Scope

• The journal provides a forum for the exchange of information about new and significant research in dentistry, and it sets out to promote the discipline in Australia and throughout the world.该刊为交流牙科领域新的重要研究信息提供论坛，并力求在澳大利亚与全世界推进这一学科。

• Peer-reviewed research articles form the core material of each issue.经同行评审的研究论文构成每一期的核心内容。

• Reviews and theoretical articles are taken alongside the research papers.综述与理论性文章与研究论文一同被接收。

• Special features and commentaries supplement the main material, so that the journal carries more than primary reports.专题特写与评论补足了主要内容，因此该刊承载的不只是原始报告。

• Clinical developments are published, which keeps the journal in touch with changes in day-to-day practice.临床进展会被发表，这使该刊与日常实践的变化保持接触。

• Clinical opinions and treatments form part of what the journal takes, so that professional judgement has a place beside measured results.临床意见与治疗方式也是该刊接收的内容，使专业判断在测量结果之外同样有位置。

• Other key issues of relevance to dentistry are published as well, which widens the journal beyond laboratory and chairside reports.与牙科相关的其他重要议题同样会被发表，这使该刊的范围超出实验室与诊椅旁的报告。

• The journal describes itself as the leading publication in its field.该刊自述为其领域的领先刊物。

• Publishing follows a hybrid model, so an author may choose an open access route for an accepted paper.出版采用混合模式，作者可以为被接收的论文选择开放获取路径。

• The journal keeps a self-archiving policy, and authors may deposit their accepted manuscript after the embargo set by the publisher.该刊设有自存档政策，作者可在出版方设定的禁运期后存放其被接收的稿件。

• Its readership takes in general practitioners and specialists alike, so the clinical material is written to be usable in ordinary practice and not only in referral centres.其读者既包括全科执业医师也包括专科医师，因此临床内容写得能在普通诊所使用，而不只在转诊中心使用。

• The journal asks contributors to make the clinical relevance of their work explicit, which keeps the pages tied to problems that patients actually present.该刊要求作者明确说明其工作的临床意义，这使版面始终与患者实际呈现的问题相连。

• Advertising and association announcements appear alongside the research content, so the journal also serves the professional body that owns it.广告与协会公告与研究内容并列刊出，因此该刊也服务于拥有它的专业团体。

• Articles are published with abstracts, so that a reader can judge the relevance of a paper before turning to the full text.文章都附有摘要，使读者在阅读全文之前就能判断一篇论文是否切题。

• The aims and the author guidelines are printed on the publisher's platform together with the editorial board list.宗旨与作者指南连同编委会名单一起公布在出版方的平台上。
