Implementation Science has been published for six years and over that time has gone from receiving 100 articles in 2006 to receiving 354 in 2011; our impact factor has risen from 2.49 in June 2010 to 3.10 in June 2012. Whilst our article publication rate has also risen, it has risen much less slowly than our submission rate--we published 29 papers in 2006 and 134 papers in 2011 and we now publish only around 40 % of submissions. About one-half of submitted manuscripts are rejected without being sent out for peer review; it has become clear that there are a number of common issues that result in manuscripts being rejected at this stage. We hope that by publishing this editorial on our common reasons for rejection without peer review we can help authors to better judge the relevance of their papers to Implementation Science.
《实施科学》已经出版六年了，在这六年中，它从 2006 年收到 100 篇文章增加到 2011 年的 354 篇；我们的影响因子从 2010 年 6 月的 2.49 上升到 2012 年 6 月的 3.10。虽然我们的文章发表率也有所上升，但上升速度远低于我们的投稿率——我们在 2006 年发表了 29 篇论文，2011 年发表了 134 篇论文，而现在我们只发表了大约 40%的投稿。大约一半的投稿在没有送审的情况下就被拒绝了；很明显，有一些常见的问题导致稿件在这一阶段被拒绝。我们希望通过发表这篇没有经过同行评审的常见退稿原因的社论，帮助作者更好地判断他们的论文与《实施科学》的相关性。
