Journal of Sport Sciences (JSS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to the rigorous exploration of human movement, athletic optimization, and the physiological and psychological mechanisms that govern physical performance. As sports and physical activity become increasingly recognized as critical determinants of public health, clinical rehabilitation, and elite human achievement, JSS provides a high-level scientific forum for researchers, sports scientists, and clinical practitioners. The journal emphasizes macro-level scientific integration, translational research, and systemic innovations that bridge the gap between laboratory discovery and on-field application, advancing both elite athletic excellence and community-level physical well-being.

Scope and Topics

JSS invites original empirical research, comprehensive systematic reviews, and advanced methodological frameworks within the multidisciplinary domain of sports science. The scope encompasses, but is not limited to, the following core areas:

  • Biomechanics and Kinesiology: Human motion analysis, neuromuscular control, sports engineering, footwear and equipment interactions, and musculoskeletal injury mechanisms.

  • Exercise Physiology and Nutrition: Metabolic responses to acute and chronic exercise, thermoregulation, cardiorespiratory conditioning, sports nutrition, ergonomics, and ergogenic aids.

  • Sport and Exercise Psychology: Cognitive processes in athletic performance, mental health in elite sports, behavior modification, motivational theory, and the psychophysiology of performance anxiety.

  • Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation: Injury prevention strategies, orthopedic rehabilitation, athletic training interventions, and the clinical application of exercise for chronic disease management.

  • Performance Analysis and Coaching Science: Elite performance metrics, tactical analysis, data analytics in sports, and systemic methodologies in coaching and youth athletic development.

Publication Frequency

The Journal of Sport Sciences (JSS) is published semi-annually (2 issues per year), regularly released in March and September. This schedule ensures the systematic dissemination of cutting-edge scientific data while supporting a comprehensive and meticulous review timeline.

Peer Review Process

To safeguard absolute scientific integrity and maintain international standards of scholarly excellence, JSS operates a strict double-blind peer review protocol. Every submitted manuscript is initially screened by the editorial board for technical conformity, ethical compliance (including human subject research approvals), plagiarism metrics, and scope alignment. Manuscripts passing this phase are distributed to at least two independent international experts with specialized knowledge in the specific subfield. Reviewers critically evaluate submissions based on scientific novelty, methodological robustness, data validity, and practical relevance to sports science. The final publishing decision is governed entirely by the consensus of these expert evaluations.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Journal of Sport Sciences (JSS) is to advance the global understanding of human performance, movement, and health through the publication of rigorous, evidence-based research. By breaking down the silos between physiology, psychology, and biomechanics, the journal aims to provide actionable insights that optimize athletic potential and elevate global health metrics. JSS is committed to the democratic distribution of knowledge through open-access publishing, empowering scientists, coaches, clinicians, and athletes worldwide to cultivate a healthier, more active, and high-performing global society.
