Scope

• The scope sentence is broad by design, taking in all aspects of the esophagus and then naming the axes along which that breadth is organised.范围表述刻意写得宽，先收下食管的全部面向，再点出组织这种宽度的几条主轴。
• Etiology is the first of those axes, covering work on the causes of esophageal disease rather than its management.病因是第一条主轴，处理食管疾病的成因，不涉及处置。
• Investigation forms the second, for studies of how the organ is examined and what the examination yields.检查构成第二条，关注用何种手段查看这一器官以及查看所得的结果。
• Diagnosis follows as a separate entry, so papers on classification and on the recognition of a condition sit apart from those on technique.诊断随后单列，关于分类与识别的稿件因此与关于技术的稿件分开。
• Medical treatment makes up the third main axis, gathering the physician's side of esophageal care.内科治疗构成第三条主轴，汇集食管诊疗中由内科医师承担的那一半。
• Surgical treatment forms the fourth, and the journal treats the two therapeutic arms as equal partners rather than as a main course and a side dish.外科治疗构成第四条，刊物把这两条治疗路径当作地位相当的两半。
• That balance is written into the editorial structure, where surgical and medical associate editors are listed as two separate groups of comparable size.这种平衡写进了编辑结构，外科与内科副编辑被列为人数相近的两个独立组。
• Primary research papers carry original clinical and laboratory work and make up the bulk of each issue.一手研究论文承载原创的临床与实验室工作，构成每期的主体。
• Short reports give brief accounts of cases and small series that do not need the length of a full paper.短篇报告用于病例与小样本系列，篇幅不必铺到完整论文的长度。
• Review articles are commissioned, which sets this journal apart from titles that take unsolicited reviews through the same door as research.综述一律约稿，这一点把本刊与那些让综述和研究论文走同一扇门的刊物区分开来。
• Correspondence provides the space for comment on published work and for exchange between readers.通信栏为针对已发表工作的评论与读者之间的往来提供空间。
• Books and equipment are reviewed in their own section, a recognition that instruments matter as much as arguments in this specialty.图书与器械另设栏目评介，承认在本专业里器械与论证同样要紧。
• Annotated abstracts condense work published elsewhere, and the annotations tell readers what the editors judged worth their attention.附注摘要浓缩了发表在其他地方的工作，注解部分说明编辑认为哪些内容值得一读。
• Announcements of meetings close the list of content forms, tying the journal to the congress calendar of its society.会议公告收束这份内容清单，把期刊与所属学会的会议日程系在一起。
• The title belongs to the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus, a nonprofit founded in 1979, and it serves as that body's journal of record.本刊归国际食管疾病学会所有，该学会成立于 1979 年，属非营利组织，刊物是它的正式记录。
