Aims and Scope
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
(RQES) publishes scientific research focusing on human movement as it relates to exercise and sport. The journal is particularly interested in theoretically-driven rather than descriptive work and the expectation is that a paper must significantly advance and impact on knowledge within the field. The journal accepts quantitative and qualitative work that presents new information, substantiation or contradiction of previous findings, or an application of new or improved techniques. The journal is currently not accepting narrative reviews unless invited or with prior approval from the Editor. The journal does accept systematic and meta-analytic reviews from leading research groups and scientists. The goals of RQES are to provide a scholarly outlet for knowledge that: (1) contributes to the study of human movement, particularly its cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary nature; (2) impacts theory and practice regarding human movement; (3) stimulates research about human movement; and (4) provides theoretical reviews and tutorials related to the study of human movement.
Diversity on the Editorial Board August 2021
SHAPE America and the journal Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport strongly values equity, diversity and inclusion in research across the various academic disciplines that it serves. We believe that the authors, reviewers, and editors engaged with the journal must reflect the diversity that is evident within the broad academic communities that it serves.
A challenge remains how to gather accurate data that reflects the current level of diversity in the field as whole. The problem is confounded by the fact that the journal is multi-disciplinary, encompassing a wide number of sub-disciplines. Moreover, while the journal is US based, its reach and impact is global. We will explore better ways to collect and aggregate such data so that the nature of the community that the journal serves may be better defined.
As we move forward, we will continue to explore ways to better gather demographic data and continue with our efforts to recruit a proportionate number of authors, reviewers and editors that match favourably with the levels of diversity that are evident in the various fields of science that the journal serves.
