CVIR at the CIRSE 2025 Annual Congress explored the dynamic world of interventional radiology through the lens of the CIRSE Journals: CVIR, CVIR Endovascular and CVIR Oncology.

Whether a dedicated reader, an established or aspiring author, or simply curious about the latest developments in IR publishing, there was an exciting programme! At our journals booth there was a chance to:

• Meet the new Editors-in-Chief and Editorial Board
• Join interactive activities and challenges
• Learn how to publish with us

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the people behind the journals and become part of the conversation shaping the future of interventional radiology.

We are happy to announce CVIR’s 2024 impact factor of 2.9! This achievement underscores the exceptional quality and importance of the articles published in the journal.

A big thank you to the journal’s dedicated authors, reviewers, editors, and readers for their invaluable contributions and support!

CIRSE SOP on Occupational Protection in Interventional Radiology. A Joint Guideline of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe and the Society of Interventional Radiology

Since the initial edition of this Guideline was published in 2010, it has become increasingly clear that occupational protection involves more than just radiation protection. Additionally, radiation exposure to operators and staff occurs from sources other than fluoroscopy. This Guideline has been updated to incorporate these topics and to reflect new information on occupational protection in interventional radiology.

Please find the CVIR template for reviewers in Editorial Manager. Each article type has a template which addresses the most important points that peers should include in their review reports.

The editors' aim with this new initiative is to improve the overall quality of review reports and to make the assessment of manuscripts easier.

As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), CVIR is obliged to follow international ethical codes for publication. Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications and public trust in scientific findings.

Therefore, it is crucial that authors who submit their paper to CVIR include a “Compliance with Ethical Standards” section in the title page. This section contains five statements: funding, conflict of interest, ethical approval, informed consent and consent to publish.

For all manuscripts (including case reports) that include written details or images relating to individual participants, consent to publish must be obtained from the participants (or their parent or legal guardian in the case of children under 16) and a statement should be included in the manuscript. If your manuscript does not contain data from any individual person, please write “not applicable” in this section.

Please read all details on publishing ethics before submitting your research.

Please note that Springer, has decided to discontinue the CVIR app as of February 1, 2019. 

All CIRSE Members continue to have unlimited access to CVIR articles online through the myCIRSE area on the CIRSE website at www.cirse.org.

Furthermore, all CIRSE Members are eligible for a highly reduced print subscription to CVIR. The print subscription rate for 2020 is €74 and includes 12 issues. To order it, please go to myCIRSE area.

Four decades have gone by since CVIR was established. Back in 1978 Herbert L. Abrams and Eberhard Zeitler founded the journal with the goal of having a platform for scientific communication from all over the world in the field of cardiovascular and interventional radiology.

On this occassion Prof. Hausegger has prepared an anniversary issue of CVIR, published at the same time as the journal celebrates the anniversary at CIRSE 2018 in Lisbon, 22-25 September 2018. A selection of key articles from CVIR’s previous issues, including historical papers, cornerstone papers and other popular articles.

Enjoy the read! 

CVIR is dedicated to continually improving the manuscript submission process and review experience for its contributors. Therefore, the journal employs a manuscript management system Editorial Manager – a system currently used by a vast number of other scientific, peer-reviewed journals.

To access the new submission website, please visit: www.editorialmanager.com/cvir

We kindly request that all authors and reviewers visit Editorial Manager to update their information – particularly their Personal Classifications – to ensure that they can be contacted according to their area of expertise.
Should you have any questions regarding the new system, please contact the CVIR Editorial Office: [email protected]

Dear readers and authors,
Use a great sharing feature of CVIR and share articles freely with peers and general audience across the web. This sharing option provides authors and readers with sharable links to a read-only version of the articles. This read-only version cannot be downloaded or printed out, but it is a great opportunity to improve the visibility and impact of your work.

For Authors:
When an article is published, the corresponding author receives a link that can be shared with the co-authors. The co-authors can copy this link and share it with anyone else or post it on social media. If you are an author, you can request sharable links of other research articles that you have authored by entering the article’s DOI into the Springer author portal. Click here to visit the Springer author portal.

For Subscribers:
On the webpage of every article you’ll see a ‘Share’ or ‘Share article’ option. If you click on this, for every article you have subscription access to, you’ll be provided with a sharable link, which you can copy and provide to other interested parties or post anywhere. 

These links can be posted anywhere, including social media channels and on other highly-used sites, institutional repositories and authors' own websites as well as scholarly collaborative networks, which many researchers are using to collaborate and to share both publicly and privately.

For more information on sharable links, please visit the SpringerNature website.
