Journal of Voice is the publication of the Voice Foundation, and the foundation calls it the world's premiere journal for voice medicine and research.《Journal of Voice》是嗓音基金会的出版物，基金会自己把它称作世界上首屈一指的嗓音医学与研究刊物。
Four territories make up the subject and the journal names all four. Voice science, voice medicine and surgery, the management of voice problems by speech-language pathologists, and voice pedagogy.这门学问有四块地盘，刊物把四块都点了出来。嗓音科学、嗓音医学与外科、言语病理师对嗓音问题的处置，以及嗓音教学法。
Three kinds of paper carry the content. Clinical articles, clinical research and laboratory research, and the journal states the trio in that order.承载内容的是三类稿子。临床文章、临床研究与实验室研究，刊物就是按这个次序报的。
The readership is interdisciplinary by construction. A laryngologist, a speech-language pathologist and a singing teacher can all find their own literature in the same issue.读者群本来就是跨学科的。喉科医生、言语病理师与声乐教师，能在同一期里各找到自己那一行的文献。
Surgery is measured by what it does to the voice. A 2026 paper follows voice change after endoscopic or robotic hemithyroidectomy, and another compares quality of life after partial and total laryngectomy.外科用它对嗓音的影响来衡量。2026 年有篇论文追踪内镜或机器人辅助甲状腺半切术后的嗓音变化，另一篇比较部分喉切除与全喉切除后的生活质量。
Laboratory work keeps a place beside the clinic. Hyoid movement and its effect on vocal fold and false fold configuration were studied in excised human larynges in the same volume.实验室工作在医院旁边保住了位置。同一卷里有人在离体人喉上研究舌骨运动，以及它对声带与假声带形态的影响。
Singing is treated as a research subject rather than a fringe. Acoustic structure of laryngeal position, resonance and vocal openness in classical singing appeared in 2026, fifty years after the journal's predecessor began recording the same questions.歌唱被当作研究对象而不是边角料。古典唱法里喉位、共鸣与开放音色的声学结构 2026 年还有人写，而刊物的前身记录同类问题已经是五十年前。
Occupational voice gets its own studies. A prevalence survey of voice problems among primary and secondary school teachers ran beside an acoustic analysis of call centre operators.职业用嗓有自己的研究。中小学教师嗓音问题的患病率调查，与呼叫中心坐席员的声学分析并排出现。
Measurement development is a regular item. A laryngeal dystonia atlas of regions of interest was released as a validated tool, and an acoustic roughness index was cross-validated in Korean.测量工具的开发是常规项目。一套面向喉部肌张力障碍的感兴趣区图谱作为验证过的工具发布，另有一个声学粗糙度指数在韩语里做了交叉验证。
Treatment comparisons appear with controls. Botulinum toxin against steroid injection for recurrent laryngeal contact granuloma was compared directly, and nebulisation for voice was examined in a scoping review.治疗比较带着对照出场。复发性喉接触性肉芽肿上，肉毒毒素与类固醇注射被直接对照，嗓音雾化治疗则做了一份范围综述。
Online-only material is paginated with an e. Ranges in the current volume look like 1528.e29 to 1528.e35, so supplementary articles sit inside the volume's page count without occupying print pages.只在线发表的内容用 e 分页。现行卷里的页码写成 1528.e29 到 1528.e35 这样，补充文章算在卷内页数里，却不占印刷页。
Most papers reach readers before the issue does. Of the hundred latest records, 75 carry no volume or issue.多数论文在进期号之前就到了读者手里。最新一百条记录里，75 条没有卷号也没有期号。
Teams are clinical in size. The hundred latest average 4.5 authors, the largest carries thirteen, and the smallest items are corrigenda with none at all.作者队伍是临床规模。最新一百条平均 4.5 位作者，最多的挂了十三位，最小的一类是勘误，一位作者都没有。
Basic acoustic description still earns space. Pitch, abduction quotient and breathing were measured together in the first volume, and the same variables are still being reported four decades later.基础声学描述仍占版面。第 1 卷里就把音高、外展商数与呼吸放在一起测，四十年后同样的变量还在报。
History
The first volume appeared in 1987 and carried three issues. Sataloff, who is still editor-in-chief, wrote a two-part piece on the professional voice in that volume.首卷 1987 年出版，出了三期。如今仍在任主编的 Sataloff 当年就在这一卷里写了两篇关于职业嗓音的文章。
The journal did not start from nothing. Its antecedent was the Transcripts of the Annual Symposium on Care of the Professional Voice, published through the decade before.这份刊物不是凭空起家。它的前身是《职业嗓音护理年度研讨会记录》，在此前十来年里持续出版。
Volume numbering has run unbroken since 1987. The foundation marked the thirtieth volume in 2016, and 2026 is volume 40.卷号从 1987 年起没有断过。基金会 2016 年纪念了第 30 卷，2026 年是第 40 卷。
Publishing moved with the medical industry. Raven Press in New York brought out the first volume, Mosby in St. Louis took over in 2003, and Elsevier now prints it.出版方跟着医学出版业一起搬家。第 1 卷由纽约的 Raven Press 出，2003 年换成圣路易斯的 Mosby，如今由 Elsevier 承印。
Frequency changed once and then settled. The journal went bimonthly in 2007, with issues in January, March, May, July, September and November.期数改过一次就定住了。2007 年起改成双月刊，出在一月、三月、五月、七月、九月与十一月。
