Wolters Kluwer, a leading global provider of information and point of care solutions for the healthcare industry, is further expanding its publishing partnership with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), with the addition of Exercise, Sport, and Movement (ESM).
Exercise, Sport, and Movement will be an international open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on all aspects of exercise science and sports medicine. Submissions to the new journal are now open, marking the opening of the 2022 ACSM Annual Meeting & World Congresses in San Diego. Dr. Gary Liguori will serve as the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of the new journal. Dr. Liguori is Dean of the College of Health Sciences and Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston, and a longtime contributor to ACSM education and publishing projects.
For many years, Wolters Kluwer has served as publisher for ACSM's roster of scholarly journals, including the flagship research journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. A gold open access journal, ESM will present new reports on scientific, clinical, public health, community, and policy topics. Dr. Liguori and the editorial team encourage manuscripts addressing movement, fitness, exercise, physical activity, health promotion, sport, and prevention and treatment of injury and disease.
The journal will run on a continuous publication model, with articles posted online as soon as they are ready. Papers will then be compiled into quarterly compendia, the first of which is scheduled for January 2023.
With the launch of ESM as an open-access journal, ACSM members and scholars from around the world will have a new forum for publishing universally accessible research and clinical papers – particularly for research supported by federal funding, which often dictates open-access dissemination.
