Instructions for Authors to Submit Feature Articles

ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal® is an official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. It is written for exercise leaders, personal trainers, health/fitness instructors, rehabilitation specialists, health/fitness directors, exercise-test technologists, exercise specialists, and program directors. Articles must provide timely information that is of immediate use to practitioners. Feature articles in the following areas are encouraged: nutrition, exercise, professional development, injury prevention, exercise and health costs, special populations, fitness trends, psychology in sports and exercise, and law. All feature articles are subject to peer review.

Articles must be conceived with the intention of engaging a curious, professional audience. The style of ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal® is informal and interpretive. Articles must not have been published elsewhere. They must be based on research or contain a fresh view of existing information. Each article must contain material that the professional can apply in practice. Reporting studies or their results, however, are not compatible with the interests of our readers.

We reserve the right to not review or publish submissions that we deem for any reason to be unsuitable, unlawful, or objectionable, including without limitation to the subject matter of the submission, the timeliness or relevance of the submission, reasons related to intellectual property, or the existence of threatened or actual legal proceedings in which we are involved, among others.

General Guidelines and Writing Tips

Feature articles run approximately 2,200 to 2,600 words. Authors should add value for the reader by reporting little-known facts, making substantiated recommendations, using photographs, sidebars, illustrations, case studies, and summaries. References should be selective. Authors should limit the number of citations to 10 to 12, plus recommended readings if appropriate. All feature submissions are peer reviewed.

The following tips will help authors understand and write according to the style of the Journal:

When quoting a source, provide the source's title and professional affiliation at first mention. For example, "Remember," says Jonathan Doe, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Hard Knocks School of Public Health, "nutrition is only part..." Afterward, use Dr., Mr., or Ms. (or Mrs., if the person prefers).

Use figures for all numbers higher than nine (e.g., 10, 25). Write out numbers between zero and nine unless they are in a table or followed by the percentage sign. When using percentages, always use the numeral and the percentage sign (e.g., 10%).

Abbreviations are acceptable provided the reader is told at first mention what the abbreviation means. For example, "Researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommend..."

Active voice should be used as often as possible.

Use statistics to add credibility to the article. But do not let statistics speak for themselves. Interpret the figures and make their implications clear. Figures, tables, and probability levels are not usually of interest to readers; state your statistics rhetorically.

Break up the article visually with photographs, illustrations, sidebars, etc. Use bullets, checklists, and other graphic devices to help distinguish the important points.

If possible, supply photos to illustrate or enhance the article, and choose photos that could be used on the Journal's cover should it be selected as the featured article. These photos cannot be copyrighted by another journal or magazine. Please have each person in the photo sign a model release form and submit it with your manuscript. See Author Resources above to download the Model Release Form.

Specific Guidelines

Please follow the guidelines outlined below when preparing your manuscript for submission to ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal®. Manuscripts that are prepared improperly will be returned to the author for correcting. Also see the Submission Guidelines Checklist at the end of this document.

Copyright Transfer Agreement form:

Each author must complete the journal's copyright transfer agreement, which includes a section on the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest based on the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (www.icmje.org/update.html).

A copy of the form is made available to the submitting author within the Editorial Manager submission process. Co-authors will automatically receive an email with instructions on completing the form electronically upon submission.

Compliance with NIH and Other Research Funding Agency Accessibility Requirements: A number of research funding agencies now require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, the journal's publisher Wolters Kluwer Health will identify to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and will transmit the post-print of an article based on research that is funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, or other funding agencies to PubMed Central. The Copyright Transfer Agreement provides this mechanism.

Title Page

The article's title page should:

Include names of all authors (indicate professional degrees and ACSM affiliations)

Include each author's institutional affiliation, phone number, e-mail address

Identify the corresponding author and include their complete contact information (mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address).

List five keywords or phrases for indexing

Include word count (feature articles run approximately 2,200 to 2,600 words)

State potential conflicts of interest and sources of funding (e.g., from National Institutes of Health (NIH); Wellcome Trust; Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI); or others).

If authors do not have any funding disclosures or conflicts of interest, clearly state (i.e., Funding Disclosures/conflicts of interest: The authors declare no conflicts of interest and do not have any financial disclosures.)

Include a head shot photograph, head shot only, for each author. Also include a brief description (75 words or less) of each author's research and professional activities (bio). For example, "Joanne Smith, Ph.D., FACSM, is an assistant professor of exercise physiology at Flex & Stretch University where her research focuses on the role that physical fitness plays in intellectual development."
