Professionalization of Exercise Physiologyonline

 
Aim and Scope
The journal will focus on articles that provide a rationale for the professionalization of exercise physiology. Articles are commissioned, but submitted manuscripts will be promptly considered for publication.  Submitted articles can be in two primary areas of concentration: (1) professionalism; and (2) research.  Either is recognized as part of the "professionalization" process, and both are certainly important to the professional development of exercise physiology.

Publisher's Note
Why another journal? The answer is rather simple. The exercise physiology scientific literature has a significant number of avenues for publication in comprehensive and scholarly journals. The number of research articles published each year is increasing rapidly. These papers are, however, of little direct value to college administrators and exercise physiologists who are interested in the professionalization of exercise physiology. Since a paper or electronic medium does not exist to address exercise physiology professionalism, thus the reason for the PEPonline journal. It is electronic rather than paper because of the obvious financial considerations in creating a print copy journal, and the increased likelihood of influencing exercise physiologists worldwide. The articles will provide a forum for the commuication of issues that are of concern or importance to the exercise physiology field of study. A very real need exists for well-written articles that help to expose inadequate thinking or outmoded views that continue to influence exercise physiology. It is expected that the ideas and concepts presented in the articles will challenge mainstream beliefs. Many readers may consider the articles as timely and thus enabling them to work towards developing their own identification with exercise physiology. We trust that this new online journal will promote communication and increased awareness of exercise physiology as a developing profession.