Electronic deposit reaches back to the beginning. Crossref holds 7,137 records, and the earliest of them sit in volume 1 with the 1987 date attached.电子存录一直回溯到创刊。Crossref 里有 7,137 条记录，最早的那批就在第 1 卷，日期写着 1987 年。
The impact factor has held in the low twos. It read 2.009 in 2021, 2.3 in 2022, 2.5 in 2023, 2.4 in 2024 and 2.3 in 2025.影响因子一直在二点几。2021 年是 2.009，2022 年 2.3，2023 年 2.5，2024 年 2.4，2025 年 2.3。
The five-year figure equals the current one at 2.4, and the cited half-life is 9.2 years. A clinical paper from a decade ago still pays its way.五年影响因子与当年值同为 2.4，半衰期 9.2 年。十年前的临床论文还在替刊物挣引用。
Two categories take the title at different levels. It sits at 13 of 67 in otorhinolaryngology and at 11 of 35 in audiology and speech-language pathology, first quartile in one and second in the other.两个类目收它的位置不一样。耳鼻喉科 67 种里排第 13，听力学与言语病理 35 种里排第 11，一个是第一四分位，一个是第二。
The 2025 volume carried 354 articles on a citation base of 10,026, and the immediacy index of 1.4 is high for a clinical journal.2025 年一卷有 354 篇论文，引用基数 10,026 次，即时指数 1.4，对临床刊物来说偏高。
Most readers reach the journal through a subscription. Gold open access is 6.62 percent, so almost every paper sits behind a paywall at publication.多数读者通过订阅拿到刊物。金色开放获取占 6.62%，几乎每篇论文在出版时都落在付费墙后。
Indexing lagged the first volume by six years. MEDLINE took the title from volume 7 issue 1 in March 1993, and Index Medicus followed.收录比首卷晚了六年。MEDLINE 从 1993 年 3 月的第 7 卷第 1 期起收，《医学索引》随后跟上。
The medical library still lists the journal as quarterly. Two decades of bimonthly issues have not changed that entry.医学图书馆仍把它著录成季刊。二十年来的双月刊没有改动那条著录。
Editors
Robert Thayer Sataloff holds the editor-in-chief title, and his credentials carry a double strand: doctorate of medicine and doctorate of musical arts, with fellowship of the American College of Surgeons behind both.主编是 Robert Thayer Sataloff，医学博士与音乐艺术博士两个学位并挂，后头还带着美国外科医师学会的院籍。
That pairing explains the journal. An editor who has sung professionally and operates on larynges can hold laboratory acoustics and operatic pedagogy in the same frame.这个组合解释了这份刊物。一个既在台上唱过又给喉做过手术的主编，能把实验室声学与歌剧教学法放进同一个框里。
Sataloff was in the first volume, not only on the masthead. His two-part treatment of the professional voice opened a line of papers that still runs through volume 40.Sataloff 在第 1 卷里就有文章，不只是挂在名单上。他那两篇论职业嗓音的文章开出的一条线，一直贯穿到第 40 卷。
Melanie Culhane holds the managing editor post. The office work, from receipt to proofs, runs through her.Melanie Culhane 任执行编辑。从收稿到校样这一段办公室工作，都由她这条线走。
The editorial office is not in a publisher building. It sits at 219 Broad Street in Philadelphia, inside the Voice Foundation, and correspondence goes to journal@voicefoundation.org.编辑部不在出版方的大楼里。它在费城百老汇街 219 号，就在嗓音基金会内部，通信发往 journal@voicefoundation.org。
The board is described by the foundation as leading figures in the scientific and medical voice professions. The phrase is vague because the professions themselves are several.基金会把编委会描述为嗓音科学与医学界的领军人物。这句话含糊，是因为这些专业本身就有好几个。
The foundation runs the symposium the journal grew out of, and the two feed each other. Papers presented at Care of the Professional Voice regularly reach print afterwards.基金会仍在办刊物从中长出来的那个研讨会，两头互相供料。在职业嗓音护理会议上宣过的文章，之后常进到纸上。
A best-papers list has run since 2007. The foundation names the papers it considers the strongest of each year, and the list is now two decades long.最佳论文名单从 2007 年一直排到现在。基金会每年点出它认为最硬的几篇，这张单子已经积了二十年。
Peer review is stated plainly and without embellishment. The publication is peer-reviewed, listed in Index Medicus and indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information.评审的事说得直白，没有修饰。刊物经同行评审，被《医学索引》收录，也进科学信息研究所的索引。
Referees are drawn from the same pool as authors. A paper on singing acoustics and a paper on laryngeal surgery need different readers, and the board is built to supply both.审稿人与作者出自同一个池子。一篇讲歌唱声学的稿子与一篇讲喉外科的稿子要不同的读者，编委会就是为两头都供人而搭的。
The journal is sold by a commercial publisher and owned by a charity. Elsevier prints and distributes, the Voice Foundation keeps the editorial line, and the split has held for four decades.刊物由商业出版方销售，所有权在慈善机构。Elsevier 负责印制与发行，嗓音基金会守编辑方向，这个分工维持了四十年。
Nothing on the masthead is a full-time appointment. The editor-in-chief still sees patients, the managing editor runs an office, and the journal's calibre rests on the hours they give it.名单上没有一个是专职。主编照样出诊，执行编辑管着一间办公室，刊物的水准立在他们挪出的时间上。
