Abstract
in English, Spanish, Chinese

Daily news is dominated by reports of traumatic events across the world. Is trauma indeed rather the norm than the exception? What are the facts? How can we better understand, prevent and treat the consequences of trauma? This past year the European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) has again tried to address these questions. With the gold Open Access model articles in the journal are being made immediately available without any barriers to access. In Europe, promising developments with regard to Open Science emerged in 2018, for instance, cOAlition S with their ambitious Plan S boosting the transition to full Open Access. In this editorial these and other developments in the journal, such as Registered Reports as a way to reduce Questionable Research Practices (QRPs), journal metrics, and the ESTSS EJPT award finalists for best paper of 2018 are being presented.

Las noticias del día a día están dominadas por reportajes de eventos traumáticos al rededor del mundo. ¿Es en realidad el trauma la norma en vez de la excepción? ¿Cuáles son los datos? ¿Cómo podemos entender mejor, prevenir y tratar las consecuencias del trauma? Este último año la Revista Europea de Psicotraumatología ha intentado de nuevo abordar estas preguntas. Con el modelo gold Open Access, los artículos en la revista se ponen a disposición inmediatamente sin ningún tipo de barreras de acceso. En Europa, en el 2018 surgieron avances prometedores con respecto a las Ciencias Abiertas (Open Science), como por ejemplo, cOAlition S con su ambicioso Plan S, alentando la transición a Acceso Abierto total. En esta editorial, se presentan estos y otros desarrollos en la revista, como Informes Registrados como una forma de reducir las Prácticas de investigación cuestionable, mediciones de la revista, y los finalistas del premio ESTSS EJPT al mejor artículo del año 2018.

每天的新闻被世界各地的创伤事件报道所主导。创伤确实如此常见而不是例外吗？哪些是事实？我们怎样才能更好地理解、预防和治疗创伤的后果？过去一年，欧洲创伤心理学期刊（The European Journal of Psychotraumatology，EJPT）继续尝试回应这些问题。使用黄金开放获取模式（gold Open Access model），期刊中的论文立时可读，没有任何获取壁垒。在欧洲，2018年出现了开放科学（Open Science）的可喜发展。例如，cOAlition S凭借其雄心勃勃的S计划 （Plan S）推动向完全开放获取的过渡。在这篇社论中将提到这些内容和期刊的其他进展：例如，注册报告（Registered Reports）作为减少可疑研究实践（Questionable Research Practices，QRPs）的方式，期刊指标，以及2018年ESTSS EJPT最佳论文奖项的入围获奖名单。.

Keywords: Altmetrics; Open Access; PTSD; Psychotrauma; impact factor; registered reports; special issues; • The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) is gold Open Access, well read, cited, and has global impact.• Plan S (put forward by cOAlition S), requires 100% Open Access from publicly funded projects that start after 2020 and will give a boost to the Open Access development.• Registered Reports are one way to reduce Questionable Research Practices (QRPs)..
