Below field-year expectation
of 1,974 topic-associated OpenAlex sources by lifetime output
FWCI compares papers with the same publication year, type, and field. 1.0 is the world average; above 1.0 is above expectation. This journal's median is 0.46, so its typical recent paper runs about 54% below its field benchmark.
4.5% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.
Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.

2026 Journal Metrics Scores for all 2 Circulation journals published by Japanese Circulation Society, highest score first. Each journal is scored separately; there is no combined score for the Circulation family.
Source: the current OpenAlex source record. OpenAlex works can include multiple work types. Fully Open Access is a source-level flag. Recent OA Works is summed from OpenAlex's counts_by_year series (up to the latest ten years); it is not a lifetime OA percentage. Any APC shown here is an indicative OpenAlex value—verify current charges on the journal's official website.
Circulation Reports' 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 1.2, from the August 2026 data release. The score is a two-year citation average computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works.
Circulation Reports' best quartile is Q3. By OpenAlex subfield: Q3 in Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine; Q3 in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging. Quartiles rank journals by Journal Metrics Score within each subfield.
No. Journal Metrics computes the score independently from OpenAlex open data. Other providers use different citation databases, document types, and counting rules, so their published figures for Circulation Reports will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.
Circulation Reports accepts papers a median of 7 days after submission across 100 recent PubMed records with both dates; the middle half took 1–54 days. This includes peer review, editorial handling, and revisions.
PubMed records when a manuscript was received and accepted, not the individual review stages, so peer review time on its own is not available. The full time from submission to acceptance at Circulation Reports, which includes peer review and revisions, has a median of 7 days. For the time to a first decision, check the journal's own website.
Circulation Reports' median of 7 days from submission to acceptance is faster than 100% of comparable journals with PubMed timing data.
Comparable journals include Circulation Journal, Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, American Journal of Cardiology, and Journal of Cardiology. Compare their scores, acceptance times, and costs in the recommended alternatives on this page before choosing where to submit.
