الوصف: It is my pleasure to address you as the new Editor of Circulation Research . The journal is thriving as I inherit it from Steve Vatner’s dedicated and capable direction. Submissions are roughly double what they were when he took over (totaling nearly 1300 in 1998), and the journal’s short-term ISI impact factor has risen to 8.44.1 This is particularly remarkable given that Circulation Research does not traditionally publish meeting abstracts, which artificially inflate the short-term impact factor. Most abstracts are cited only in the first 2 years after publication, which is the period covered by the conventional short-term impact factor. A more telling indicator of a journal’s preeminence in the field is its rank in 15-year impact factor ratings. In this long-term measure of scientific impact, Circulation Research’s rating of 64.4 ranks number one among cardiovascular journals (and 15th among all scientific journals), well above the 26th-place 53.8 rating of its closest competitor.2 Here, I would like to preview some of the changes that will occur in the journal. These changes are designed to maintain excellence while improving the efficiency of the review process and taking advantage of new technology. For operational details of these and other journal policies, please refer to the revised Instructions to Authors that appear elsewhere in this issue. Circulation Research is the very best forum for fundamental research of relevance to the cardiovascular system. The journal will continue to publish outstanding work on basic cardiac and vascular biology while particularly encouraging the submission of work that uses state-of-the-art approaches to illuminate mechanisms of human disease (ie, translational research). A welcome is also extended to cutting-edge clinical research driven by fundamental insights. In effecting this transition of the journal, I have recruited a diverse and broadly representative editorial team. These individuals are listed …
