This editorial updates the scope and submission expectations of Implementation Science and Implementation Science Communications. We refine our protocol publishing policies and set out new expectations for reporting studies describing determinants and their relationship with implementation outcomes. Our central focus remains on the implementation of evidence-based interventions into healthcare practice and policy. We are most interested in rigorous empirical studies of the implementation of evidence-based healthcare interventions, practices, and policies, and the de-implementation of those that are demonstrated to be of low-value or no benefit. Alongside this, we remain interested in the systematic study of implementation mechanisms and processes and on the influences of patient, professional, and organizational behaviours. Novel theoretical and methodological developments are considered. For all submissions, we expect authors to demonstrate how their work is integrated with existing knowledge in the field and to clearly state the added value of the work to the field broadly.
本社论更新了实施科学和实施科学交流的范围和提交期望。我们细化了我们的方案出版政策，并为描述决定因素及其与实施结果关系的研究报告设定了新的期望。我们的核心关注点仍然是将基于证据的干预措施实施到医疗保健实践和政策中。我们最感兴趣的是对基于证据的医疗保健干预措施、实践和政策的实施以及已证明低价值或无益处的干预措施的取消实施进行严格的实证研究。除此之外，我们仍然对实施机制和过程的系统研究以及对患者、专业人员和组织行为的影响感兴趣。新颖的理论和方法发展也在考虑之中。对于所有提交的内容，我们希望作者能够展示他们的工作如何与该领域现有的知识相结合，并明确说明该工作对该领域的广泛价值。
