The Editor

As Editor of Circulation, I am pleased to announce a new initiative in publishing that we are introducing in this first issue of the new year: Circulation Online Only.

In an effort to publish various types of articles more rapidly, we are looking to put the Internet to its highest and best use and take full advantage of electronic publishing. The articles to be published in Circulation Online Only will be identified, and when applicable, an abstract published, on a special page within the print journal differentiated by a red border. Each article that appears in Circulation Online Only is indexed in Index Medicus, MEDLINE, and PubMed. Each article will also appear in the Table of Contents on the cover, denoted by a red star, and in the Table of Contents within the journal, denoted by the letter e in front of the page number.

The editors and staff of Circulation are hopeful that our readers are utilizing the electronic version of the journal now and will also anticipate having additional material available in Circulation Online Only.
