Human Movement Science

Human Movement Science is a research journal in the behavioural and life sciences that takes the control, organization and learning of human movement as its subject matter, drawing on experimental psychology, biomechanics and neurophysiology at the same time.《人体运动科学》是一份横跨行为科学与生命科学的期刊，以人体运动的控制，组织与学习为研究对象，同时借助实验心理学，生物力学与神经生理学三支资源。

The title appeared in 1982 from North-Holland, an Amsterdam scientific publishing house whose list later passed to Elsevier, and the registered publisher on current deposits is Elsevier BV.刊名于 1982 年由阿姆斯特丹的科学出版机构 North-Holland 推出，该社书目其后并入 Elsevier，现行存缴数据登记的出版者为 Elsevier BV。

Six parts appear each year and each part carries a volume number of its own, a layout adopted in 2014, while the editorial office has long been housed in the human movement faculty of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.该刊每年出 6 册，每册各占一个卷号，这一版式定于 2014 年，编辑部长期设在阿姆斯特丹自由大学（Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam）的人类运动科学系内。

Clarivate carries the title in two citation editions, the science edition listing it under neurosciences, psychology and sport sciences, the social science edition under experimental psychology.Clarivate 的两个引文版别都收录该刊，科学版把它列在神经科学，心理学与运动科学项下，社会科学版列在实验心理学项下。

The 2025 report gives an impact factor of 1.9 beside a five-year figure of 2.5, and the archive remains subscription based with an optional open access route taken by roughly a third of recent output.2025 年报告给出影响因子 1.9 与 5 年影响因子 2.5，馆藏维持订阅制，另设可选的开放获取通道，近年约有三分之一的产出走此通道。

Scope

• The masthead slogan reads A Journal Devoted to Pure and Applied Research on Human Movement, and the aims text offers the pages as a medium for disciplinary and multidisciplinary studies of that kind.刊头标语作「A Journal Devoted to Pure and Applied Research on Human Movement」，宗旨文字把版面交给这类单一学科与多学科研究作为发表媒介。
• Psychological, biomechanical and neurophysiological investigations of how movement is controlled, organized and learned make up the core, the perceptual support of movement being named in the same sentence.核心稿件是探讨运动如何被控制，组织与学习的心理学，生物力学与神经生理学研究，运动的感知支持在同一句宗旨里被点明。
• The stated purpose is theoretical, articles should advance understanding of the control and organization of human movement together with the changes produced in them by development, learning and rehabilitation.办刊目的落在理论上，文章要推进对人体运动控制与组织的理解，也要推进对发展，学习与康复在这些环节上造成变化的理解。
• Fundamental theoretical and empirical work shares the list with applied studies in fields such as sport, dance and rehabilitation, the single proviso being that every study show a distinct theoretical bearing.基础理论与实证研究同体育，舞蹈，康复等领域的应用研究并存，唯一条件是每个研究都带有明确的理论意义。
• Purely descriptive studies are set aside by the aims text itself, and methodological papers are read only where the method opens new vistas on the control and organization of movement.宗旨文字本身排除纯描述性研究，方法学论文只在该方法为理解运动控制与组织开辟新视野时才被审阅。
• Exercise physiology meets the same filter, work of that kind being unsupported unless it speaks to the control and organization of human movement rather than to load or adaptation alone.运动生理学来稿受同一标准筛洗，只谈负荷或适应而未触及人体运动控制与组织的作品不予发表。
• Editors require an innovative theoretical message and dismiss what the aims text calls more of the same, a demand repeated in the submission checklist as a stated contribution to the aim above.编辑方要求理论信息本身有新意，并把宗旨文中所称的重复性工作退回，这一要求在投稿清单里重申为对上述宗旨的贡献。
• Hypothesis-driven and exploratory analyses are both considered, with exploratory work needing a motivated rationale and an explicit label inside the manuscript.假设驱动与探索性分析均在受理之列，探索性一类须论证其必要性并在文内明确标注。
• Registered Reports were added as a second channel, hypotheses and methodology being pre-registered and editorial decisions taken independently of results, the format being recommended for high-powered studies and for high-impact replications.该刊另设预注册研究（Registered Reports）通道，假设与方法先行注册，编辑决定与结果无关，此形式被推荐给高效力研究与高影响重复实验。
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses reach the pages from any author while narrative reviews arrive by invitation only.系统综述与元分析综述接受自由来稿，叙述性综述则只按约稿刊出。
• Special issues gather work around one theme and may consist of papers from conferences and workshops or of a target article followed by peer commentaries, guest editors being allowed to soften the general criteria where insight into the theme requires it.专辑围绕单一主题组稿，可收会议与工作坊报告，也可采用目标文章加同行评论的形式，客座编辑在为深化主题所必需时可适度放宽常规标准。
• Letters to the editor carry critical commentary on a paper already published, which gives the list a short post-publication register beside full articles.读者来信版面承载对已发表论文的批评性评论，刊物因此在完整论文之外多出一层刊后讨论。
• Gatekeeping runs on numbers as well as themes, the checklist refusing studies with fewer than ten participants as a rule of thumb and refusing pilot studies, case studies staying admissible once methodological conditions are met.把关既有主题标准也有数量标准，按惯例不受理不足 10 名受试者的研究与预试验，个案研究在满足方法条件后仍可发表。
• A 2024 volume shows the mix, carrying joint kinematics of gait in children with and without Down syndrome, the visual behaviour of racing cyclists in multi-tasking situations and the effect of spotting technique on dizziness and postural stability in dancers.2024 年的一卷可见题材组合，其中有唐氏综合征儿童与对照儿童的步态关节运动学分析，有竞速自行车骑手在多任务情境下的视觉行为研究，也有舞蹈者定点凝视对身体旋转后眩晕与姿势稳定性的影响。

