Aims & Scope

JSSM is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access. JSSM is published quarterly in March, June, September and December. JSSM also publishes editorials, letter to editors, abstracts of congress, panel, conference and symposium, and can function as an open discussion forum on significant issues in the sports medicine and exercise sciences. Articles written in English should be sent to JSSM. The journal content could be presented not only in print (pdf format) but also through the use of video, audio and interactive software since it is being published as an electronic journal. Authors, therefore, are encouraged to submit articles those use all appropriate media. The JSSM does not accept descriptive studies or data reports and manuscript which has been published on preprint servers. The manuscript will also not be accepted without statistical power analysis.
