Scope

• The stated aim is to publish the best work in science, policy and public health practice for reducing the burden of injury in all age groups around the world.该刊公开的宗旨是发表科学、政策与公共卫生实践方面的优秀成果，以减轻世界各地所有年龄段的伤害负担。

• Unintentional injury takes the largest share of the pages, with road traffic crashes, falls among children and older people, drowning, burns and scalds, poisoning and suffocation.意外伤害占据最多篇幅，涉及道路交通碰撞，儿童与老年人的跌倒，溺水，烧烫伤，中毒与窒息。

• Occupational injury is treated as a subject in its own right, through papers on workplace hazards, safety in farming and construction, and the reach of labour regulation.职业伤害被当作独立主题，相关论文讨论工作场所危害，农业与建筑业的安全，以及劳动法规的覆盖范围。

• Intentional injury covers violence in several forms, among them child maltreatment, intimate partner violence, assault, bullying and injury from firearms.故意伤害一类涵盖多种形式的暴力，包括儿童虐待，亲密伴侣暴力，袭击，欺凌与枪械造成的伤害。

• Because the title grew out of a society for child and adolescent injury prevention, the safety of young people keeps a prominent place in its pages.由于这份刊物脱胎于一个关注儿童与青少年伤害预防的学会，青少年的安全在刊中始终占有突出位置。

• Surveillance and measurement receive steady attention, from emergency department records and death registers to coding practice, data linkage and estimates of the global burden.监测与测量受到持续关注，内容从急诊记录与死亡登记，到编码实务、数据链接与全球疾病负担估算。

• Evaluation makes up much of the empirical content, through randomised trials, quasi-experimental designs, natural experiments and programmes run across whole communities.评估研究占实证内容的很大一部分，形式包括随机试验，准实验设计，自然实验以及覆盖整个社区的项目。

• Policy analysis examines legislation, regulation and enforcement, such as seat belt and helmet laws, speed limits, drink-driving thresholds and rules on product safety.政策分析考察立法、监管与执法，例如安全带与头盔法规，限速，酒驾阈值与产品安全规则。

• Road safety is approached through the safe system idea, in which road design, vehicle standards and speed management count as joint determinants of whether an injured person survives.道路安全以安全系统的思路推进，把道路设计、车辆标准与速度管理看作共同决定伤者能否存活的环节。

• Economic analysis also appears, weighing the cost of injury against the cost of prevention and asking whether an intervention gives value for the money spent.经济分析同样出现，把伤害的代价与预防的投入放在一起比较，并追问某项干预是否对得起所花的钱。

• A large share of papers comes from low- and middle-income countries, where the injury burden is heaviest and routine data are thinnest.相当一部分论文来自中低收入国家，那里的伤害负担最重，常规数据也最薄弱。

• Equity runs through the choice of topics, since injury rates follow deprivation, age, gender and the safety of the built environment.公平问题贯穿选题，伤害发生率与贫困程度、年龄、性别以及建成环境的安全水平彼此关联。

• Methodological papers and study protocols are accepted, the latter setting out a design and an analysis plan before any results exist.方法学论文与研究方案均被接受，后者在没有结果之前就把设计与分析计划写清楚。

• Editorials, commentaries and brief reports sit beside full articles, and a practice section addresses the everyday work of running safety programmes.社论、评论与简报与全文论文并列，另有一个实务栏目讨论安全项目的日常运作。

• Clinical trauma care falls outside the remit, so papers on operative technique or intensive treatment belong elsewhere unless they carry an argument about prevention.临床创伤救治不在其范围内，讨论手术技术或重症治疗的论文若无预防层面的论证，更适合投往别处。

• Every issue since March 1995 is archived online, abstracts are free to read, and full text is reached through a subscription or an open access payment.1995 年 3 月以来的各期都在网上存档，摘要可免费阅读，全文则通过订阅或支付开放获取费用取得。

History

• The first issue appeared in March 1995 under the BMJ Publishing Group imprint in London, and volume 1 ran to four quarterly numbers.创刊号于 1995 年 3 月在伦敦以 BMJ Publishing Group 的名义出版，第 1 卷共出 4 期。

• Volume 1 number 1 opened with an unsigned editorial headed "Logo and logic", two pages setting out what the new title was for.第 1 卷第 1 期以一篇不署名的社论开篇，题为《标志与逻辑》，用两页篇幅说明这份新刊要做什么。

• A short note by (I. B. Pless) called "Giving birth... and thanks" filled the next page, and page three carried a statement on the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention by (F. P. Rivara).下一页是（I. B. Pless）的短文《诞生，以及感谢》，第 3 页则是（F. P. Rivara）关于儿童与青少年伤害预防国际学会的说明。^[1][2]

• The same volume reprinted (W. Haddon)'s 1973 paper on energy damage and the ten countermeasure strategies, a text the field still uses when it treats injury as a transfer of energy.同一卷重印了（W. Haddon）1973 年那篇论述能量损伤与十项对策的论文，这份文本至今仍被用来把伤害理解为能量的传递。^[3]

• The society tie survives in the catalogue, where the full title runs on to name the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention, known as ISCAIP.与学会的关系保留在编目里，完整题名在后半段标出儿童与青少年伤害预防国际学会，该学会简称 ISCAIP。

