Over the last year we have launched many new features and initiatives aimed at increasing the impact and quality of the journal:
- The Featured Article list sets the stage for our Podcasts, lively audio editorials offering our readers a conversation with the author and our experts about the impact and relevance of the work, and implications for future research. Listeners can sign up to receive email notification for each newly published podcast and sign up for our podcast RSS feed.
- Our Table of Contents is grouped by topic area, making it easier for readers to navigate the content of each issue. Our Article Collections offer readers one-stop-shopping for Review articles and Standards and Guidelines articles.
- Beginning in January 2012, AJP-Heart and Circ is now publishing twice monthly and online-only!
- Our journal homepage offers readers new features and content, including an animated journal cover. Watch This @ AJP-Heart and Circ showcases digital media content and video supplements relevant to your research.
- We continue to push the envelope with our Facebook page and Twitter feed, sharing TOC alerts, "must-read" articles, podcast alerts, APS information resources, and more.
I want to thank our dedicated editorial team of Associate Editors, Consulting Editors and editorial staff for ushering the journal into a new digital age. Without the wonderful support of our Editorial Board and ad-hoc reviewers, however, the journal would be nothing. With the depth of expertise we all bring to the table, we have together transformed AJP-Heart and Circ into a modern e-pub bringing the very best in cardiovascular physiology literature to our readership.
We continue to provide fast and fair reviews, with an average time to decision of 18.6 days, with clear and instructive decision letters. Submit your work now!
