Phycologia

Phycologia is the bimonthly journal of the International Phycological Society, issued for the society by Taylor & Francis and open to every branch of algal study, from the description of a single species to the physiology of a bloom. Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9, which places it 57th among 124 titles in marine and freshwater biology.《藻类学》（Phycologia）是国际藻类学会的双月刊，由 Taylor & Francis 代表学会出版，收录藻类研究的各个分支，从单一物种的描述到藻华的生理机制。2025 年影响因子为 1.9，在海洋与淡水生物学类目 124 种刊物中列第 57 位。

Sixty-five volumes have appeared since 1961, and the 2025 figures credit the run with 3058 citations, 43 citable items in the year and a cited half-life of fifteen years, long for a field that replaces its findings quickly.1961 年至今已出满六十五卷，2025 年统计全刊累计被引 3058 次，当年可引用论文 43 篇，引用半衰期 15 年，在一个结论更新极快的学科里算得上记忆长久。

Scope

• The stated purpose is broad by design. The journal prints information on any aspect of phycology and asks only that a manuscript be unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere, while membership of the society is no condition of publication.办刊宗旨有意写得宽泛，刊物收录藻类学各方面信息的稿件，只要求未曾发表且未在他处审理，学会会员身份不是发表条件。
• Descriptive taxonomy still supplies the largest single share of the pages, and papers announcing a new species or a new combination run through every recent volume rather than arriving as an occasional act.描述性分类学仍占版面最大的一份，提出新种或新组合的论文贯穿近年的各卷，并非偶一为之。
• Red algae dominate that taxonomic traffic, and Rhodophyta carries much of the descriptive work in recent volumes. The coralline genera in particular draw steady attention to calcified morphology, type material and species limits.红藻在这类工作中占主导，近年的描述性研究有相当部分落在红藻上，珊瑚藻类各属尤其受关注，钙化形态、模式材料与种间界限都有持续讨论。
• Cyanobacteria and other prokaryotic algae are treated on the same footing, and papers on their diversity, toxin production and mat-forming ecology sit beside the eukaryotic fare.蓝细菌与其他原核藻类受到同等对待，其多样性、产毒与成席生态的论文同真核藻类研究并列。
• Phytoplankton enters through the diatoms and dinoflagellates, including the toxic species behind domoic acid and other phycotoxins, and through the bloom events that turn a coastal patch of water into news.浮游藻类经硅藻与甲藻两条线进入版面，既包括产生软骨藻酸和其他藻毒素的有毒种，也包括把这类藻推上新闻的藻华事件。
• Phylogeny and molecular systematics run through most of what is printed, with DNA barcoding used to separate cryptic species and to tie old type specimens to living cultures.系统发育与分子系统学贯穿多数论文，DNA 条形码用来区分隐存种，也用来把模式标本同活体培养物对应起来。
• Ecology is represented by bloom dynamics, grazing, host-symbiont relations and the spread of introduced seaweeds, with Rugulopteryx okamurae among the invaders that have drawn repeated attention.生态学一面有藻华动态、摄食关系、宿主与共生体的联系，以及外来海藻的扩散，入侵种 Rugulopteryx okamurae 就曾多次成为题目。
• Physiology and biochemistry cover photosynthesis under stress, lipid and pigment composition, and secondary metabolites along with the responses that let an alga hold its place on a shore through a heatwave.生理学与生物化学覆盖逆境下的光合作用、脂类与色素的组成，以及次生代谢产物和藻类在热浪中守住潮间带位置所依赖的反应。
• Cell biology and morphology, together with reproduction and life history, remain central, because the alternation of generations in seaweeds still resists a general account and every culture study adds a case.细胞生物学与形态学以及繁殖和生活史仍居中心，海藻的世代交替至今没有统一解释，每一项培养研究都补上一个案例。
• Genomics and transcriptomics have arrived more slowly, yet organelle genomes, gene expression under cultivation stress and the assembly of algal genomes now appear at a modest but steady rate.基因组学与转录组学进入得较慢，细胞器基因组、培养胁迫下的基因表达，以及藻类基因组组装，如今以不多却稳定的数量出现。
• Biogeography and floristics carry regional accounts, first records and range extensions, many of them by-products of survey work in the eastern Mediterranean, the north-west Pacific or the Southern Ocean.生物地理学与区系学承载地区性整理、新记录与分布扩展，多来自地中海东部、西北太平洋或南大洋的调查。
• Applied work covers cultivation and hatchery practice, bioactivity in extracts and the uses of algae as feed and food, and the upkeep of culture collections, a practical strand that has always had room in the journal.应用研究覆盖栽培与育苗，也覆盖活性提取物和饲料与食品用途，以及培养物保藏的维护，这一取向在刊物里一直有位置。
• Freshwater and terrestrial algae share the scope with marine ones, so a paper on aerophytic cyanobacteria from a desert crust can sit beside a study of kelp forest canopies.淡水藻与陆生藻同海洋藻类共享版面，荒漠结皮上的气生蓝细菌与海藻林冠层的研究可以并列。
• Methods papers are taken when a technique changes what can be seen, and short notes carry single findings, nomenclatural acts or a small correction of record that could not fill a full article.方法论文收的是那些改变观察能力的技术，短篇札记承载单项发现、命名动作或简短的订正，篇幅不足以写成正式论文。

