Scope

• Its declared focus is the broad panoply of non-Parkinsonian movement disorders, giving centre stage to clinical observation and research on hyperkinesia while most competing titles stay with hypokinesia and parkinsonism.刊物自述的重心是非帕金森性运动障碍的完整谱系，把临床观察与运动增多的研究放到中心，多数同类期刊仍以运动减少和帕金森综合征为主。
• Tremor holds a special place inside that remit, described on the journal's own pages as the most common movement disorder and as a subject no other publication makes a central focus of scholarly communication.震颤在这一范围里占特殊位置，刊物页面称其为最常见的运动障碍，并称尚无其他出版物把它当作学术传播的中心议题。
• Phenomenology is treated as evidence rather than ornament, and video carries much of the argument through a standing video library, three minute video abstracts and a Teaching NeuroImages section built on a single examination finding.现象学在这里被当作证据而非装饰，论证常由影像承担，刊物设有常设视频库、三分钟视频摘要，以及围绕单一检查发现展开的教学神经影像栏目。
• Dystonia appears in focal and generalised forms alike, from blepharospasm and cervical dystonia to task specific cramps, with surgical series close behind the clinical descriptions.肌张力障碍以局灶型与全身型两种面貌出现，从眼睑痉挛与颈部肌张力障碍到任务特异性痉挛，外科系列研究紧随临床描述之后。
• Chorea and its relatives get room as well, among them Huntington disease, paroxysmal dyskinesias, tardive syndromes and the immune and metabolic choreas that surface in case reports.舞蹈症及其近亲同样有版面，包括亨廷顿病、阵发性运动障碍、迟发性综合征，以及病例报告里出现的免疫性与代谢性舞蹈症。
• Tics and Tourette syndrome form a recurring strand, carrying treatment trials, phenomenology and the comorbidity questions that decide how a tic disorder is managed in clinic.抽动与抽动秽语综合征构成反复出现的一条线，带来治疗试验、现象学，以及决定临床处理方式的共病问题。
• Myoclonus, orthostatic tremor, palatal tremor and hemifacial spasm turn up often enough that the journal works as an archive of unusual hyperkinetic phenomenology.肌阵挛、直立性震颤、腭震颤与面肌痉挛出现得足够频繁，刊物因此成了少见运动增多现象的存档处。
• Essential tremor sits at the centre, and the reclassification of essential tremor plus, together with the rating scales used to grade severity, has been argued out in these pages.特发性震颤居于中心，特发性震颤叠加型的重新分类，连同用于分级严重程度的评定量表，都在这里被反复讨论。
• Deep brain stimulation and lesional surgery are covered as clinical science, and a quarterly DBS Case Files series pairs a clinical vignette with expert commentary on the gaps in the evidence.脑深部电刺激与毁损手术按临床科学处理，另有按季刊出的 DBS 病例档案系列，每篇以一个临床情境配专家评论，指出证据中的缺口。
• Genetics, epidemiology and pathophysiology are welcome, from family studies of tremor to animal models in which a drug provokes tremor to test a circuit hypothesis.遗传学、流行病学与病理生理学同样受欢迎，从震颤的家系研究，到用药物诱发震颤以检验环路假说的动物模型。
• Rating scales and outcome measures have their own following, the Tremor Research Group's TETRAS among them, and reliability studies of such instruments are handled as substantive science.评定量表与结局指标自有一批读者，震颤研究组的 TETRAS 量表即在其中，这类工具的信度研究被当作实质科学对待。
• Pharmacological trials arrive as full articles or brief reports, clinical trial reports must follow CONSORT, and the sponsor relationship has to be set out in the cover letter.药物试验以全文或简报形式出现，临床试验报告须遵循 CONSORT 规范，申办方与作者之间的财务关系要在投稿信里写明。
• Imaging and neurophysiology supply the technical side, from tremor oscillation recorded at the bedside to cerebellar and basal ganglia circuits mapped in the scanner.影像与神经生理撑起技术一侧，从床旁记录的震颤振荡，到扫描仪里勾画的小脑与基底节环路。
• Functional movement disorders and other contested categories are not shut out, and the case report format keeps a place for one patient who makes a clear point.功能性运动障碍与其他尚有争议的分类并未被排除在外，病例报告这一体裁为能说明一个明确问题的单个患者留了位置。
• Special collections are welcomed and published inside the normal volume as well as on a separate collection page, so a thematic series never breaks the annual run.专题合集受到欢迎，既编入常规卷次，也单设合集页面，主题系列因此不会打断年度卷次的完整。

