There were 106 articles published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR) in 2017, including 92 original research papers, 3 reviews, 9 technical notes, and 1 Position paper, 1 erratum and 1 correction. The volume was similar to 2016 despite an increase in manuscript submissions to 405 and thus reflects a slight decrease in the acceptance rate to 26.7%. The quality of the submissions continues to be high. The 2017 JCMR Impact Factor (which is published in June 2018) was minimally lower at 5.46 (vs. 5.71 for 2016; as published in June 2017), which is the second highest impact factor ever recorded for JCMR. The 2017 impact factor means that an average, each JCMR paper that were published in 2015 and 2016 was cited 5.46 times in 2017.In accordance with Open-Access publishing of Biomed Central, the JCMR articles are published on-line in continuus fashion and in the chronologic order of acceptance, with no collating of the articles into sections or special thematic issues. For this reason, over the years, the Editors have felt that it is useful to annually summarize the publications into broad areas of interest or theme, so that readers can view areas of interest in a single article in relation to each other and other contemporary JCMR articles. In this publication, the manuscripts are presented in broad themes and set in context with related literature and previously published JCMR papers to guide continuity of thought within the journal. In addition, I have elected to use this format to convey information regarding the editorial process to the readership.I hope that you find the open-access system increases wider reading and citation of your papers, and that you will continue to send your very best, high quality manuscripts to JCMR for consideration. I thank our very dedicated Associate Editors, Guest Editors, and Reviewers for their efforts to ensure that the review process occurs in a timely and responsible manner and that the JCMR continues to be recognized as the forefront journal of our field. And finally, I thank you for entrusting me with the editorship of the JCMR as I begin my 3 year as your editor-in-chief. It has been a tremendous learning experience for me and the opportunity to review manuscripts that reflect the best in our field remains a great joy and highlight of my week!
2017 年《心血管磁共振杂志》（JCMR）共发表了 106 篇文章，包括 92 篇原创研究论文、3 篇综述、9 篇技术说明和 1 篇立场文件、1 篇勘误和 1 篇更正。尽管投稿量增加到 405 篇，但卷数与 2016 年相似，这反映出接受率略有下降，至 26.7%。投稿质量仍然很高。2017 年 JCMR 的影响因子（于 2018 年 6 月公布）略低，为 5.46（2016 年为 5.71；2017 年 6 月公布），这是 JCMR 有史以来第二高的影响因子。2017 年的影响因子意味着，平均而言，2015 年和 2016 年发表的每一篇 JCMR 论文在 2017 年被引用了 5.46 次。根据生物医学中心的开放获取出版，JCMR 文章以在线形式连续发表，并按接受的时间顺序排列，不将文章整理成章节或特别主题问题。因此，多年来，编辑们一直觉得每年将出版物总结为广泛的兴趣领域或主题是有用的，这样读者可以在相互之间以及其他当代 JCMR 文章中查看感兴趣的领域。在本出版物中，手稿按广泛的主题呈现，并与相关文献和以前发表的 JCMR 论文一起置于上下文中，以指导期刊内的连贯性。此外，我选择使用这种格式向读者传达有关编辑过程的信息。我希望您发现开放获取系统增加了对您论文的更广泛阅读和引用，并希望您继续向 JCMR 提交最优秀的高质量手稿以供考虑。我感谢我们非常敬业的副编辑、客座编辑和审稿人，感谢他们努力确保审稿过程及时、负责地进行，并且 JCMR 继续被公认为我们领域的前沿期刊。最后，我感谢您在我担任主编的第三年委托我编辑 JCMR。这对我来说是一个非常宝贵的学习经历，有机会审查反映我们领域最佳水平的手稿仍然是我每周的一大乐趣和亮点！
