What is open access?
Open access (OA) is when publications are freely availble online to all at no cost and with limited restrictions with regards reuse. The unrestricted distribution of research is especially important for authors (as their work gets seen by more people), readers (as they can access and build on the most recent work in the field) and funders (as the work they fund has broader impact by being able to reach a wider audience).
While traditional models charge users a fee to read the content, as a way to recoup the costs of publication, in open access an article processing charge (APC) will be levied after an article has been accepted and prior to publication and covers the costs of the entire publication process; peer-reviewing, editing, publishing, maintaining and archiving. Additionally it allows free, immediate and permanent access to the full research work published. This increases the number of downloads, shares and citations of your paper.
Open access is the opportunity for your research to reach more audience!
How do I submit my manuscript?

Who retains the copyright?
When publishing articles as open access the authors keep the copyright. The Creative Commons Attributions License - a copyright license - allow others to share, use and build upon the author's work, while still protecting your intellectual property.

How does double-blinded peer-review work?
CVIR Endovascular adopted a double-blinded peer-review model. During the review process, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. This approach is designed to ensure an objective and unbiased evaluation of manuscripts, based solely on their scientific merit.
By concealing identities on both sides, the double-blinded peer-review process minimizes potential conscious or unconscious bias related to authorship, institutional affiliation, seniority, or geographic origin. Reviewers are encouraged to provide fair, rigorous, and constructive assessments, focusing exclusively on the quality, originality, and relevance of the submitted work.
This model supports a thorough and balanced review process while maintaining confidentiality throughout all stages of evaluation. It promotes equity and consistency in editorial decision-making and reinforces trust in the integrity of the peer-review process.
For readers, the double-blinded peer-review model ensures that published articles have undergone an impartial and high-quality evaluation, reinforcing confidence in the scientific validity and credibility of the work presented.
How much is the APC for CVIR Endovascular?
CVIR Endovascular levies an article processing charge of 2190 EUR / 2590 US / 1890 GBP for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.
Who is responsible for organising the payment?
The corresponding author will be asked at the beginning of the submission process to choose how to pay or to indicate the funding option they think they are entitled to.
When is the payment due?
The corresponding author will be notified that payment is due upon editorial acceptance. They need to arrange payment unless a waiver has been granted, or your institution or
employer will take care of the costs.
If I lack funds can charges be waived?
Springer considers individual waiver requests for articles on a case-by-case basis and they may be granted in cases of lack of funds. To apply for a waiver please request one
during the submission process.
Does an author from a low-income country have to pay APCs?
Springer offers waivers to authors coming from countries, which were classified by the World Bank as Low-income economics and corresponding authors from lower-middle-income
economies receive a 50% waiver.
Please make sure to explore your funding options before you submit the paper.
