International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes critical reviews of research literature in sport and exercise psychology. Typically, these reviews evaluate relevant conceptual and methodological issues in the field and provide a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of empirical studies that address common themes or hypotheses. The reviews present summaries of, and conclusions about, the current state of knowledge concerning topics of interest, as well as assessments of relevant unresolved issues and future trends. Reviews of research literature on theories, topics and issues that are at the interface with mainstream psychology are especially welcome.Submissions:Although research on sport and exercise psychology is expanding rapidly, it is difficult to locate comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date literature reviews in this field. In an attempt to fill this major gap, International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology (IRSEP) welcomes submissions containing substantial (up to 8,000 words in length) critical and integrative reviews of the research literature in sport and exercise psychology. Ideally, such scholarly papers should summarise the current state of knowledge about a given topic or question, provide critical assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of previous studies in the field, evaluate relevant conceptual and methodological issues, identify emerging trends in the literature and outline potentially fruitful avenues for further research. Manuscripts that contain reviews of research literature on theories, topics and issues at the interface with mainstream psychological science are especially appropriate for the journal. Equally welcome are integrative research reviews that propose theoretical connections between different areas of research within sport and exercise psychology and/or between topics and issues in this field and those in mainstream psychology. Papers of the highest standard are accepted over a wide range of topics (see forthcoming articles). Longer reviews may be considered at the Editor's discretion, should they be considered to make a substantial contribution to the field. Some feedback from those in the field:"As a mature discipline, sport and exercise psychology must critically review its output, not only to assess what has passed, but also to point to what is to come. International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology is a welcome addition to the scholarly journals in our field for vigorously taking up this challenge."Professor Tony MorrisVictoria University, Australia"I look forward to reading the International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology (IRSEP). For some time our field has been sufficiently advanced that there is a need for such a review journal 8211; one that provides concise, timely summaries of current knowledge on critical topics, reviews key methodological and conceptual issues, and supports substantive-methodological synergies. IRSEP articles should be of broad interest to students and practitioners. However, in an age of specialization, they should also appeal to leading researchers wanting to stay abreast of the latest and best research outside -- but related to -- their specific areas of interest. Inevitably, IRSEP should become one of the most widely read and cited journals in our field."Professor Herb MarshOxford University, UK"IRSEP is a new journal devoted to give an overview of the research in sport and exercise psychology. It will examine issues critical to the various topics of this growing field of research, by offering many stimulating ideas and additional knowledge. Its features are designed to address different theoretical contributions, as well as various approaches and concepts dealing with the interaction between psychology and sport performance. IRSEP will be very useful for the experts in the general field of sport psychology, such as scholars and students, as well as qualified teachers and practitioners." Dr. Aymeric GuillotUniversity Claude Bernard, Lyon8220;Given the rapidly expanding knowledge-base in the field of sport and exercise psychology, there is a clear need for a journal that provides in-depth reviews, meta-analyses, and research syntheses to provide researchers and practitioners alike with evidence-based overviews of the state of the literature. I fully welcome the arrival of IRSEP" Dr Martin HaggerUniversity of Nottingham, UK"With the information explosion occurring today, more than ever before a need exists for knowledge integration, where experts summarize and critically critique existing sport and exercise psychology literature identifying key findings and gaps in the knowledge base. Such reviews will help spur future research, advance conceptualization on key topics and help identify implications for guiding practice. IRSEP, then, will help advance sport and exercise psychology by providing a central location for critical reviews in the field" Prof Daniel GouldMichigan State University, USA"Sport and exercise psychology is in need of quality review articles to help summarize our knowledge and spur new research. IRSEP is just the ticket to fill this important void in our field" Prof Robert WeinbergMiami University, USA"IRSEP will provide critical reviews that can be hugely valuable to students, practitioners and established scholars." Professor Stuart BiddleLoughborough University, UK"8216;This new journal will allow the literature base for field of sport and exercise psychology to grow dramatically. Reviews allow scholars to quickly understand the current issues within any one topic; students, teachers and researchers will find the articles in this journal extremely helpful in their work" Prof Nanette MutrieStrathclyde University, UK"The study of the psychology of movement will be enriched by the availability of a journal dedicated to empirical reviews and interpretations of the rapidly-growing and widely-published empirical literature in sport and exercise psychology" Prof David E. ConroyThe Pennsylvania State University, USAPeer Review IntegrityAll research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.