History

• Volume 1 appeared in 1961 with twenty papers in four numbers, two of them bound together, and the whole volume closed inside a single year.第 1 卷在 1961 年出齐，二十篇论文分四期刊登，其中两期合为一册，整卷在同一年内结束。
• The journal was created as the organ of the International Phycological Society, and the society has held the copyright of every accepted paper since, a clause still printed in the aims.刊物自创办即为国际藻类学会的会刊，每篇录用论文的版权归学会所有，这一条至今写在宗旨里。
• Printing and distribution were handled from Lawrence, Kansas, where the society kept a business office at a post office box and Allen Press set the type, an arrangement that lasted for decades.印刷与发行长期以堪萨斯州劳伦斯为基地，学会在当地的邮政信箱设业务处，由 Allen Press 排印，这一安排延续了数十年。
• Early volumes were thin, volume 7 (1968) carrying sixteen papers and volume 8 (1969) thirty-eight, and only in the late 1970s did a volume regularly pass seventy items.早期各卷偏薄，第 7 卷（1968）只有十六篇，第 8 卷（1969）三十八篇，到 1970 年代后期每卷才稳定超过七十篇。
• A four-number volume took shape in the 1970s, volumes 13 to 29 running to four issues a year, with two of them still combined whenever a year came up short.四期的格局在 1970 年代定型，第 13 卷至第 29 卷大体每年四期，年份偏短时仍把两期合成一册。
• Volume 30 opened in 1991 with six numbers, the bimonthly rhythm the journal still keeps, and only supplements and combined issues have broken that count since.1991 年第 30 卷改为每年六期，双月刊的节奏沿用至今，此后只有增刊和合刊打破过这个数目。
• A separate electronic ISSN, 2330-2968, sits beside the print number 0031-8884, and a subscriber may take either form.网络版另有一个刊号 2330-2968，与纸本 0031-8884 并行，订户可以只取其一。
• The publisher changed at volume 58, whose numbers run from 2018 into 2019. Every article up to volume 57 is registered under the prefix 10.2216, and from that volume on the DOIs carry 10.1080, the mark of Taylor & Francis.出版方在第 58 卷交接，该卷的期次从 2018 年跨入 2019 年。第 57 卷以前的文章登记在 10.2216 前缀下，此后改用 10.1080，那是 Taylor & Francis 的标识。
• The backfile stayed where it was, so a reader following one citation from 1975 and another from 2024 crosses two prefixes inside a single run of volumes.过刊留在原处，读者沿一条引文从 1975 年追到 2024 年，会在同一套连续卷号里跨过两个前缀。
• Impact factors over the last five years read 2.857 for 2021, 3.088 for 2022, 1.5 for 2023, 1.4 for 2024 and 1.9 for 2025, against a five-year figure of 1.7.近五年影响因子依次为 2021 年 2.857，2022 年 3.088，2023 年 1.5，2024 年 1.4，2025 年 1.9，五年影响因子为 1.7。
• The 2025 rankings place the title 57th of 124 in marine and freshwater biology (Q2) and 145th of 285 in plant sciences (Q3), for a composite percentile of 54.4.2025 年排名为海洋与淡水生物学 124 种中第 57 位（Q2），植物科学 285 种中第 145 位（Q3），综合百分位 54.4。
• Output has narrowed. Volume 46 (2007) lists ninety items, while the 2025 count records forty-three citable papers, so a shorter annual list now sits inside a longer citation memory.载文量在收缩，2007 年第 46 卷有九十篇，2025 年可引用论文为 43 篇，名单变短的同时，引用记录里的记忆变长了。
• A cited half-life of fifteen years is unusual for a biological journal, and it reflects the way taxonomic and floristic papers go on being consulted long after the excitement of publication has passed.引用半衰期 15 年，在生物学期刊里并不常见，分类与区系论文在发表热度过去之后仍被查阅，半衰期因此被拉长。
• Access remains subscription-based with an open option on individual articles, and gold open access accounted for 6.47 per cent of the 2025 papers.发行仍以订阅为主，单篇可以付费开放，2025 年金色开放获取论文占 6.47%。
• Numbering has never restarted, so the run that began in 1961 stands at volume 65 for 2026, sixty-five volumes without a gap or a parallel series.卷号从未重起，1961 年开始的那一套到 2026 年排到第 65 卷，六十五卷中间没有断档，也没有另起一套编号。

