12 February 2008 Today Oxford Journals and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) announced a new publishing partnership for the *European Journal of Echocardiography*, starting in 2008. This will be the fourth of the ESC's titles to join Oxford Journals, following *European Heart Journal *in 2005, *Europace* in 2006, and *Cardiovascular Research*, which is also being launched by Oxford Journals for 2008. The *European Journal of Echocardiography *is the official journal of the European Association of Echocardiography, a registered branch of the European Society of Cardiology. It publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on the ultrasonic examination of the cardiovascular system, including ischaemic heart disease, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, and vascular disease. One immediate benefit for readers of the European Journal of Echocardiography is that they will have access to toll-free reference links to other journals hosted on the HighWire platform, including *European Heart Journal*, *Journal of the American Medical Association*, and *New England Journal of Medicine*.
