The Sportscience website http://sportsci.org is now a peer-reviewed
journal
specializing in human physical performance. We have just uploaded the
first
issue, Sportscience 3(1) 1999.
Some articles in this journal will be similar to those published at
sportsci.org over the last two years, but there is now a more formal
blind
review process for all articles. We also have a more formal format. We
hope to review and reformat most of our earlier articles into Volumes 1
and
2 of this journal.
The editorial explains the unique features of this new journal.
Briefly, we have...
* sections that combine the best features of existing journals;
* accessible data and statistics, probably unsurpassed in our
discipline;
* downloadable article templates to ease writing, reviewing, and
editing;
* downloadable free reprints;
* a downloadable bibliographic file for importing into reference
managers.
We will be publishing original research. Please consider submitting
your
best work to Sportscience. With your help we will be included in
Current
Contents and other databases of the Institute for Scientific
Information.
Your articles will then get cited more widely.
