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.
自实施科学诞生以来的 13 年里，我们见证了提交的数量持续增加，反映出全球对增强研究结果在医疗保健实践和政策中的应用的方法的兴趣不断增长。我们现在每年收到超过 800 份投稿，但提交的内容和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，我们宣布计划推出一本新期刊——实施科学通讯，我们相信这将支持目前在实施科学中不太常发表的研究报告类型的出版。在这篇社论中，我们陈述了两个期刊的范围和当前的界限，并阐明了我们对收到的手稿的科学报告、质量和透明度的期望。
