To maintain a happy editorial board and reviewer pool, the International Journal of Exercise Science will reduce our normal staffing during June and July. Any manuscripts submitted during these months may not begin the pre-review process until August. Additionally, manuscripts under review during these months may take longer than our normal time course to complete. It is suggested to submit well in advance of these months in order to avoid any delays.

IJES is being evaluated by the organization that assigns “impact factors” - once complete, IJES’ impact score will be reflected here. In the meantime, consider using our other metrics as reference:

• Resurchify
• SJR

We understand the value of quality peer review while also giving the opportunity for young professionals to mature their skills in the process. We work with a team of volunteers who balance many other responsibilities with their service to IJES. With that, the time to receive an initial decision can take some time. The section editor must find appropriate reviewers to evaluate the work and then those reviewers must have time to critically evaluate the manuscript.

We typically see initial decisions reached within 6-10 weeks of submission, though this time could be shorter or longer depending on the factors mentioned before.