History

• Volume 1 carries 2011 and the earliest deposited papers bear August 2011 dates, so the founding year opens a run of volumes that has never paused.第 1 卷标为 2011 年，最早存档的论文署 2011 年 8 月，创刊年正是这条从未中断的卷次线的起点。
• The title was started by Elan D. Louis, who still edits it, and the ownership statement puts the name, the branding and the intellectual property with him and the Editorial Board.刊物由（Elan D. Louis）创办，他至今仍在主编任上，权属声明把刊名、品牌与知识产权归于他本人和编委会。
• The first imprint was New York, at Columbia University Libraries' Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, a name the NLM catalog still attaches to the early volumes.最初的出版单位为纽约的哥伦比亚大学图书馆数字研究与学术中心，美国国家医学图书馆的刊目记录里，早期卷次仍挂着这一名称。
• Ubiquity Press has run the title from the first volume, and what changes in 2020 is the address on record, the New York entry giving way to the publisher's East London office while the DOI stem holds.Ubiquity Press 自第 1 卷起就承办此刊，2020 年改动的只是登记地址，纽约的条目让位于该社的东伦敦办公处，DOI 词干并未变动。
• One volume has appeared every year without a gap, which makes 2026 volume 16 and leaves the numbering untouched by restart or skip.每年一卷，中间没有断档，2026 年为第 16 卷，卷号既未重起也未跳号。
• Each volume is at the same time a single issue published continuously, and articles are posted once they are ready rather than held back for a closing date.每卷同时就是一册连续出版的期，文章一就绪即上线，不必等到某一期截稿。
• Crossref holds four items dated 2011 and forty six across 2011 and 2012, a measure of how small the first two volumes were.Crossref 里标 2011 年的条目只有 4 条，2011 与 2012 两年合计 46 条，最初两卷的规模由此可见。
• Growth came later. Sixty three items carry 2024 dates, sixty six carry 2025, and sixty one had already appeared for 2026 by late October.规模是后来才上来的，标 2024 年的条目 63 条，标 2025 年的 66 条，2026 年到 10 月下旬已有 61 条。
• Every article carries a DOI under the 10.5334 prefix from the first volume, so the change of address in 2020 left citation practice untouched.从第 1 卷起，每篇文章都在 10.5334 前缀下注册 DOI，2020 年的地址变更并未牵动引用方式。
• PubMed and PubMed Central have carried the journal since 2011, MEDLINE took it up in 2017, and the clinical readership widened well before an impact factor existed.PubMed 与 PubMed Central 自 2011 年起收录，MEDLINE 于 2017 年接入，临床读者面在影响因子出现之前就已扩大。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor stands at 1.9, below 2.1 in 2024 and 2.5 in 2023, with a five year figure of 2.4 and a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.51.2025 年影响因子为 1.9，低于 2024 年的 2.1 与 2023 年的 2.5，五年影响因子 2.4，期刊引文指标 0.51。
• Citations to the back catalogue total 1,323 and the cited half life reaches 6.3 years, the profile of a small title whose older papers keep being used.累计被引 1323 次，被引半衰期 6.3 年，这一侧写落在体量不大、旧文却持续被使用的刊物身上。
• Scopus records a CiteScore of 3.0 for 2025 and places the journal 236th of 403 in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, while Scimago gives an SJR of 0.524 and an h index of 37.Scopus 给出的 2025 年 CiteScore 为 3.0，在心脏病与心血管医学类 403 种期刊中排第 236 位，Scimago 记录的 SJR 为 0.524，h 指数为 37。
• Open access has been total rather than optional, with gold status at 100 per cent, authors keeping copyright and each paper issued under CC-BY.开放获取是全部而非可选项，金色开放获取比例 100%，作者保留版权，所有论文按 CC-BY 发布。
• Preservation runs through CLOCKSS and LOCKSS, metadata goes to Crossref, OAI-PMH harvesting is open to aggregators, and the publisher signed DORA and helped build the OPERAS usage metrics.长期保存依托 CLOCKSS 与 LOCKSS 两套系统，元数据交 Crossref，OAI-PMH 接口向聚合商开放，出版方签署了 DORA 宣言并参与开发 OPERAS 使用量指标。
