Founded in 2013, the Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia Imagem Cardiovascular (ABC Imagem Cardiovascular) is the official publication of the Cardiovascular Imaging Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology and succeeds the former Revista Brasileira de Ecocardiografia.

This journal follows the Open Access model, allowing unrestricted virtual access (including financial access) to all scientific texts published by the journal.

Open Access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties through an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose.

The term open science refers to a model of scientific practice aligned with digital advancements, which promotes the sharing of information through networks, as opposed to the traditional closed research model conducted in laboratories.

Open science practices involve the publication of research data, acceleration of editorial and communication processes through continuous article publication and the adoption of preprints, increased transparency in peer review and communication workflows, and the pursuit of broader systems for evaluating articles and journals.

Our editorial policy adheres to the principles of Open Science in its research communication practices, and ABC Imagem Cardiovascular follows the Gold Open Science model.
