The 2014 Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews (ESSR) impact factor (released summer 2015) is 4.259. The Journal is ranked fourth in Sport Sciences category. Despite the limitations of the metrics that underlie an impact factor, it remains a significant criterion when recruiting authors to share their knowledge with our readers. To help us maintain a strong impact factor, we ask that you cite relevant ESSR articles in your peer reviewed publications whenever appropriate.

Each article we publish must establish a rationale for a novel hypothesis that is illustrated in a conceptual figure. To accomplish this goal, authors must synthesize the contemporary literature on a topic, including several of their own peer-reviewed publications, and then extrapolate this knowledge to an emergent idea that represents opportunities for future research. Moreover, articles must be understandable by a broad audience. Our intent is to engage non experts in the field, especially those who are early in their careers and have a wide range of interests.
