Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Circulation Journal, I would like to report the official 2017 impact factor and the Circulation Journal papers (2015–2016) most frequently quoted in 2017, that substantially contributed to the 2017 impact factor of the Journal.
1. The Official 2017 Impact FactorI would like to report that Circulation Journal has earned an official 2017 Impact Factor (IF) of 2.895. The score decreased from the previous year (3.544). The official ranking places Circulation Journal the 54th among the 128 journals in the Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems category in 2017 JCR Science Edition (44th among the 126 journals in 2016). Although the IF score decreased from the previous year, the IF score without self-citation increased from 2.449 to 2.624. I would like to ask readers to use Circulation Journal papers as reference papers in your future submission of manuscripts to any journals.
2. The Most Frequently Quoted CJ Papers (2015–2016) in 2017The following papers, published in 2015–2016, were among the top 23 most frequently quoted papers in 2017, thereby substantially contributing to the 2017 Impact Factor of the Journal (number in the parenthesis denoted the number of quotation in 2015–2016).
