History

• The International Microwave Power Institute was founded in 1966 to serve people working on non-communication uses of microwave and radio-frequency energy, and the journal appeared in the same year.国际微波功率学会成立于 1966 年，服务于从事微波与射频非通信应用的人们，该刊同年创刊。

• Volume 1 came out in 1966 under a shorter title, its first issue still listed in the archive under that title, and the institute published it from Edmonton in Alberta.第 1 卷于 1966 年以较短的刊名出刊，档案里第一期至今仍署着那个刊名，出版方是位于加拿大阿尔伯塔省埃德蒙顿的学会

• Volume 20 of 1985 brought a longer title that added Electromagnetic Energy to it, and the imprint moved to Vienna in Virginia, where the institute was based.1985 年的第 20 卷启用加长的刊名，在原名后添上电磁能量，出版地同时迁到学会所在的弗吉尼亚州维也纳。

• The volume count tracks the years closely, volume 20 falling in 1985 and volume 43 in 2008, but the year 2009 passed without a volume, so volume 44 came in 2010 and volume 60 in 2026.卷数与年份大体对应，第 20 卷见于 1985 年，第 43 卷见于 2008 年，只是 2009 年没有出卷，第 44 卷推迟到 2010 年，第 60 卷则是 2026 年

• Print issues ran to volume 47 number 4 in 2013, when the printed journal stopped, and the title has appeared online since, with a print copy assembled by volume at the end of each year.印刷版止于 2013 年的第 47 卷第 4 期，此后该刊只在网上发行，纸质合订本在每年年末按卷装订。

• The National Library of Medicine lists MEDLINE and PubMed coverage for the present title from volume 20 number 1 in 1985 through volume 47 number 4 in 2013, the entries stop there, and the journal left both indexes after that year.美国国家医学图书馆为现行刊名记录的 MEDLINE 与 PubMed 区间自 1985 年第 20 卷第 1 期到 2013 年第 47 卷第 4 期，收录到此为止，2013 年之后该刊不再进入这两套索引。

• Index Medicus and the earlier MEDLINE entries cover the run under the first title, from volume 12 number 1 in 1977 to volume 19 in 1984, which fills the years before the title was extended.在最初的刊名下，Index Medicus 与更早的 MEDLINE 记录覆盖自 1977 年第 12 卷第 1 期到 1984 年第 19 卷，正好填上刊名延长之前的那些年。
