Journal of Burn Care & Research

Journal of Burn Care & Research is the official journal of the American Burn Association, issued by Oxford University Press, and the only United States periodical given over entirely to burn prevention, burn treatment and recovery.《烧伤护理与研究杂志》是美国烧伤协会（American Burn Association）的会刊，由 Oxford University Press 出版，也是美国唯一一份专门刊载烧伤预防、烧伤治疗与康复内容的期刊。

Its history reaches back to 1980, when the title appeared as the Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, and the volume count has run without a break ever since.该刊的历史可上溯到 1980 年，当时以《烧伤护理与康复杂志》（Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation）之名创刊，卷号此后一直连续编排，未因改名而中断。

The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9 against a five-year figure of 2.0, and six issues a year carry original research, review articles and the abstracts of the association's annual meeting.其 2025 年影响因子为 1.9，五年影响因子为 2.0，每年出版 6 期，刊登原创研究、综述以及协会年会的论文摘要。

Scope

• The stated purpose is to place the latest information on advances in burn prevention, research, education and the delivery of acute care before every member of the burn care team, whether physician, nurse or therapist.刊物自述的宗旨，是把烧伤预防与研究、教育培训以及急性期救治方面的最新进展，送到烧伤救治团队的每一位成员面前，无论其身份是医师、护士还是治疗师。
• Operative papers take in early excision and grafting, wound coverage and burn reconstruction, together with the correction of contracture across joints and the face.手术类论文涉及早期切痂与植皮，也涉及创面覆盖与烧伤后重建，还包括关节与面部挛缩的矫正。
• Acute care is read through fluid resuscitation, airway management and inhalation injury, sepsis surveillance, and the handling of the patient in the intensive care unit.急性期救治的内容围绕液体复苏、气道管理与吸入性损伤展开，也围绕脓毒症监测，以及重症监护病房中的患者处理。
• Prevention and public education hold a standing place, from scald prevention in the home to electrical hazards at work and fire-safe building design.预防与公众教育占据固定位置，从家庭烫伤防范，到工作场所的电气风险，再到防火建筑设计。
• Physical and occupational therapy papers follow splinting, positioning and exercise, and they stay with the patient through the return of function months after discharge.物理治疗与作业治疗类论文关注支具、体位摆放与功能训练，也一路跟踪患者出院数月之后的功能恢复。
• Nutrition and wound healing form their own stream, covering the hypermetabolic response, protein and calorie targets, and the biology of the healed graft site.营养与创面愈合自成一脉，涵盖高代谢反应与蛋白质和热量目标，也涵盖移植愈合部位的生物学。
• Mental health, pain and recovery receive steady attention, including pruritus and sleep, body image, post-traumatic stress, and the social readjustment of survivors.心理健康、疼痛与康复受到持续关注，涉及瘙痒与睡眠，也涉及身体意象与创伤后应激，以及幸存者的社会再适应。
• Health policy and emerging technologies sit beside the clinical papers, taking in access to burn centre care, telemedicine, laser therapy and three-dimensional printing of splints.卫生政策与新兴技术和临床论文并列，涉及烧伤中心服务的可及性、远程医疗、激光治疗，以及支具的三维打印。
• Basic science work examines the pathophysiology of burn shock and the systemic inflammatory response, and it follows wound infection into the immunology of the grafted burn wound.基础研究考察烧伤休克的病理生理与全身炎症反应，也把创面感染一路追到植皮创面的免疫学。
• Epidemiology and outcomes research leans on national burn registry data, so papers on mortality, length of stay and quality improvement sit in the same pages as bench work.流行病学与结局研究依托全国烧伤登记数据，死亡率与住院天数以及质量改进的论文，因此与实验室研究同刊出现。
• Paediatric burns, electrical and chemical injury, frostbite and the care of the elderly patient each carry a literature of their own inside the journal.儿童烧伤、电击伤与化学烧伤，冻伤与老年患者的救治，在刊内各自拥有专门的文献。
• Nursing papers address dressing change and sedation practice, wound assessment, and the coordination of a team that may number twenty people at the bedside.护理类论文讨论换药与镇静实践，也讨论创面评估，以及在床旁可能多达二十人的团队协作。
• Research briefs and expert commentaries give short reports a route to print, while review articles gather a field for readers who work outside the specialty.研究简报与专家评论为短篇报告提供发表途径，综述类文章则为专业之外的读者梳理一个领域。
• Curated virtual collections gather recent work on women in burn research, on clinical practice guidelines, and on the addresses delivered by association presidents.刊物还编有主题虚拟合集，汇集烧伤研究中的女性、临床实践指南，以及协会历任主席演讲方面的近期文章。
• Readership reaches surgery, dermatology, emergency medicine and rehabilitation, which is why one issue can mix an operating room case series with a study of scar outcome.读者遍布外科、皮肤科、急诊医学与康复领域，同一期里既有手术室病例系列，也有瘢痕结局研究。

