Search for more papers by this author Originally published10 Jun 2020https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.120.030570Stroke. 2020;51:1919–1920With this July 2020 issue, I officially begin my term as Editor-In-Chief of our Stroke journal. We stand on the shoulders of giants for all those who have contributed to this journal over the last 50 years. Our field has rapidly advanced and so has the journal over the decades, but we would not be where we are today without the dedicated work of so many authors, reviewers, and editors. I start my term with a sincere acknowledgment of gratitude for everyone who has helped us achieve success. I would like to particularly thank the outgoing senior editorial leadership team led by my friend and colleague, Marc Fisher, and the prior deputy editor, Karen Furie. I have learned much from them and hope we can continue the many initiatives they have started as we chart our new course forward.Over the last 6 months, we have established a new senior editorial leadership team and have been developing a great working relationship to manage the journal. Getting Argye Hillis aboard as our deputy editor has been a great help because she was one of the associate editors for the last 5 years and has a terrific depth of knowledge regarding editorial responsibilities and the recent history of the journal. We have expanded the number of associate editors to 10 including 6 clinical, 2 basic/translational science, and 2 population science editors. All of them are accomplished and experienced members of the editorial board and have been assistant or consulting editors and excellent prior reviewers for the journal. I am relying on them as the steering committee for the journal. Our team is getting to know one another and getting into a good rhythm as we handle the markedly increased article submissions coming to the journal during this unprecedented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Nothing like starting with a bang, we have been breaking prior records and handled 402 submissions in April, as the outgoing team managed 356 submissions in March (285 per month on average in 2019).I have engaged Marc Fisher and Karen Furie as Senior Consulting Editors to work with our new team of Consulting Editors. This group of handling editors manage all manuscripts where there could be any conflict of interests with the Editor-In-Chief, Deputy Editor, or associate editors. Please welcome our new group of 28 consulting editors consisting of 14 men and 14 women, half of whom are international.We have expanded the number of sections to 36 areas to fully engage across the many disciplines that make up our field. Some new sections include Brain Health, Digital Health, Disparities, Neuro-Cardiology, Neuro-hospitalist, Quality Improvement, Stroke in Children, Stroke in Women, Vascular Biology, and multiple Treatment sections. We will maintain our commitment to International Stroke Early Career and Training, Illustrative Teaching Cases, Stroke Literature Synopses, and the Cochrane Corner. We are also planning to launch a Patient Page, podcasts, and expand the use of digital and social media.One of the responsibilities for some of our section editors will be to write an annual Advances in Stroke article briefly summarizing some breaking news in their discipline. Rather than try to cram these all into the February issue and summarize the prior calendar year, we are planning a rolling submission of these articles hoping for maybe 2 Advances articles in each issue to keep our readers up to date about some breaking information in a particular area of stroke. Please look for these in the coming months. In this issue, please welcome the many new section editors and essential members of our team.One of the new initiatives that we are instituting is to greatly expand the use of triage reviews. We can only publish a small fraction of the many great submissions we receive with a target acceptance rate of 12%, which unfortunately means that 88% of all manuscripts get rejected. With the rapidly growing number of journals on the market and expanding avenues of science, we are all being asked to review more manuscripts and make decisions more quickly. We remain concerned about reviewer burnout, so we are planning to increase the utilization of triage review that will lead to more letters labeled “reject without full review.” We have greatly expanded the number of assistant editors to 40 outstanding individuals (20 women, 20 men; 20 international), and we will plan to call upon them especially for triage reviews. For our authors who work so hard to write and submit their manuscripts, we want to provide you some critical feedback in a timely manner. Although the amount of peer review may be less than you would like, I believe it is better to know the results more rapidly, get some words of advice, and then prepare your manuscript for a different journal with the ultimate goal of getting your work published somewhere more quickly.To assure the continued high quality of all of our published articles, we have expanded our statistical editors to 2 senior statisticians to help coordinate the statistical reviews of our manuscript submissions. We have also added 2 technical editors to make sure our accepted manuscripts adhere to AHA and other scientific standards for reporting scientific data.We have also reviewed and expanded the entire masthead of our large editorial board. For those who are ending their terms on the board, I want to sincerely thank you for your years of service and hope to still call upon you from time to time. For our new board members, thank you for your commitment and welcome aboard. We have made a strong effort to increase the number of women and diverse members of the board and maintain our targeted balance of 50% international colleagues.For our authors, we have simplified our instructions for authors, expanded some of the page limits, and added a new article type. Original research remains the most frequent article type and can be clinical, population science, or basic/translational science with an expanded word limit of 6000. Brief reports can also cover those topic areas but are much shorter at 2000 words and 15 references. We will be launching a new article type labeled Research Letters. These brief 800-word articles with only 1 figure and no abstract are very focused and meant to make an important innovative point in any topic areas covered by Stroke. We are also consolidating our multiple review article types into one category labeled Reviews that will consist of Topical reviews, Focused Updates (a collection of review articles), and Basic Science Advances for Clinicians. We will be expanding the number of solicited reviews to provide state of the art summaries of topics relevant to many of our readers.We will continue to highlight articles in each issue with editor’s picks, Continuing Medical Education (CME) selections, and plan to add more invited editorials to put the work we publish in perspective. We are also making a push to add more invited commentary including special reports, news from National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, StrokeNet Update, international news, Stroke History, and Leadership Profiles in future issues.We are also very fortunate to be working with an accomplished managing editor team led by Rebecca Seastrong. We have kept her and the two assistant managing editors, and the editorial assistant quite busy over the last few months preparing for the transition, as we also simultaneously continue to handle the many manuscripts coming into the journal. They are a great group of hardworking managers who help keep the ship cruising at a very rapid speed.With this issue, we also are launching a new look for Stroke with a new appealing modern font. I also hope you notice the new accent colors. We are sticking with our traditional yellow, but adding a new teal accent color. Some of my fellow editors thought it may be a little too Miami! We are only in the beginning of what I hope will be more great years of progress for Stroke. I look forward to working with all of you, hearing about your exciting work, and reviewing suggestions and any thoughts you may have about how we can make the journal better. I am truly excited and humbled to be leading such a great team of editorial board members to help chart a course for what is ultimately our journal.DisclosuresDr Sacco receives personal compensation from the American Heart Association as Editor-In-Chief of Stroke; grant support from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for the Northern Manhattan Study, and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences for the Clinical Translational Science Award, and other National Institutes of Health grants; Florida Department of Health for the Florida Stroke Registry.FootnotesThis manuscript was sent to Marc Fisher, Senior Consulting Editor, for editorial decision and final disposition.For Disclosures, see page 1920.The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those of the American Heart AssociationCorrespondence to: Ralph L.
