Young Investigator, J SPORTS SCI & MED

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

The policy of Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (JSSM,

http://www.jssm.org) in serving Sports Science and Sports Medicine is to

make the latest developments in the field easily and freely accessible to

the readers. Supporting and encouraging young investigators in publishing

high quality publications is one of the JSSM's major goals.

In 2004, JSSM published the first Young Investigator Special Issue (YISI)

with great success. We have received several manuscripts from young

researchers with a lot of potential. Many expert referees wrote us and

offered their help and the support of the supervisors was also substantial.

Starting from 2005 JSSM will publish Young Investigator papers in regular

JSSM issues as a special section; Young Investigator Section (YIS).

The Young Investigator Section will follow a normal peer-review process,

except that there will not be straight rejections in the first phase of

review. Our Editors and Reviewers of the Young Investigator Special Section

are advised to proceed with constructive advice and remarks for all

manuscripts submitted to the Journal. This will offer a great opportunity

for the young investigators to revise the manuscript, while at the same time

contribute to the learning process. Thereafter, if the revisions are

completely conducted according to the remarks from reviewers, the

manuscripts will be accepted for publishing.

All the manuscripts submitted to the JSSM must be prepared according to the

JSSM Guidelines for Authors. Submission of well-prepared manuscripts will

ensure a quick review process. There will be no deadline for submission.

Accepted manuscripts will be published in the next available JSSM issue, in

the Young Investigator Section. For further information, please contact the

editors of the Young Investigator Section.
