چکیده

As we usher in the 29th year of publishing JTI, it is a fitting time to reflect on the past year of the journal and to look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead in the coming year. In 2013, we strategically published the largest annual number and variety of cardiopulmonary imaging review articles in the journal’s history. With this issue, we continue this trend with the publication of several “hot topic” review articles devoted to PET-MRI imaging of lung cancer, practical thoracic MRI for daily practice, MR stress imaging of the heart, and cardiothoracic imaging of pregnant patients.1–4 In the months ahead, we will also be publishing timely symposia issues devoted to imaging the heart-lung axis, cardiac function and physiology, and quality and safety. We also successfully launched exciting new educational initiatives in the past year, including continuing medical education (CME) credits and American Board of Radiology Self-Assessment Module (SAM) offerings for select review articles,5–8 and a new Lung Cancer Screening Corner. These features have helped to solidify JTI ’s role as a primary educational resource for our subspecialty. In the year ahead, we plan to build upon these educational offerings through expanding the number and variety of our CME-SAM articles and by implementing recommendations from our digital media task force spearheaded by senior editor Jeff Kanne. Another highlight from 2013 was the announcement of the 2012 Impact Factor, which increased by nearly 30% from 2011 to reach its highest level since 2009. This was accompanied by positive trends in a variety of other publishing metrics. It is our goal to continue to build upon these successes in the year ahead in order to further strengthen the journal’s international reputation, particularly with respect to the quality and impact of the original research articles published in JTI. It is my hope that you will help us to meet this goal by placing your words on the blank pages of this year’s forthcoming issues of JTI by submitting your original work to the journal.
