Scope

JEV considers research articles as well as review articles, short communications, technical notes, hypotheses, position papers, editorials, and letters to the editor. The journal has published the current consensus guidelines for the EV field, the ''Minimal Information for Studies of EVs'' (MISEV2023), building on previous guidelines released in 2018 and 2014 ("MISEV2018" and "MISEV2014").

Notable articles

The journal has published numerous influential articles. These include position papers of ISEV as well as the periodically updated consensus guidelines for the EV field, which are based on expert opinion and
