Since 2004, when Cambridge University Press became the Publisher of Cardiology in the Young, subscribers to the Journal have enjoyed online access to Issues and Supplements via Cambridge Journals Online.

Cardiology in the Young will shortly be publishing papers on Cambridge Journals Online as soon as the corrections made by the authors in response to peer review have been completed to the approval of the Editor-in-Chief, and before the manuscript sees the light of day in a printed Issue. A new reference item is added to the first page of the paper in the Journal catchline. This is the so-called digital object identifier, usually cited in journals that approve of the use of abbreviations as the “DOI”. It has become a global standard in publishing. A unique number is created for each published paper, and can be used for the purposes of citation in place of the numbers of the Volume, Issue, and the specific pages. It suits, therefore, the early citation of papers that are published online before they have appeared in a printed Issue.

The Journal will further benefit by plans to support authors via an online submission and peer-review system. Cardiology in the Young will soon trial ScholarOne's® Manuscript Central™. We plan to make the system available to authors towards the end of the next Volume, which will be published throughout 2006. The experience of Cambridge University Press with an ever-increasing number of its international journals has demonstrated that Manuscript Central™ is the system best designed to cater for the needs of Cardiology in the Young. The online platform will guarantee numerous advantages for the author compared with submission by post, or electronically via Felicity Gil, our Editorial Assistant. The latter methods will gradually be phased out.

Manuscript Central™ is a secure, password-protected online system. It will allow authors to submit their manuscripts at any time, from virtually anywhere in the world, and to track their journey through the editorial process. Cambridge University Press will not make any additional charges to authors for using electronic submission. It is hoped that the main benefits of the process will be a saving of time, an acceleration of the process of decision-making, and eventually more rapid publication. We will provide further information on this key development to readers and authors as Manuscript Central™ becomes available later this year. Full instructions for paper-free, online, submission will follow at this time.
