuscripts they must see... we can only imagine how hard it must be to pick and choose? ..., on April Fool's Day, you should get some people to write a spoof journal called the Journal of American College of Cardiovascular Recirculation... you can ask some people to submit some articles that have been serially rejected and are sitting around in their files waiting to be recirculated and intersperse them with some well written bogus articles. Drop them off in a stack at one of the big meetings near the message boards...No one will be able to tell the difference from some of these journals... Then we'll all sit around and blog about the new research published in JACCR.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH DR TOPOL THAT WE DO NOT NEED MORE JOURNALS. IUSED TO READ JACC FROM COVER TO COVER,NOW IT IS PUBLISHED EVERY WEEK I CANNOT SAY THE SAME.WE NEED LESS JOURNALS AND LESS REPITION. PRACTICING PHYSICIANS DO NOT HAVE THE TIME.

I broadly agree with all of you. My main concern is that all the new journals will not be open access.This is ludicrous. The future of scientific dissemination is open access, as now requested by the NIH.

In addition, who of us is gonna subscribe to so many journals?

Finally, EuroIntervention was launched a few years ago and still lacks indexing in MEDLINE or Thomson. Thus, when Circ: PCI, JACC: PCI and EuroIntervention will all be indexed we will have a total of 3 "new" PCI journals!

Does it make sense?
