The Editors of Circulation Research are pleased to present this annual report on the progress of the journal over the course of 2006, the seventh year of our editorship. The journal saw continued overall growth in 2006, with increased submissions, rapid manuscript handling, and enviably brief times to publication. Submissions to the journal have climbed steadily since 1999. In 2006 Circulation Research received a record number of submissions, 1978 articles (Figure 1). This represents a 53% increase in submissions over the course of our editorship. Manuscript submissions came from a diverse array of nations, including both developing countries and well-established scientific powerhouses (Figure 2). Figure 3 tracks submissions by region. The most notable growth over the past three years has been in the "Other" category. The editors’ inspection of the country-by-country data reveals a distinct surge in submissions from China, Korea and Taiwan (Figure 4), in parallel with the remarkable economic growth experienced by these nations in recent years. The Editors encourage all authors, regardless of country of origin, to look to Circulation Research as the preeminent journal for cardiovascular basic science and mechanistic clinical research.
