The independent 2015 Essential Journal Study is a benchmark

study of the journals that cardiologists consider essential to their

practice. Consistent with past studies, these cardiologists draw

a clear distinction between the top two essential journals and

the rest in their field. In addition, cardiologists spend more time

reading essential journals, read them sooner, and value their

content more than their secondary journals.
