The International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology ( IJSEP ) publishes empirical and theoretical contributions in the science of physical activity, human movement, exercise, and sport.  The journal’s Editors and Editorial Board encourage researchers and scholars worldwide to submit their work for publication, since the journal emphasizes its international perspective. Innovative applications, cultural and cross-cultural research and position statements of international organizations are especially welcomed.
 
The primary purposes of IJSEP are to promote understanding of sport psychology research and practice around the world, enhance theoretical and practical knowledge in these fields and promote high-quality scientific and applied work in sport and exercise psychology.
 
Sections in the Journal are devoted to areas including group dynamics, moral and ethical issues, social aspects in sport and exercise, and biological aspects of behavior.
 
The International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP)
 
Students and professional members of the ISSP receive the journal as a direct membership benefit.

Members of the ISSP are also eligible for a discounted Open Access Article Publishing Charge (APC) of $675 US dollars on submissions to the annual Open Access Supplement. This supplement provides an ideal forum for research for authors whose work may be most appropriately published on an Open Access basis, perhaps because of a funding requirement or because of the particular focus of their paper.

ISSP members are also entitled to a discounted rate to Taylor & Francis' proprietary publication, International Review of Sport & Exercise Psychology, at just $15 a year. 

The ISSP provides a forum for individuals who are interested in theory, research, practice and professional development in the discipline of sport psychology throughout the world. The Society exists to (a) encourage and promote the study of human behaviour within sport, physical activity, and health settings; (b) facilitate the sharing of knowledge through books, journals, newsletters, meetings and a quadrennial congress, and (c) improve the quality of research and professional practice in sport psychology. The Society also endeavours to foster peace and understanding among people from all countries.
 
The ISSP is the only worldwide organisation of scholars explicitly concerned with sport psychology.
 
Peer Review Integrity 

All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent expert referees.

All peer review is double blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology ® is the official publication of APA Division 47 (Society for Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology). The journal publishes papers in all areas of sport, exercise, and performance psychology for applied scientists and practitioners.

This journal is committed to publishing evidence that supports the application of psychological principles to facilitate peak sport performance, enhance physical activity participation, and achieve optimal human performance. Published papers include experimental studies, correlational studies, evaluation studies, and qualitative research. In addition, historical papers, critical reviews, case studies, brief reports, critical evaluations of policies and procedures, and position statements will be considered for publication.

The journal is divided into three sections.

  • Sport Psychology addresses the interactions between psychology and sport performance, including the psychological aspects of optimal athletic performance, the psychological care and well-being of athletes, coaches, and sport organizations, and the connection between physical and psychological functioning.
  • Exercise Psychology publishes research on the behavioral, social cognitive, and psychobiological antecedents and consequences of physical activity with a focus on the adoption and maintenance of physical activity and its effects on psychological well-being.
  • Performance Psychology focuses on the psychology of human performance, in particular, professions that demand excellence in psychomotor performance (i.e., performing arts, surgery, firefighting, law enforcement, military operations, etc.). Also addressed are work environments in which teamwork and motivation are important to human performance.

Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology emphasizes original research manuscripts and their potential scientific impact that progresses our understanding of human behavior in sport, exercise, and performance.
