The JCA is published on a regular quarterly frequency since 1977. Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias adopts the double-blind peer review system, in which the identity of the authors and evaluators is preserved. The submitted manuscripts will be initially checked for adequacy to the scope, observance of compliance with publishing rules and content similarity (plagiarism), using the iThenticate system. Manuscripts without or with a low percentage of similarity will be sent for evaluation. Manuscripts with high similarity content will be returned to the author for correction or rejected in definitive. Manuscripts accepted for evaluation will be sent to at least two ad hoc referees who will evaluate the manuscript for scientific content, forwarding the result to the editor-in-chief or associate editor who, based on these, will decide to publish, refuse or request corrections to the author. In cases where a new version is required, upon receipt, the editor-in-chief or associate editor may decide for immediate acceptance or referral to a new evaluation round. In cases where the author does not agree with the decision received, the appeal is allowed, arguing its reasons by e-mail to the edit
