Submission Guidelines An International Electronic Journal
Click here for a Microsoft Word Template Document to aid formatting Overview The Journal of Exercise Physiology (JEPonline,
ISSN 1097-9751), published by the American Society of Exercise Physiologists (ASEP),
is a professional peer reviewed internet-based journal devoted to original
research, research-related reviews, and commentaries in exercise physiology.
Currently, JEPonline is published
bi-monthly. To submit a manuscript for review, email the manuscript as an
attachment to the JEPonline
Editor-in-Chief, Jon
Linderman, PhD at Jon.Linderman@notes.udayton.edu. A cover letter stating any potential conflicts of interest, as well as
copyright transfer should also be attached to the email.
If necessary, you may contact Jon by phone: (937) 229-4207 or FAX: (937)
229-4244. Please note that we
prefer manuscripts typed in Microsoft Word software.
Upon receipt, email correspondence verifying manuscript receipt will be
sent informing the submitting author of the manuscript number and estimated time
of the review process. Please adhere to the directions that follow with regard
to submission and manuscript format requirements. Author
Responsibilities Manuscript content and accuracy are the responsibility of the
authors. Authors must submit a
disclosure statement regarding authorship and transfer of copyright (see below).
Original copy of disclosure is preferred; however, if necessary, a faxed
copy is acceptable. In order to
ease the difficulty of multiple authors from various locations signing a single
disclosure, if necessary, JEPonline will
accept multiple copies of the disclosure, as well as disclosures with electronic
signatures. Disclosure statements should either be emailed or FAXed as identified
above, or mailed to: Jon Linderman, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief: JEPonline, c/o Department of Health and Sport Science, The University of Dayton, 300 College Park, Dayton, OH 45469-1210 The disclosure statement should include the title of
the submitted work and certify the following: 1)
That all authors have participated substantially in the
submitted work. 2)
That all authors have reviewed and approve of the final
version of the work and take responsibility for its content. 3)
That the manuscript is original and unpublished material,
except in abstract form or oral report, and is not under consideration by
another journal. 4)
The disclosure statement must be signed and dated by all
authors. 5)
The author(s) undersigned transfer all copyright ownership
to the JEPonline in the event that the
work is published by JEPonline.
6)
Fax signatures and electronic signatures are legally binding. If a manuscript if not accepted, or is withdrawn prior to
publication, the disclosure statement is null and void.
Authors should inform the Editor of any potential conflicts
of interests. These include, but
are not limited to, financial arrangements, organizational affiliations, or
other relationships that may constitute a conflict of interest regarding the
submitted work. This information
should be contained in the emailed cover letter.
In addition, authors must obtain permission from all persons named in the
acknowledgement section. Authors
should include in the emailed cover letter that such permission has been
granted. If human subjects were involved in the study, the manuscript
must provide a statement regarding the use of Institutional Review Board
protocol, signed consent forms, and compliance with additional guidelines such
as HIPPA where appropriate. Review
Process The editorial staff of JEPonline
has developed the journal to be a leader in research publications.
We are aware of the potential for reviewer bias in the peer blind review
process, and as such, do not keep submitting authors blinded to the reviewers of
their manuscript. Similarly, we do not blind reviewers to the authors of the
manuscripts, unless requested by the reviewer.
Please refer to the editorials concerning the peer review process for
further information regarding this topic. To
ensure ethical and professional conduct of the peer reviewers, JEPonline
has a Review Board that completes all peer reviews.
All members of the Review Board follow stringent guidelines in how they
review manuscripts, and their presence on the Board indicates that they adhere
to a high code of ethics regarding manuscript reviews. JEPonline does not strive to maintain a
rejection rate for submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts
are either suitable for publication after 1 round of reviews, or require
additional work. If the manuscript
can be improved, then we offer the authors the information needed to improve the
manuscript, and leave it to the authors to decide on whether they want to
continue revising the manuscript and complete a re-submission.
Certainly, there is the possibility that some manuscripts may be far too
handicapped by inappropriate methodology for publication.
However, such would be the only reason for an outright rejection. The editorial staff will work with authors to improve
manuscripts. Such collaboration
could consist of clarifying the purpose and hypotheses, aiding methodological
descriptions, improving the statistical procedures used to analyze the data, and
contributing to data interpretation. We
recognize the expertise of the submitting authors, and want to work with them to
make their manuscript as good as possible. International submissions are welcomed.
Internet-based research publication has tremendous potential to spread
scientific knowledge around the world. We
recognize the responsibility we have to support submissions from scientists
whose native language is not English, and we will offer our services to correct
grammar if necessary. Manuscript Formatting Authors should submit their manuscript, pre-formatted to JEPonline
requirements. Authors should
download the appropriate Template manuscript (either original research or review
manuscript, and add their content to this document.
Both template documents are formatted using Microsoft Word software.
Please make note of the formatting features of the Template document
(such as letter case, point font, color, etc.). Research

to Cite Information From the World Wide Web
Refer to the URL http://www.apa.org/journals/webref.html Tables Use the Word Table feature.
Select Table from the header, then Insert, then Table,
and then select the correct rows and column numbers. Highlight the table now inserted into the text and then
select Table, Table Auto Format, and then pre-formatted option of Colorful
2. Use mean±SD
data for all tables. Use the Symbol
for ±
(select Insert, Symbol, make sure the font is Symbol, and
then double click the ±
symbol). Do not use an
underlined + sign (+). All table content, including the table legend should be 10
font. Table 1.
Descriptive data of the subjects.
*=significantly
different from Condition A; ^=significantly different from Condition B; Put additional table explanations here in 10 font. Use symbols to represent significance results - *, ^, #, ~,
as well as any you decide from the Symbols font selections. Figures
JEPonline publishes in color, so use color
to aid in improving the clarity of figures.
However, do not over-use color just because you can use it.
Figures are best on a white background, with black axes and axis labels,
with color used to identify group symbol and/or line differences in line graphs,
and bar condition/group differences in bar graphs. Use a graph legend to explain
all symbol and/or color differences. Review
Manuscripts
The format is similar for the research manuscript.
However, provide a header, sub-header and page number contents list
before the Abstract (see Template for Review Manuscripts). Use headings and sub-headings to appropriately organize the
content. Letters
to the Editor
Submit these as a letter to the Editor-in-Chief. Where pertinent, identify the manuscript and reference of the
manuscript that forms the basis for the letter. Provide a reference list for all cited references. Word all letters in a professional manner. Disclaimer
