Understanding your rights and options for sharing and archiving cardiovascular research published in JHC.
Empowering Authors Through Open Access
JHC supports open science principles by enabling authors to share, archive, and reuse their published cardiovascular research across multiple platforms.
Our policies promote maximum accessibility while protecting research integrity and ensuring proper attribution for your contributions.
Upon publication in the Journal of Hypertension and Cardiology, authors retain significant rights to their work under our open access model. We believe that accessible cardiovascular research accelerates scientific progress and improves patient outcomes. Our permission framework empowers authors to maximize the impact of their contributions to cardiac medicine.
Self-Archiving Rights
Authors may deposit published articles in institutional repositories, personal websites, and academic networking platforms with proper attribution and DOI linking.
Preprint Compatibility
JHC supports preprint posting. Authors may share preprint versions and update them to reference the final published article upon acceptance.
Educational Use
Published content may be used freely in educational settings, including cardiology training programs, medical education, and academic conferences.
Funder Compliance
Our open access model supports compliance with major funder mandates requiring public access to research outputs from funded cardiovascular studies.
Authors are encouraged to deposit their published work in institutional repositories and subject-specific archives. This expands discoverability and supports long-term preservation of cardiovascular research. When depositing, please link to the version of record using the assigned DOI and include complete bibliographic metadata for accurate citation.
Version guidance: For repository deposits, use the final published PDF (version of record) with proper citation formatting. Preprint versions should be clearly labeled and updated to reference the published article upon release.
JHC encourages authors to share underlying clinical trial data when ethically appropriate. For cardiovascular studies involving patient information, we recognize that data sharing must balance transparency with privacy protection and regulatory compliance. Authors should include data availability statements describing what data can be shared and access procedures.
- Anonymized datasets may be deposited in appropriate clinical data repositories
- Statistical code and analysis scripts should be shared when possible for reproducibility
- Sensitive patient data requires appropriate de-identification and access safeguards
- Data availability statements are required for all submissions describing access procedures
When using content from other sources, authors must secure appropriate permissions before submission. This includes figures, tables, and extended quotations from copyrighted materials. JHC provides guidance on permission requests and documentation requirements during the editorial process.

Some authors are required by their funders to make their research publicly available. Under the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy, Author Accepted Manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025, must be submitted to PubMed Central upon acceptance and made publicly available without embargo on the official date of publication.
What JHC provides: JHC publishes the Version of Record under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. The journal also permits authors to deposit their Author Accepted Manuscript in funder-designated repositories. Upon acceptance, we confirm the accepted manuscript version and record the funder and grant information supplied by the authors.
Author responsibility: JHC does not currently deposit manuscripts in PubMed Central on behalf of authors. Authors are responsible for determining which funder requirements apply, initiating the appropriate repository submission and completing any required NIHMS approval steps.
Eligibility and successful processing through PubMed Central or NIHMS are determined according to the relevant funder and NIH/NLM requirements.
Important: The deposit of an individual article in PubMed Central may result in that article appearing in PubMed. It does not mean that JHC is indexed in MEDLINE, included in the PMC Journal List or that all JHC articles are available through PubMed. The journal's current coverage is listed on the Indexing page.
