ESC'S Europace announces new partnership with Oxford Journals

Today the European Heart Rhythm Association of the European Society for
Cardiology (ESC) announced that from 2006 its prestigious journal,
Europace, will be published by Oxford Journals.

This new agreement is the second of the ESC's titles to join Oxford
Journals, following The European Heart Journal in January 2005. As a
department of Oxford University Press, Oxford Journals is well placed to
meet the aims of Europace and the ESC, by focussing on providing the
highest quality research to the widest possible audience.

Europace - The European Journal of Pacing, Arrhythmias and Cardiac
Electrophysiology is the official journal of the European Heart Rhythm
Association of the European Society for Cardiology (ESC). Aiming to reduce
the impact of cardiovascular disease, the journal provides original
peer-reviewed top quality European and international scientific work and
reviews in the fields of Arrhythmias, Pacing, and Cardiac
Electrophysiology.

"Oxford Journals has successfully published journals on behalf of some of the
world's most prestigious societies for over a century, and we are delighted that the ESC
have entrusted us with this second major title, commented Mandy Hill, Head of Science
and Medical journals, Editorial Department, Oxford Journals. She continued, "We
offer Europace, and indeed all our society journals, innovative, high quality
publishing services, and pride ourselves on our ability to broaden the reach and
impact of the research we publish. We will continue to work closely with the ESC,
to=20 enhance the quality of support and services to its members, authors and
readers."  Europace joins Oxford Journals' collection of highly cited medical
journals from January 2006.
