AUTHOR
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
An author is free to withdraw an article at no charge as long as it is withdrawn within a week of its original submission. After a week, there is a withdrawal fee. Once peer review is completed and/or the paper is accepted for publication, there are some costs of the process, which is about 40% of the publishing fee.

REVIEW
AND PUBLISHING POLICY
It is understood that all authors listed on a manuscript have
agreed to its submission. The signature of the corresponding author
on the letter of submission signifies that all conditions declared
by JSSM web page have been fulfilled and accepted. Each submission
should include the Copyright
Transfer Statement signed by all authors.
JSSM use double-blind review process. Upon receipt of a manuscript the editor will notify the corresponding
author that the submission has been received. Received manuscripts
are first examined by the JSSM editors and check about Plagiarism by using a commercial software program. Manuscripts with insufficient
priority for publication and the presence of Plagiarism are rejected promptly. Manuscripts not
prepared in the advised style will be sent back to authors without
scientific review. We encourage authors to suggest the names of
potential reviewers, but we reserve the right of final selection.
The manuscript will undergo a double-blinded review process. Under this
process, the editor will forward (electronically) the manuscript
to two independent reviewers. Normally the review process will
take approximately 4 weeks. After the review process has been
completed the main author will be notified via E-mail either of
acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript. If the main
author has not been informed of the results of the review process
after 8 weeks from the date of confirmation of receipt of the
manuscript (by the editor), the author should notify the editor-in-chief
directly. If revision was recommended, this should be completed
and returned to the editor within 4 weeks, failure to return the
revised manuscript within the allotted time span will lead to
rejection of the manuscript. When a manuscript has been accepted
for publication it will be forwarded to the editor-in-chief for
final approval. The editor-in-chief will work with the main author
to make necessary revisions in order for the manuscript to appear
in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine. The final proof
of the manuscript will be sent to the main author as an E-mail
attachment. If the main author requires any minor changes to the
finished work, these should be submitted electronically to the
editor-in-chief within one week.
PERMISSIONS
Materials taken from other sources must be accompanied by a written
statement from both author and publisher giving permission to
the Journal for reproduction. Obtain permission in writing from
at least one author of papers still in press, unpublished data,
and personal communications.

LEGENDS
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: Please include a brief biography, approximately
50 words per author, for each author including (1) academic
title/degrees, (2) institution affiliation, (3) research focus,
(4) post and e-mail addresses and (5) photograph produced in
JPEG format.
TABLES, FIGURES, VIDEO, ANIMATION ETC: The location within
the article where e.g. figures and tables appear should be indicated
in the text. These materials (e.g. table, figure) should be
submitted separately from the text document. Each item should
be produced in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint),
GIF, or TIFF format. Electronically produced drawings, graphs,
photographs, photomicrographs, animation, and video are all acceptable.
Limit still art files to 700 kilobytes of memory and use 96
dpi resolution or consult with the editor-in-chief. Please have
original photos or negatives available to submit on the request
of the editor-in-chief. Clearly identify digitally enhanced
images as such and describe the method of enhancement. Include
internal scale markers where appropriate. The author is responsible
for ensuring that persons pictured in photographs have provided
informed consent for the use of their pictures. Please include
the photographer's name with each photograph so that he or she
can be properly acknowledged. Submit each item separately and
number sequentially as (main author) Figure 1.jpg, (main author)
Figure2.jpg, and so on, for example, GurFigure1.jpg, GurTable1.doc,
GurVideo1.avi. Video clips should be less than 8 seconds in
length; segments of greater length should be broken into a series
of shorter clips. Make sure that each video clip is referred
to within the body of the manuscript, together with an appropriate
description of it.
Tables
Tables capture information concisely, and display it efficiently; they also
provide information at any desired level of detail and precision. Including
data in tables rather than text frequently makes it possible to reduce the length
of the text.
Type each table with double spacing on a separate
sheet of paper. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation
in the text and supply a brief title for each. Do not use internal horizontal
or vertical lines. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading. Authors
should place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Explain in
footnotes all nonstandard abbreviations. For footnotes use the following symbols,
in sequence:
*,†,‡,§,||,¶,**,††,‡‡
Identify statistical measures of variations, such
as standard deviation and standard error of the mean, and give the variations
in parentheses.
Be sure that each table is cited in the text.
If you use data from another published or unpublished source, obtain permission,
and acknowledge them fully.
REVIEW ARTICLE

page space:
TITLE: Capital letters. All titles should include ‘a Systematic Review’.
