چکیده
We are delighted to announce that Circulation is now receiving manuscripts and reviews electronically. We had attempted to avail our readers and supporters of an online system more than two years ago, but the existing systems were not sufficient to handle the large volume of manuscripts that we were receiving and reviewing at Circulation. We are pleased that with the advancement of technology, we can now make available to our readership the ease of electronic submission of manuscripts via Bench Press. Manuscripts will be reviewed and decisions communicated to authors electronically as well. We believe that this represents a step forward in expediting Circulation’s workflow as we receive and review manuscripts and communicate with authors. We hope that the system will be widely used. Please let us know your suggestions for improving our efforts.
