Editorial
Annual Progress Report and Our Thanks to Referees
Dear Colleagues:
This is our seventh annual progress report to you. Once
again, we want to extend to each of you our deep gratitude for
your words of encouragement and support over these years. It
is difficult to realize that these 7 years have flown by so
rapidly. As we enter our final year of our editorial tenureship,
we are grateful for the opportunity we have been given to
bring to you what we truly believe is the best of the world’s
research achievements.
With respect to our most recent publication statistics, we
are proud and pleased to tell you that the impact factor of our
journal remains the highest of all hypertension journals, 4.93
for 1999. The number of manuscripts submitted to us continues to increase. Last year, 1,269 manuscripts were submitted
to the journal; and, as of the end of October 2000, we have
received 1,071 papers and we anticipate receiving about
1,300 submissions by year’s end. Bear in mind that this does
not include the papers submitted for the Inter-American
Society of Hypertension meeting, because these scientific
sessions are held biennially. We continue to maintain a very
speedy initial review time of 4.0 weeks from submission to
first decision and 13.3 weeks from submission to final
acceptance. As you know, the first figure is probably the more
pertinent datum for an author to assess the promptness and
efficiency of a journal’s review process. The latter figure
reflects many other factors including the speediness of
authors to respond to the reviewers’ comments and suggestions (including the performance of additional experiments).
Special note should be made that over these past 7 years,
we have increased the number of clinically oriented research
papers published in Hypertension, and, at present, they
comprise over one half of the manuscripts published. They
represent the very best and cutting-edge work in clinical
investigation and, clearly, are on par with those other papers
published in our journal from the various fundamental laboratory sciences. We are also pleased that over one half of the
papers submitted to Hypertension emanate from the best
laboratories of countries other than the United States. For
your interest, the top 5 countries submitting papers to Hypertension in this past year originate from Japan, Italy, Germany,
United Kingdom, and France (in that order). Our foreign
submissions have continued to increase, and they presently
exceed the number of papers submitted from the United
States. Thus, as of the end of October 2000, there were 711
foreign submissions as compared to 360 from the United
States.
We will soon implement publishing a condensed print
version of the Materials and Methods section. A more
detailed (but not copyedited) Materials and Methods section
will be published online each month as a data supplement.
This will be done in an effort to publish more manuscripts as
well as for us to continue to shorten the time from acceptance
to publication.
Before closing, we wish to reiterate a personal comment
that must be obvious to each of you. Over these years you
have commented to us personally and in writing about your
satisfaction with the manner in which you have related
with our editorial office staff. So, once again, we want to
express our total delight and deep satisfaction with our
outstanding staff. We are truly proud of their commitment
to the journal and to all of us who have had the pleasure of
working with them. Debby Smith and Irene Hebert have
done a tremendous job in relating to our authors, publisher,
and the American Heart Association staff. Lisa Pineda,
who recently joined us, supports their efforts. And all of us
want to express our appreciation to the publication staff of
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Working with them each
day continues to be an ongoing pleasure. I also want to
express my everlasting fondness, respect, and appreciation
of Richard N. Ré and L. Gabriel Navar. They are superb
colleagues, broadly knowledgeable, and totally committed
to our journal.
Finally, as we always do each year, we are pleased to
credit the unselfish time provided to the journal and its
readers by more than 700 reviewers and the hardworking
editorial board members for their outstanding review of
submitted manuscripts. These peer reviewers from all over
the world underscores our point that Hypertension, as a
journal, is appreciated worldwide. You may be interested
that over 50 of these colleagues and friends of all of us
have reviewed over 10 papers this past year. Clearly,
without their interest, generosity of time and effort, and
their tremendous commitment, our editorial responsibilities would not have been as rewarding.

***IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR AUTHORS***
The editors have made several important new innovative changes in the Instructions to Authors in this issue concerning
the Methods section of new manuscripts as well as the presently available electronic submission.
