Hypertension Journal

by C Venkata S Ram

Hypertension Journal is a peer-reviewed journal which highlights epidemiology, health implications and cardiovascular risk from hypertension in India/South-Asia. Hypertension is much more common than diabetes. It is vastly under diagnosed and poorly treated in India/South-Asia. There are excellent therapeutic options to treat hypertension but the available resources are not fully utilized by doctors therefore neglecting this disorder. The journal will hereby promote the significance of hypertension and the urgent need to bring it under control. The medical community should be educated on hypertension evaluation, diagnosis, workup and management simultaneously bringing up the literature, research, guidelines and scientific advances related to hypertension and its disorders. We are hereby starting a high-quality journal dedicated solely to hypertension and thus promoting the awareness, evaluation and effective management in India/South-Asia. 
Dr C Venkata S Ram is a world authority on hypertension with lifelong work (research, clinical and publications). This journal will be an official publication under the sponsorship of:

  1. The Indian Society of Hypertension
  2. The World Hypertension League
  3. Current Medical Concepts.

 

Jaypee Journals follow the policy of open access under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 licence. For the details of self archiving policy for authors:

 

Open Access Policy

A comprehensive outlook on open access policy that we follow:

Open access refers to the practice of making peer-reviewed scholarly research and literature freely available online to anyone interested in reading it without any restriction. This Open access publications are freely and permanently available online to anyone with an internet access. Unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium (which is non-commercial) is permitted, provided the author/editor is properly attributed. All the periodicals are deposited immediately upon publication, without any technical, financial, gender limitations, in an agreed format on the journal website as well as archiving and indexing databases as applicable to a journal. All articles are self-archiving, with world-wide access through DOI (Digital Object Identifier) - standardized by the International Organization for Standardization, provided for individual article published.

We are fully archived on PORTICO.

Why open access publishing?

Restricted access to scientific research and advancements through subscription pay wall hinders communication within the scientific community. Moreover, restricted access can also hinder the education and dissemination of scientific knowledge to the aspiring younger generations who are keen to pursue a career in science. Increased productivity and development of science can only be achieved by diffusing knowledge and providing the facilities for creating permanent repositories such as Open Access.

The use of a Creative Commons 4.0 License (CC-BY-NC 4.0) enables user/ reader/ peer to use the content with clear permission in a way that it can be reused and redistributed as long as the article source is appropriately given credit for non-commercial purpose.