History

• The first volume runs from 1982 and the library record for those issues gives the imprint as Amsterdam, North-Holland Pub. Co., which places the launch with a Dutch publishing house rather than with a learned society.第 1 卷始于 1982 年，馆方书目记录把出版项写作阿姆斯特丹的 North-Holland Pub. Co.，可见创刊依托的是荷兰出版机构而非学术团体。
• North-Holland had built its scientific list in physics and the behavioural sciences and that branch was merged into Elsevier's science publishing around 1970, so the journal was born inside a group already operating under the Elsevier name.North-Holland 的科学书目以物理与行为科学见长，该分支在 1970 年前后并入 Elsevier 的科学出版板块，此刊因此诞生于一个已用 Elsevier 名义运作的集团之内。
• Volume one opens with a six-page editorial titled The way ahead, printed on pages 1 to 6 of the first issue of 1982 and setting out the programme of the new title.第 1 卷以一篇 6 页的发刊社论《前路》（The way ahead）开篇，刊于 1982 年第 1 期第 1 至 6 页，阐明新刊的办刊纲领。^[1]
• The same first issue carries an editorial board page and papers on kinesiological electromyography, on the conditioned patellar reflex and on the perception of posture in dance, the breadth of the opening volume being legible from those titles.第 1 期同时刊出编委页，以及运动学肌电，条件性髌反射，舞蹈姿势感知等论文，首卷格局由这些题名即可看出。
• Four parts made a volume at the start, volumes one to six each closing at issue four, and six parts a year had arrived by volume eight in 1989, the frequency the National Library of Medicine still records.创刊之初每卷 4 册，第 1 至第 6 卷均止于第 4 期，到 1989 年第 8 卷已增至每年 6 册，美国国家医学图书馆至今仍按此刊期著录。
• One volume number covered a whole year until 2013, when volume 32 still ran from issue one to issue six, and from 2014 each part took a number of its own, so volumes 33 to 38 all fall inside a single calendar year.一个卷号统管全年直至 2013 年，该年第 32 卷仍分第 1 至第 6 期，2014 年起每册各得独立卷号，第 33 至 38 卷因此都落在同一年度。
• Continuous article numbering came next, identifiers such as 102462 and 102592 appearing in 2019 and replacing the old page ranges, so a 2020 volume is a set of article numbers rather than a bound pagination.随后改用连续稿号，102462 与 102592 一类编号在 2019 年出现并取代原页码区间，2020 年的各卷因此是一组稿号而非装订页码。
• Six parts a year persists under that model, Crossref deposits showing volumes 93 to 98 during 2024 and volumes 99 to 104 during 2025.每年 6 册的格局在新版式下延续，Crossref 登记显示 2024 年为第 93 至 98 卷，2025 年为第 99 至 104 卷。
• Deposits under the print identifier total 3436 records, 265 of them current and 3171 belonging to the backfile, an archive built up over four decades without any change of title.纸质刊号下共登记 3436 条记录，当期 265 条，过刊 3171 条，四十余年积累而成且刊名从未改动。
• Medical indexing arrived comparatively late, MEDLINE and PubMed coverage both opening at volume 20 numbers one and two in March 2001, while Index medicus had listed the journal in earlier decades.医学索引接入相对较晚，MEDLINE 与 PubMed 的收录都自 2001 年 3 月第 20 卷第 1 至 2 期起，Index medicus 在此前数十年已著录该刊。
• Citation measures moved in a narrow band, 2.397 in 2022, 1.6 in 2023 and 1.9 in both 2024 and 2025, the last of those years producing 6681 citations from 77 citable items with a cited half life of eleven years.引文指标在窄幅内波动，2022 年为 2.397，2023 年为 1.6，2024 与 2025 年均为 1.9，后者以 77 篇可引条目换来 6681 次被引，被引半衰期 11 年。
• The journal stayed absent from the Directory of Open Access Journals, yet 35.46 percent of its 2025 output appeared as gold open access under the hybrid arrangement.刊物未加入开放获取期刊目录，名录中查不到它，但 2025 年产出仍有 35.46% 以混合体制下的金色开放获取形式出版。
• No society appears anywhere in the publication record, imprint, masthead and deposit metadata naming only the publisher, which leaves the title an independent commercial venture on Elsevier's behavioural science list.出版记录里查不到任何学会名号，出版项，刊头与存缴元数据只登记出版者一个机构，该刊因此属于 Elsevier 行为科学书目上的独立商业期刊。

