The American College of Sports Medicine is pleased to announce the first issue of the Translational Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (TJACSM)—a new online publication dedicated to translating research evidence into clinical practice in sports medicine and exercise science. The journal is published by Wolters Kluwer.
The first issue of TJACSM is currently posted on the journal website. Dr. Joseph E. Donnelly, professor of internal medicine and director of the Energy Balance Laboratory and Center for Physical Activity and Weight Management, Cardiovascular Research Institute at The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, will serve as the Editor-in-Chief.
At a time of increased emphasis on translational medicine, the TJACSM provides a unique focus on translating science to action. It publishes original research, clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and policy research addressing the translational implications of basic, clinical and policy science to everyday, real-world practice.
Studies selected for publication are those applying basic and clinical research findings that move discovery and knowledge into clinical practice and community settings. Dr. Donnelly and the editorial board also envision periodic special issues focusing on current topics in translational sports medicine and exercise science.
The first issue of TJACSM, consisting of invited contributions from prominent researchers and clinicians, is online now. Plans call for new articles to be published every other week. Initial content will be made freely available to the public for a period of time. Subsequently, it will be provided as an ACSM member benefit and available for individual and institutional subscriptions.
The editors are now accepting submissions of new research and other translational papers relevant to sports medicine, exercise physiology and health behaviour change.
