Case of scientific publication in the Web of Science-indexed journals with an impact factor (SCIE) in the field of medical sciences on the atrial fibrillation treatment

Alex Zvansky 29.05.2025

We have concluded an agreement with the author to publish an article in the Web of Science-indexed journal with an impact factor.

An article on medicine, and it is difficult to work with such a one, since some journals distinguish up to 7 types of articles. Each type has its own requirements, starting from the number of words in the abstract and article itself, ending with a list of references. Everyone understood that there was a lot of work to be done.

First of all, our specialists analyzed the article and we sent the author comments that needed to be revised before submitting the article to the journal. After the author’s improvements, the article was translated into English and edited to meet all the requirements of the first journal, which was agreed with the author, but, unfortunately, we failed and publication was rejected.

After numerous negotiations with the editors of various journals, we decided to submit an article to the Heart Surgery Forum and agreed with the editor on an accelerated review. Within a month, the article was reviewed, and we received positive comments from reviewers. The author finalized the article and it was re-submitted for consideration. As a result, the article was accepted and published in August 2022. From the moment of submission of the article to the moment of publication, only 3 months have passed. This is a record short time for the journals of this level.
