In the 13 years since the inception of Implementation Science, we have witnessed a continued rise in the number of submissions, reflecting the growing global interest in methods to enhance the uptake of research findings into healthcare practice and policy. We now receive over 800 submissions annually, and there is a large gap between what is submitted and what gets published. To better serve the needs of the research community, we announce our plans to introduce a new journal, Implementation Science Communications, which we believe will support publication of types of research reports currently not often published in Implementation Science. In this editorial, we state both journals’ scope and current boundaries and set out our expectations for the scientific reporting, quality, and transparency of the manuscripts we receive.

实施科学和实施科学传播：我们的目标、范围和报告期望

自“实施科学”成立以来的 13 年来，我们见证了提交数量的持续增长，这反映出全球对加强研究成果在医疗保健实践和政策中的应用的方法越来越感兴趣。现在我们每年收到超过 800 份投稿，但提交的内容与发表的内容之间存在很大差距。为了更好地满足研究界的需求，我们宣布计划推出新期刊《Implementation Science Communications》，我们相信该期刊将支持目前在《Implementation Science》中不常发表的研究报告类型的出版。在这篇社论中，我们阐述了期刊的范围和当前边界，并阐述了我们对收到的稿件的科学报告、质量和透明度的期望。