History

• The journal began in September 1980 as the Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, issued from Lake Forest, Illinois, under the JBC Publishing imprint.该刊于 1980 年 9 月以《烧伤护理与康复杂志》之名创刊，由位于伊利诺伊州莱克福里斯特的 JBC 出版公司印行。
• Twenty-six volumes appeared under that title between 1980 and 2005, and the American Burn Association became the sponsoring body in 1985.1980 年至 2005 年间，这一刊名之下共出 26 卷，美国烧伤协会自 1985 年起成为刊物的主办学会。
• The change of name came with the first issue of 2006, which opened volume 27, so the run carried on rather than restarting from volume one.刊名在 2006 年第一期变更，该期开启第 27 卷，卷号继续往下走，并未从头计数。
• New identifiers were assigned in the same step, 1559-047X for the printed edition and 1559-0488 for the electronic one, and the National Library of Medicine has indexed the title from volume 27, number 1.同一步骤中启用了新的连续出版物编号，印刷版为 1559-047X，电子版为 1559-0488，美国国家医学图书馆从第 27 卷第 1 期起收录该刊。
• For the first twelve years of the new title the journal was set in Hagerstown, Maryland, and published under the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins imprint.新刊名启用后的最初十二年，刊物在 Maryland 州 Hagerstown 印制，出版方署名为 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins。
• Volume 38, completed in 2017, was the last to carry the Lippincott identifier prefix, and volume 39 opened in 2018 under Oxford University Press.2017 年出齐的第 38 卷是最后一批使用 Lippincott 标识前缀的卷期，第 39 卷自 2018 年起改由 Oxford University Press 出版。
• The National Library of Medicine now records Oxford as the place of publication, a move that shifted the imprint from Maryland to England while the editorial work stayed in the United States.美国国家医学图书馆现以牛津作为出版地，出版署名由此从 Maryland 转到英格兰，编辑工作则仍在美国进行。
• Volume numbering kept its pace, with volume 46 covering 2025 and volume 47 covering 2026, nineteen and twenty years after the relaunch.卷号保持原有节奏，第 46 卷对应 2025 年，第 47 卷对应 2026 年，距改名已过十九年与二十年。
• Each volume now holds six numbered issues, and a supplement adds several hundred abstracts from the annual meeting, 352 of them in 2025 and 387 in 2026.每卷现编 6 期，另出一册增刊，收录年会的数百篇摘要，2025 年为 352 篇，2026 年为 387 篇。
• Impact has stayed inside a narrow band, moving from 1.819 in 2022 through 1.5 and 1.8 to 1.9 in 2025.影响因子近年停留在窄幅区间之内，2022 年为 1.819，其后为 1.5 与 1.8，2025 年回到 1.9。
• The Journal Citation Reports place it in three categories, surgery at 145 of 321 in the second quartile, critical care medicine at 43 of 66, and dermatology at 58 of 99.《期刊引证报告》将其列入三个类目，外科学位列 321 种期刊中的第 145 位，属 Q2，危重病医学为 66 种中的第 43 位，皮肤病学为 99 种中的第 58 位。
• Roughly 194 articles appeared in the 2025 count, drawing 5147 citations in total and giving the title a cited half-life of 7.3 years.2025 年统计口径下刊出约 194 篇论文，累计被引 5147 次，被引半衰期为 7.3 年。
• Reading access comes with membership of the association, and members may take a digital-only subscription in place of the printed edition.阅读权限随学会会员资格一并提供，会员也可选择仅数字版，不再接收纸质本。
• In 2024 the articles drew more than 387000 views, a figure the publisher cites when arguing for the reach of the title beyond the burn community.2024 年刊内文章的浏览量为 38.7 万次，出版方以此说明刊物在烧伤专业圈之外也有读者。

Editors

• Jeffrey W. Shupp, a burn surgeon working in Washington, DC, holds the post of editor-in-chief and leads the board named on the association's journal pages.主编由烧伤外科医师（Jeffrey W. Shupp）担任，其工作地点在华盛顿特区，并带领协会刊页上列名的编委会。
• The board draws its members from surgery, rehabilitation, dermatology and nursing, so a manuscript on scar management and one on resuscitation can reach the same panel.编委会成员来自外科、康复、皮肤病学与护理等方向，瘢痕管理与液体复苏两类稿件因此可能由同一组评审处理。
• Every research article is peer reviewed before it appears, and the assessment is made by people who treat burns rather than by generalist editors.所有研究论文在刊出前均经同行评审，评审由实际诊治烧伤患者的专科人员承担，不交由通识型编辑处理。
• Speed is treated as part of the service, with an initial decision reported at 24 days on average and a final decision at about 36 days.处理速度被视为服务的一部分，初审意见平均在 24 天内给出，终审决定约需 36 天。
• Manuscripts are submitted through the Editorial Manager system that the publisher maintains for the title, where files are checked before they reach an editor.稿件通过出版方为该刊维护的 Editorial Manager 系统投递，文件在送达编辑之前先经核查。
• Clinical practice guidelines written under the association's auspices appear as a distinct series, and the publisher keeps them together in a standing collection.学会主持制定的临床实践指南以专门系列的形式发表，出版方另将其汇为常设合集。
• Addresses delivered by successive presidents of the association are printed and then gathered, which leaves the journal with a record of how the field has spoken about itself.协会历任主席的演讲先在刊内发表，其后结集，刊物因此留下一份本领域自我评述的记录。
• Short formats are encouraged, and research briefs, letters and commentaries give preliminary findings and open disputes a place beside the full articles.刊物鼓励短篇体裁，研究简报、读者来信与评论让初步发现和学术争论与完整论文并列出现。
• The annual meeting supplement is compiled apart from the six regular issues, and it carries the abstracts that members read before the sessions begin.年会增刊与 6 期正刊分开编制，收录会员在会议开始之前阅读的论文摘要。
• The editorial line keeps the whole team in view, so a paper on grafting usually speaks to nurses and therapists as much as to surgeons.编辑取向照顾整个救治团队，植皮方面的论文通常同时面向护士、治疗师与外科医师。
