Publish Ahead of Print

These manuscripts in the Publish-Ahead-of-Print area have been accepted for publication in Circulation. They have been typeset, copyedited, and reviewed by the author, but they have not appeared in a print or online issue of the journal. In some cases, a manuscript accepted and published ahead of print may be revised before it is eventually published in print and online. In these cases, a new revised version of the manuscript will be added online, as well as its accompanying erratum.

These published-ahead-of-print manuscripts appear online as PDFs approximately 2 weeks before publication in the printed and online editions of Circulation. Each manuscript published online ahead of print is citable, with the official publication date being the date of the manuscript's first online posting. Circulation papers are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), providing a persistent, permanent way to identify manuscripts published in the online environment.