Editors

• Editorial authority rests with an editor-in-chief, who sees every submission through to a final decision, while an associate editor takes charge of a manuscript from assignment to recommendation.编辑权集中于主编，主编过目每一篇来稿并作出最终决定，副编辑则从分派到提出建议负责单篇稿件。
• The published policy states that two or more referees, an associate editor and the editor-in-chief usually see each manuscript, and that a paper failing the journal's standards may be rejected without review.公开的评审政策写明，每篇稿件通常经两名以上评审人、一位副编辑与主编之手，达不到刊物标准的稿件可以不送审直接退稿。
• Referees weigh international significance and scientific merit first, then accuracy and logic, then clarity and organisation, and last the quality and integration of photographs, graphs and tables.评审人先看国际意义与科学价值，再看准确与逻辑，其次看表达的清晰和结构，最后看照片、图与表的品质及其与正文的配合。
• That order suits a journal in which a new species stands or falls on its plates, since a description can be no more reliable than the images behind it.四项标准的次序契合这本刊物的性格，新种成立与否常取决于图版，描述的可靠性不会高过支撑它的图像。
• A manuscript receives an identifying number on upload, and all correspondence about it runs through the publisher's online submission system rather than by post or private email.稿件上传后即获得编号，此后一切往来都经出版方的在线投稿系统进行，不走邮寄和私人邮件。
• Production, copy-editing, proofs and permissions belong to Taylor & Francis, while the scientific decisions stay with the society's editors, a division that keeps the editorial office small.排版与文字编辑，以及校样和授权，都由出版方 Taylor & Francis 承担，学术判断留在学会的编辑手里，编辑部因此得以精简。
• Research papers form the bulk of each issue, while shorter contributions carry a single finding, a nomenclatural act or a range extension that would be lost inside a longer article.研究论文构成每期主体，较短的稿件承载单项发现、命名动作或分布扩展，这些内容放进长文会被淹没。
• Each issue carries a short "About the Cover" item that explains the photograph on the front, a habit that gives the editors a place to name the photographer and the species shown.每期有一条简短的封面说明，解释封面上那幅照片的来历，编者借此写出摄影者与所摄物种的名字。
• Corrections and retractions follow the publisher's ethics policy and appear as separate items linked to the paper they repair, so the published record stays traceable.更正与撤稿依出版方的伦理政策处理，作为独立条目刊出并与原文互相链接，记录因此可以追溯。
• Because the society holds the copyright of every accepted paper, an author's assignment runs to the society, a term the aims state in a single sentence and one that shapes how reprints and permissions are handled.学会持有每篇录用论文的版权，作者的转让因此指向学会，宗旨用一句话写明这一点，重印与许可的处理也随之而定。
• Recent issues set floristic work from Egypt and the Russian Far East beside studies from Europe and North America, and that spread is what the editors expect rather than an exception.近年的期次把埃及与俄罗斯远东的区系研究同欧美的论文放在一处，这种分布正是刊物期待的常态。
