Scope

• Breeding and hatcheries open the scope, and the pair is listed as one subject rather than two.育种与孵化场开在宗旨最前，两者合成一个题目列出，而不是两个。

• Health and disease come next, covering both the diagnostic and the control side of flock medicine.健康与疾病紧随其后，覆盖群体医学的诊断与控制两端。

• Layer management has its own line, so table-egg production is treated separately from meat birds.蛋鸡管理单列一行，蛋品生产与肉禽因此分开处理。

• Meat bird management follows, and processing and products appear as a further heading.肉禽管理接在后面，加工与产品另占一个题目。

• The chain is covered end to end, from the hatchery through the processing plant.整条链条从头到尾都在，从孵化场一直到加工厂。

• Microbiology and food safety are named separately, and in practice the two are read as one line of work.微生物学与食品安全分开列名，实际读起来是同一条工作线。

• Nutrition is a full subject here, with diet formulation and feed additives inside it rather than at the edge.营养在这里是一个正经题目，配方与饲料添加剂在里头，不在边上。

• Environment and sanitation are given as two items, which suits a journal about housing, litter and ventilation.环境与卫生分作两项，对一本讲禽舍，垫料与通风的刊物很合适。

• Welfare sits beside them, and the wording treats it as a production question rather than a separate ethical one.福利列在它们旁边，措辞把它当作生产问题，而不是另立的伦理问题。

• Economics closes the list, which is unusual for a poultry journal and pulls cost per bird into the scope.经济学排在末尾，这对家禽类刊物少见，把每只禽的成本拉进了宗旨。

• Applied work is the point, so a paper has to answer a question that a farm, a hatchery or a plant would actually ask.应用是这份刊物的立身点，稿子要能回答养殖场，孵化场或加工厂真会问的问题。

• Field reports are taken alongside original research, which lets data from commercial flocks in without a trial design behind them.田间报告与原创研究并列接收，商业禽群的数据没有试验设计也能进来。

• Reviews are accepted too, and they are expected to gather a scattered literature rather than restate a textbook.综述同样收，期望是把散落的文献收拢，不是复述教科书。

• The readership is producers, veterinarians, nutritionists and processing staff rather than laboratory biologists.读者是养殖者，兽医，营养师与加工环节的人员，不是实验室生物学家。

• Genetics papers appear when a finding bears on a breeding programme, not for the sake of the gene itself.遗传学论文在结论能落到育种方案上时才出现，不为基因本身而写。

• Housing and ventilation studies land under environment, and heat stress work usually arrives by the same door.禽舍与通风研究归在环境名下，热应激的稿子多也从这道门进来。

• Flock health surveys and diagnostic case series have a home as well, which keeps surveillance work inside the journal.禽群健康调查与诊断病例系列也有位置，监测类工作因此留在刊内。

• Alternatives to antibiotics sit across nutrition and health, and papers on them often span two headings at once.抗生素替代品横跨营养与健康两个题目，相关论文常常一处占两栏。

• Chick quality and incubation are read as applied problems, so a hatchery trial is welcome when it ends in a management recommendation.雏禽质量与孵化按应用问题来读，孵化试验只要最后给出管理建议就受欢迎。

History

• The journal started in 1992, and the National Library of Medicine records that year as its first.刊物 1992 年起步，美国国立医学图书馆把这一年记为起始。

• Volume numbers run one behind the calendar year, so 2026 is volume 35 and 2025 was volume 34.卷号比日历年小一，2026 年是第 35 卷，2025 年是第 34 卷。

• Volume 34 carried 127 items in 2025, spread over four issues.第 34 卷 2025 年收 127 项，分散在四期里。

• Volume 35 has 156 items recorded for 2026, a marked rise for a single year.第 35 卷 2026 年已记录 156 项，单年涨幅明显。

• Four issues a year is the pattern that holds across both of those volumes.一年四期是这两卷共同保持的节奏。

• Production moved to Elsevier at the 2020 volume, and the DOI prefix changed with the move.2020 年那一卷起改由 Elsevier 承制，DOI 前缀随之更换。

• Before that the addresses read 10.3382, and from 2020 they read 10.1016.此前编号以 10.3382 开头，2020 年起改成 10.1016。

• The Crossref publisher field was rewritten to Elsevier for earlier years as well, so the prefix is the cleaner mark of the switch.Crossref 里的出版方字段连旧年份也被改成 Elsevier，所以前缀才是更干净的切换证据。

• Open access was recorded from 2020, the same year the production change took effect.开放获取从 2020 年记起，与承制方更换是同一年。

• The licence in Crossref is CC BY-NC-ND, and it has been that at least since 2018.Crossref 里的许可是 CC BY-NC-ND，至少从 2018 年起就是如此。

• Impact history is short and uneven, running 1.178 in 2021, 2.162 in 2022, 1.6 in 2023, 2.0 in 2024 and 2.3 in 2025.影响因子的历史短且不平，2021 年 1.178，2022 年 2.162，2023 年 1.6，2024 年 2.0，2025 年 2.3。

• The 2022 rise and the 2023 fall sit close together, which is what a small citable base does to a yearly figure.2022 年的涨与 2023 年的落挨得很近，可引基数小，年度数字就容易这样摆。

• Total citations stand at 3,934 for the 2025 measurement year, against 126 articles counted.2025 测量年的总被引 3934 次，计入文章 126 篇。

• Gold open access covers every article, so the 100 percent figure is not a rounding.金色开放获取覆盖每一篇，100% 这个数字不是四舍五入的结果。

• The article influence score is 0.308 at rank 41 of 84, lower than the impact factor placing would suggest.论文影响力得分 0.308，84 种刊里排第 41，比影响因子给出的位次低。

• One issue number in the 2026 record is empty, so a few papers carry a volume and no issue at all.2026 年的记录里有一处期号为空，少数论文只有卷号没有期号。

• Citations per article work out at about thirty one, which is modest for a title that prints well over a hundred papers a year.篇均被引约 31 次，对一份年发文过百的刊物来说这一项算温和。

Editors

• Brian Fairchild at the University of Georgia is the editor in chief.主编是佐治亚大学的 Brian Fairchild。

• Nutrition is carried by three editors, John Boney at Penn State, Milan Hruby at ADM and Michael Persia at Virginia Tech.营养由三位编辑分担，宾州州立的 John Boney，ADM 的 Milan Hruby 与弗吉尼亚理工的 Michael Persia。

• An industry nutritionist and a regulatory scientist sit among the editors, which is rare for a journal of this size.编辑里有产业界营养师与监管机构科学家，这种规模的刊物不多见。

• Review is single anonymous, the first decision takes about 31 days and acceptance to online takes about one.评审为单匿名，首次决定约 31 天，录用后上线约一天。

• A decision after review takes 76 days on the publisher figures, and acceptance takes 128.按出版方数字，送审后决定 76 天，到录用 128 天。

• The turnarounds are published as medians, so a difficult paper can sit much longer than the headline figure.这些时效按中位数公布，难处理的稿子可能比公布数字久得多。
