On behalf of the editorial team of the Circulation Journal, the official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society (JCS), I am pleased to report that the scientific and internationalization levels of the Journal are rapidly advancing. As I have mentioned repeatedly in my previous editorial messages, the JCS should represent not only Japan but also the countries in the Asia-Pacific region. This would make the position of the Circulation Journal in this region equivalent to that of Circulation, published by the American Heart Association (AHA), in America and the European Heart Journal, published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), in Europe (Figure 1). Indeed, the goal of our editorial team is to enhance the scientific and internationalization levels of the Circulation Journal.
