Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2004

Abstract

As we begin the fifth year of editorship of the journal (with the term of the current editors continuing until 2007), ATVB seems to be doing well. The impact factor, as a reflection of quality of papers, increased remarkably again this year, and is very strong in comparison with other journals that focus on atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology. The number of manuscripts submitted continues to increase steadily. The time to first decision is short, and papers are published rapidly after acceptance. The Editors sincerely thank the Consulting Editors, members of the Editorial Board, reviewers (please see Acknowledgement to Reviewers at http://atvb.ahajournals.org), authors, and readers of the Journal. We encourage your feedback and advice, sent to atvb@uiowa.edu.