• The title itself has never changed in three decades, and the two words printed on the 1995 masthead are still the two words used in 2026.三十年间刊名从未改动，1995 年印在刊头上的两个词，到 2026 年仍是同样的两个词。

• Volume numbering has never been restarted, so volume 10 belongs to 2004, volume 25 to 2019 and volume 32 to 2026.卷号从未重新起算，第 10 卷对应 2004 年，第 25 卷对应 2019 年，第 32 卷对应 2026 年。

• Quarterly publication ran to volume 9 in 2003, and from volume 10 the title moved to six numbers a year, a bimonthly rhythm kept ever since.季刊的节奏维持到 2003 年的第 9 卷，自第 10 卷起改为每年 6 期，双月刊的形制沿用到今。

• The National Library of Medicine still records the frequency as quarterly, a description that fits the early volumes rather than the present schedule.美国国立医学图书馆的编目仍把刊期写为季刊，这一描述适合早期各卷，与现行安排不同。

• Print ceased with volume 24 in 2018, the journal now describes itself as online only, and the electronic ISSN 1475-5785 covers the whole run.纸质版于 2018 年第 24 卷出完后停办，该刊如今自述为仅发行网络版，电子刊号 1475-5785 覆盖全部卷期。

• Supplements have come at intervals since 1998, when volume 4 carried the first, and roughly a dozen volumes have added one since, the most recent in volume 31 of 2025.增刊自 1998 年起陆续出现，第 4 卷出了第一本，此后约十余卷各出过一本，最近一本出自 2025 年第 31 卷。

• Indexing followed early, with MEDLINE and PubMed holding the journal from volume 1 number 1 of March 1995 and Index Medicus listing it in the same period.收录跟进得早，MEDLINE 与 PubMed 自 1995 年 3 月的第 1 卷第 1 期起覆盖全刊，《Index Medicus》在同一时期亦有收录。

• Citation coverage is split between Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index, matching the mix of epidemiology and social research in its pages.引文收录分属 Science Citation Index Expanded 与 Social Sciences Citation Index，与刊中流行病学和社会研究并存的取向相符。

• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9 and the five-year value 3.2, with a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.57 that places the journal 260th of 443 in public, environmental and occupational health.2025 年期刊影响因子为 1.9，五年值为 3.2，期刊引文指标为 0.57，在公共卫生、环境卫生与职业卫生类别中排名 443 份期刊的第 260 位。

• Values have drifted down over four years, from 3.77 in 2022 to 2.5 in 2023, then 2.0 in 2024 and 1.9 in 2025.四年间数值逐步下行，2022 年为 3.77，2023 年为 2.5，2024 年为 2.0，2025 年为 1.9。

• A typical year brings about 168 articles, the title has drawn some 4598 citations, and close to a quarter of recent output is gold open access.常年发文约 168 篇，累计被引约 4598 次，近年产出中接近四分之一为金色开放获取。

Editors

• Manuscripts pass through an editorial office at BMA House in Tavistock Square, London, where in-house staff work alongside academic editors who hold the subject expertise.稿件经伦敦塔维斯托克广场 BMA House 内的编辑部流转，编辑部职员与具备学科专长的学术编辑一同工作。

• Review is single anonymised, the model BMJ applies across its list, so reviewers see the authors' names while authors never learn who reviewed them.评审采用单匿名方式，这是 BMJ 各刊通用的做法，审稿人能看到作者姓名，作者则始终不知审稿人是谁。

• The board is international, drawing on epidemiology, traffic safety, violence research, paediatrics and health services research, with members spread over several continents.编委会是国际性的，成员来自流行病学，交通安全，暴力研究，儿科学与卫生服务研究，分布于多个大洲。

• Section editors take charge of the main streams, so original research, systematic reviews, study protocols and the policy and practice pages each have a named handler.各栏目由栏目编辑分头把关，原创研究，系统综述，研究方案以及政策与实务版面各有专人负责。

• Statistical advice sits inside the process, and quantitative submissions are checked for the soundness of their design before a decision is issued.统计方面的意见纳入流程之中，定量稿件在给出决定之前会先核查设计的可靠性。

• Submissions enter through ScholarOne, and the guidelines set word limits, structured abstracts and a reporting checklist for each article type.投稿经 ScholarOne 系统提交，指南对各类文章的篇幅、结构式摘要与报告规范清单分别作出规定。

• Commentaries and editorials are mostly commissioned, though the journal also invites short responses to work it has already published.评论与社论多为约稿，该刊也会邀请读者对已刊出的论文作出简短回应。

• Study protocols are reviewed as a category of their own, a policy that lets a design be judged before the data exist.研究方案作为独立类别接受评审，这一做法使设计能在数据出现之前得到评判。

• Editorial conduct follows the guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics, covering corrections, expressions of concern and retraction.编辑行为遵循出版伦理委员会的指南，涉及更正、关注声明与撤稿。

• Members serve in a personal capacity for fixed terms, and the panel is refreshed from time to time so that expertise in road safety, violence and occupational health stays current.编委以个人身份按固定任期任职，名单会不时更新，以使道路安全、暴力与职业健康方面的专长保持更新。
