SEEKING QUALITY – SCHOLARLY
MANUSCRIPTS
SEEKING EXPERIENCED SCHOLARS TO SERVE AS REVIEWERS |
Did you know that the International Council of Health, Physical Education,
Recreation and Dance (ICHPER··SD), headquartered in
the AAHPERD building in Reston, Virginia, publishes two scholarly,
blind reviewed, journals:
(1) Journal of ICHPER·SD —
a quarterly journal [Volume XLII]
(2) ICHPER·SD Journal of Research —
a brand new biannual journal (published twice a year) [Volume I].
And, did you know that ICHPER·SD is now actively searching
for (1) quality manuscripts to be reviewed for possible publication
in one of these scholarly journals and (2) experienced scholars
and teachers who are willing to serve as reviewers for
one or both of these journals.
Provided below is information pertaining to how to prepare and submit
manuscripts for review (i.e., guidelines for writers/researchers)
to both of these journals.
The Mission of the ICHPER·SD Journal of Research
The mission of the journal is to meet the needs of the academic
community from both a national and an international perspective.
Thus, academicians and professionals engaged in or studying HPER-SD,
and related activities, at all levels (local, state, regional,
national and international), are encouraged to contribute to the
professional literature by submitting research-oriented manuscripts
that will contribute and expand to knowledge base of the disciplines
within our profession. The ICHPER·SD Journal of Research
is exclusively what is termed a "research journal" and invites
data based manuscripts representing cutting edge research.
The Mission of the Journal of ICHPER·SD
The mission of the journal is to meet the needs of the academic
community from both a national and an international perspective. Thus,
academicians and professionals engaged in or studying HPER-SD, and
related activities, at all levels (local, state, regional, national
and international), are encouraged to contribute to the professional
literature by submitting scholarly, but not necessarily data-base
research manuscripts, that will contribute and expand to knowledge
base of the disciplines within our profession. All types of scholarly
manuscripts, including position papers, research as well as non-research
articles, are encouraged. The Journal of ICHPER·SD is not
exclusively what is termed a "research journal"—
but invites scholarly manuscripts dealing with any aspect of our profession
and disciplines.
Manuscript Guidelines for Authors
Articles are invited in the areas of health, physical education,
adapted physical education, recreation, dance, sport, human performance,
coaching, sports medicine, and sport management. This journal
is international in scope in the sense that authors/researchers
and topics can originate from any part of the world.
All manuscripts must be submitted in English. An original hard copy
of the manuscript plus a computer CD (virus free) containing
the article and any tables and/or figures (as separate files, in Microsoft
Word®), should be submitted to:

Each manuscript must be accompanied by a one-paragraph abstract (100
words or less). The APA (latest edition) format [Publication Manual
of the American Psychological Association] must be used
consistently throughout the entire manuscript. At least one of the
authors (if there is more than one) should be members of ICHPER·SD.
Authors should number pages and lines throughout the manuscript, including
the references. Be sure and double check references for correct spelling
of authors and publication dates as well as to insure that the names
in the references and in the body of the manuscript match.
For manuscripts sent from the United States, a large, self-addressed,
stamped envelope (9” by 12”) must
be included for the return of the manuscripts (with editor’s
and reviewers’ comments) for possible revision. For manuscripts
sent from outside the United States, only a large self-addressed envelope
(9” by 12”) must be included. Manuscripts should not be
submitted to another journal while under review.
The first page of each manuscript should include only the title of
the article. The senior author’s name, affiliation, and full
address (including phone number, fax number and e-mail address) should
be provided on a separate cover sheet, along with identification of
co-authors, if any. The manuscripts should be typed double-spaced
with a 1½ -inch margin. Generally, manuscripts should be 15-20
pages in length, plus tables, figures and references, for a
total of no more than 24-25 pages. The body of the manuscript should
not contain any information identifying the author(s). Manuscripts
longer than this will be reviewed, and if accepted, can be published
– space permitting.
All graphs, tables as well as figures and drawings should be placed
on separate pages. Tables should be double-spaced. Figures and drawings
must be professionally prepared and camera ready. Final manuscripts,
including all corrections and revisions, must be submitted on a computer
CD in Microsoft Word® as well as two hard copies.
Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by at least three members of the
"review board" and by the editor. The evaluation of manuscripts
is by a blind review process. Authors are notified as to the disposition
of their manuscripts as soon as all reviews are completed. Once a
manuscript has been tentatively accepted, the author should
return two hard copies of the revised manuscript and a computer CD
(Microsoft Word®) containing the manuscript and any tables or
figures as separate files, for a final review, prior to being scheduled
for publication.
Galley proofs of accepted manuscripts are mailed to the author and
are to be returned within one week following receipt from the
editor. Only minor corrections are acceptable on the galley proofs.
No major additions or revisions are permitted at this stage in the
publication process. The senior author receives two copies of the
issue in which the article appears.
There are no page charges to authors. All authors must transfer copyright
to International Council for Health, Physical Education, Recreation,
Sport, & Dance (ICHPER·SD) by signing a copyright release
document. At least one of the authors (if there is more than one)
is expected to be a member of ICHPER·SD or willing to become
a member.
