Submitting to Current Cardiology Reports goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Current Cardiology Reports guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Current Cardiology Reports. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Current Cardiology Reports journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Current Cardiology Reports guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Current Cardiology Reports guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through the journal's submission system.
| Element | Current Cardiology Reports requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured abstract of 150 to 250 words. Must not contain undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. For clinical trials, the trial registration number and date of registration must be included as the last line of the abstract. No specific headings or structured format required for regular reviews/commentaries |
| Main text | - The submission guidelines do not specify word count or page limits for reviews or commentaries |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |

| References | Numbered citations in square brackets in text (e.g., [1], [1-3, 7]). Reference list numbered consecutively in order of appearance. DOIs should be included as full DOI links (e.g., https://doi.org/abc). Journal names should use standard abbreviations according to the ISSN List of Title Word Abbreviations. Follows Springer standard numbered citation style (similar to Vancouver style) |

Read the Current Cardiology Reports guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Current Cardiology Reports in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Current Cardiology Reports papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Current Cardiology Reports journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Current Cardiology Reports guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
