AB In  my  10  years  as  editor-in-chief  of  JACC:  Cardiovascular  Interventions,  we  have  selected  about  1500  original  research  articles  for  publication.  In  recent  years,  the  acceptance  rate  has  been  around  9%,  so  the  editors  have  had  to  be  very  selective.  Papers  with  high  enough  priority  to  be  published  in  the  journal  have  certain  characteristics  that  I  will  describe  in  this  chapter.  There  are,  however,  several  other  fine  journals  concentrating  on  publishing  articles  specific  to  interventional  cardiology,  and  some  of  them  have  different  interests.  Also,  general  cardiology  journals  and  the  most  selective  medical  journals  also  publish  interventional  cardiovascular  papers.  So  the  thought  when  preparing  a  research  paper  should  not  be,  “Will  it  get  published?”  but,  instead,  “Which  journal  is  best  suited  for  my  submission?”  The  answer  to  that  question  usually  lies  in  the  project  itself.  A  well-planned  research  project  will  almost  always  result  in  a  publishable  paper.  Knowledge  of  the  type  of  papers  published  in  each  journal  will  aid  in  deciding  where  to  send  the  paper.
