Journal of Atrial Fibrillation
- Journal of Atrial Fibrillation
The Journal of Atrial Fibrillation or JAFIB is an Open Access journal publishing original papers and reviews on Atrial Fibrillation and cardiac electrophysiology. It was officially launched in conjunction with the Heart Rhythm Society May 2008, and releases one issue every two months.
Open Access
In the interests of Open Access, the journal does not charge for publication or for subscriptions. The costs for running the journal are obtained via sponsorships and advertisements. This is "an attempt to challenge the conventional scholarly publishing model, with the aim to make knowledge free for all". This model differs from commonly used business model of charging for publishing in open access journals [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plos#Business_model Ref : PLoS Business model]
The journal also has a "Meet the Expert" section which allows patients to questions directly of the doctors who write for it.
Aims and scope
* Surgical management

Editorial board
JAFIB has 60-member editorial panel headed by Dr. Andrea Natale. [ [http://www.jafib.com/index.php?cont=editors Editorial panel listing] ] The founding principle of the journal was to reach the international electrophysiology community and to cover the complete clinical care pathway for atrial fibrillation.