Editors

• The board page posted by the publisher lists Mark Williams as editor-in-chief, at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in Pensacola in the most recent capture and at the University of Utah in the 2022 one.出版方挂出的编委页把 Mark Williams 列为主编，最近一次存档写明其单位为彭萨科拉的 Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition，2022 年的存档则写作 University of Utah。
• That page keeps H.T.A. Whiting under the heading of founding editor and records two past editors-in-chief, P. Beek for 1999 to 2019 and P.C.W. van Wieringen for 1999 to 2005, terms that overlap at their start.同一页面把 H.T.A. Whiting 标为创办编辑，并列出两位历任主编，1999 至 2019 年在任的 P. Beek 与 1999 至 2005 年在任的 P.C.W. van Wieringen，二人任期开头重叠。
• Five section editors shared the desk in the 2024 record, David Anderson of San Francisco State University, Claudine Lamoth of the University Medical Centre Groningen, Matthieu Lenoir of Ghent University, Kenneth Meijer of Maastricht University and Arend Van Gemmert of Louisiana State University.2024 年的版面由 5 位分区编辑分担，即 San Francisco State University 的 David Anderson，University Medical Centre Groningen 的 Claudine Lamoth，Ghent University 的 Matthieu Lenoir，Maastricht University 的 Kenneth Meijer 与 Louisiana State University 的 Arend Van Gemmert。
• Two of them were already in place in 2022, when the section editor roster also carried Joost Dessing of Queen's University Belfast and Bradford McFadyen of Laval University.其中两位在 2022 年已经任职，该年的分区编辑名单另含 Queen's University Belfast 的 Joost Dessing 与 Laval University 的 Bradford McFadyen。
• A statistical advisory board of three sits beside the section editors, David Borg of the Queensland University of Technology, Dominik Liebl of the University of Bonn and Kristin Sainani of Stanford University.分区编辑之外另设三人统计顾问组，成员为 Queensland University of Technology 的 David Borg，University of Bonn 的 Dominik Liebl 与 Stanford University 的 Kristin Sainani。
• The 2024 roster counts 63 editors and board members in 12 countries or regions, the United States holding 19 seats, the United Kingdom 10, the Netherlands 9, Canada 7 and Germany 6.2024 年的名单共 63 位编辑与编委，分布于 12 个国家或地区，美国 19 席，英国 10 席，荷兰 9 席，加拿大 7 席，德国 6 席。
• Brazil, Australia, France and Italy contribute two members each, Belgium, Finland and Taiwan one apiece, the balance of the list lying between North America and western Europe.巴西，澳大利亚，法国与意大利各占 2 席，比利时，芬兰与台湾各 1 席，其余席位大体分布在北美与西欧之间。
• Senior names on that list include K.M. Newell and M. Latash of the Pennsylvania State University, M. Bobbert and C. Peper of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, R. Bootsma of Aix-Marseille University and J.B. Dingwell of the University of Texas at Austin.名单上的资深成员包括 Pennsylvania State University 的 K.M. Newell 与 M. Latash，Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam 的 M. Bobbert 与 C. Peper，Aix-Marseille University 的 R. Bootsma，University of Texas at Austin 的 J.B. Dingwell。
• Manuscripts are lodged through the publisher's Editorial Manager site registered under the code hms, and the checklist asks for suggested referees with their contact details at the moment of submission.稿件经出版方的 Editorial Manager 系统以代号（hms）递交，投稿清单要求同时提供推荐审稿人及其联系方式。
• The editorial office keeps its postal address at the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences on Van der Boechorststraat in Amsterdam, the faculty mailbox hms@fbw.vu.nl serving as the public contact of the journal.编辑部通信地址留在阿姆斯特丹 Van der Boechorststraat 的人类运动科学系内，该系邮箱（hms@fbw.vu.nl）即刊物对外的联系方式。
• Review runs single anonymized, an initial assessment by the editor precedes a minimum of two independent expert referees, and the guide states that the editor's decision on acceptance is final.评审采单匿名制，编辑初筛通过后至少送请两位独立专家评审，作者指南写明编辑对刊用与否的决定为终局。
• Editors stand aside from papers they wrote themselves or that come from family members, colleagues or their own commercial interests, such submissions being handled independently of the relevant editor and of that editor's research group.编辑须回避本人执笔的论文，也回避家人，同事所投以及涉及自身商业利益的来稿，此类稿件的评审独立于该编辑及其课题组。
• Style is prescribed rather than free, the guide asking for the latest edition of the manual of the American Psychological Association with page and line numbers supplied, while setting no cap on pages, words, figures or tables because length should stand in proportion to the message.体例有硬性规定，指南要求按最新版美国心理学会（American Psychological Association）手册格式排印并附页码与行号，同时对页数，字数，图数，表数不设上限，只要求篇幅与论点的分量相称。
