Scope

• Neurorehabilitation and musculoskeletal practice are the two largest clinical areas the journal names.神经康复与肌骨康复是刊物点名的两个最大临床方向。

• Sports sciences and trauma follow, and both are treated as rehabilitation subjects rather than as performance ones.运动科学与创伤紧随其后，两者都当作康复题目处理，而不是竞技题目。

• Chronic pain and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation complete the clinical list.慢性疼痛与心肺康复构成临床名单的其余部分。

• Stroke has its own line in the scope, and rehabilitation technology sits beside it.卒中在宗旨里单列一行，康复技术与之并列。

• Outcome measurement is named as a subject in its own right, which suits a journal that came out of a title called Rehabilitation Process and Outcome.结局测量被当作独立题目列出，这对一本出自《康复过程与结局》的刊物很合适。

• The scope has widened to basic sciences, clinical trials and qualitative research alongside the clinical interventions.宗旨扩展到基础科学，临床试验与定性研究，与临床干预并列。

• Patient and public involvement, and health services and policy research, are named too, which puts the journal beyond strictly clinical publishing.患者与公众参与，以及卫生服务与政策研究也在其列，刊物因此不限于临床发表。

• The main readership is physical and rehabilitation medicine physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nurses.主要读者是物理与康复医学医师，物理治疗师，作业治疗师与护士。

• Psychologists, speech and language therapists, dieticians and support workers are counted in the same audience.心理学家，言语治疗师，营养师与辅助人员也算在同一批读者里。

• Adjacent fields are addressed as well, among them neurosciences, orthopaedics and trauma, palliative care, geriatrics, cardiology and respiratory medicine.相邻领域同样在考虑之内，神经科学，骨科与创伤，缓和医疗，老年医学，心血管与呼吸医学都在其中。

• Special issues carry themes such as Long COVID, with mechanisms, treatments and outcomes gathered in one place.专刊承载主题，新冠长期症状那一期把机制，治疗与结局收在一处。

• Practice Pointers and guideline summaries are running formats, and invited editorials, opinion pieces and book reviews fill out the rest.实践要点与指南摘要属于常设栏目，其余篇幅由特邀社论，评论文章与书评填满。

• Every paper is open access, and the record is preserved in CLOCKSS, Portico and PubMed Central.所有文章都开放获取，存档由 CLOCKSS，Portico 与 PubMed Central 承担。

• Review is single anonymous, and each paper goes to at least two independent reviewers.评审为单匿名，每篇稿子至少送两位独立评审人。

• A first decision is promised within six weeks, and publication within three weeks of acceptance.首次决定承诺在六周内给出，录用后三周内上线。

• Outcome measurement is named separately, so instruments, scoring and follow-up design fall inside the scope rather than outside it.结局测量单列，意味着量表，评分与随访设计都在宗旨之内，而不在其外。

• Clinical interventions and qualitative work share one home here, which means interviews and trials are read by the same audience.临床干预与定性工作在此共用一个位置，访谈与试验由同一批读者阅读。

• SAGE publishes it, and the British Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine stands behind the title, which is the institution the open access record names.出版方是 SAGE，刊物背后是英国物理与康复医学学会，开放获取记录里写的就是这家机构。

• Only one annual impact factor is on record, 2.3 for 2025, and the five-year figure repeats it.记录里只有一个年度影响因子，2025 年的 2.3，五年影响因子与它相同。

• The 2025 volume carries eighteen articles and sixty-four citations, a small base that makes the impact figure volatile.2025 年那一卷有 18 篇文章与 64 次被引，基数小，影响因子容易波动。

• The volume count runs on without a break at the rename, which is why the fifteenth volume belongs to a name that is only four years old.卷号在更名处没有断开，所以第 15 卷属于一个才用了四年的刊名。

• Author instructions and fee information sit on the same SAGE page, so the editorial and the commercial terms are published together.作者须知与费用信息放在 SAGE 的同一页上，编务与商业条款因此一并公布。

• Because the platform blocks automated reading, the board roster is best consulted directly on the SAGE site rather than through a mirror.平台挡住自动抓取，编委名单最好直接在 SAGE 站上查，别经由镜像。

• The six-week promise covers the first decision only, not the whole round of revision and review.六周的承诺只覆盖首次决定，不含之后的修改与再审。

• Fees and licence terms are stated on the site before submission, so the cost of a paper is known in advance.费用与许可条款在投稿前就写在站上，一篇文章要花多少钱事先可知。

• Front matter mixes staff-written notes with invited pieces, so the opening pages are not all from the editorial office.卷首内容把编辑部自己写的文字与特邀文章混在一起，开篇几页不全是编辑部手笔。
