On January 10, 2019, Circ Rep, a sister journal of the Circulation Journal, was launched as an official Journal of the Japanese Circulation Society. During those 7 years, the journal has had great success in publishing many interesting papers, not only from Japan but also from all over the world. On March 12, 2021, all papers published in Circ Rep became searchable in PubMed Central® . Finally, Circ Rep has received its long-awaited impact factor!! The first impact factor for 2024 was as high as 1. 1, which is unusual for a newly launched journal. The official ranking places Circ Rep as 181th among the 230 journals in the Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems category in 2024 JCR Science Citation Index Expanded Edition. Unofficial information suggests that the expected 2025 impact factor for Circ Rep will rise to around 2.0. I would like to ask readers to use Circ Rep papers as reference papers in your future submission of manuscripts to any journals.  \nHere, I take an opportunity to summarize the progress of Circ Rep in 2025.  \nSubmissions  \nFigure 1 shows the number of manuscripts submitted in 2025. We receive about 27 manuscripts each month. As of November 20, 2025, 279 manuscripts had been submitted: 69.5% de novo submissions and 30.5% transferred from Circulation Journal. Figure 2 shows the types of submitted manuscripts. Clinical Investigations and Images in Cardiovascular Medicine are the major categories, but we also received 9 Protocol Papers and 4 Statements/  \nNumber of submissions in 2025  \n50 ~~ ~~  \n40  30   \n20   \n10 ~~ ~~  \n0   \nJan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct  \nFigure 1.

Figure 3 shows from which countries the manuscripts were submitted. Submissions from Japan dominated, but we received manuscripts from Australia, China, France, Canada and India.  \nEditorial Process  \nThe acceptance rate is 91.7% . Most of the manuscripts transferred from Circulation Journal have been accepted without delay after the editor-in-chief carefully checked the revised manuscripts and the authors’ replies to the original reviewers. In 2025, the average time from submission to acceptance was 29.4 days, and the average time from acceptance to advance online publication was 58.3 days. The editorial team continues efforts to minimize the time from submission to publication.  \nCirculation Reports Vol.8, January 2026  \nTable.
