	Introduction

 
The editors of Circulation Research are pleased to announce the creation of a new manuscript category called Reports. This new category provides an expeditious forum for high-priority scientific findings that can be explained and documented in a compact manner. The key features of Reports are as follows:

Brief but definitive presentation of novel mechanistic research findings

Rapid editorial decisions (within 21 days of submission)

Publication within 4 weeks of acceptance

Length limited to three pages in the print journal

Reports appear in the print journal but are much shorter than UltraRapid Communications (roughly 2000 words and 1 to 2 figures). Longer manuscripts can still receive expedited review and publication in the online-only UltraRapids category, which allows up to 7000 words and 10 figures. As with other categories of original publications, additional methodological detail or supporting data can be appended as an online data supplement.

Effective immediately, we would be pleased to receive papers in this new category. Please consult the instructions below for guidelines on submitting Reports.
