INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
(Last updated: 01 Mar 2021)
Biology of Sport is the official journal of the Institute of Sport – National Research Institute located in Warsaw (Poland) published since 1984.
AIM AND SCOPE
Biology of Sport is an international scientific peer-reviewed journal, published quarterly in electronic format. The journal publishes articles concerning basic and applied sciences in sport: sports and exercise physiology, sports genetics, training and testing, sports performance and analysis, as well as in other biological aspects related to sport.
Biology of Sport invites the submission of high quality original research articles, short communications and review papers. Please note that only those manuscripts that have not been published anywhere else are eligible for consideration. The only exception is the presentation of preliminary data (i.e. as an abstract); in such cases the authors are obliged to make an appropriate note in the manuscript.
A cover letter (authors’ statement) must be signed by all authors, stating that all the above requirements have been appropriately fulfilled and that they agree to publication of the manuscript in Biology of Sport. The authors are solely responsible for the scientific content as well as for the ethical and legal aspects of their work. Detailed information on preparation of the manuscript is described in the Instructions for Authors.
EDITORIAL PROCESS
To achieve the aim of publishing top-quality papers, the editorial process in Biology of Sport consists of two stages: pre-review (1) and peer review (2).
First stage: Pre-review
After submission, a paper enters the pre-review stage. The aim of pre-review is to identify papers potential interesting for Biology of Sport readers.
The pre-review assessment is based on the following criteria:
1. Does the paper fall within the broad remit of Biology of Sport?
2. Is the paper appropriately formatted for Biology of Sport?
3. Is the paper novel and interesting?
4. Is the subject area covered by the paper topical and, hence, potentially of interest to a wide readership?
5. Does the paper have the potential to make a substantial contribution to the development of a broad sports subject area?
Second stage: Peer review evaluation
If a paper is not rejected at the pre-review stage it then goes into peer review. Each paper is typically reviewed by two independent reviewers (more if necessary, and in some cases the review process can rely on the report of only one reviewer) and a member of the editorial team then makes a decision concerning publication, either:
• Reject – the paper is not acceptable for publication and re-submission will not be considered; or
• Major Revision – the paper requires major changes and needs to go through the review process again with no guarantee of acceptance; or
• Minor Revision – the paper is provisionally accepted, subject to conditions that need to be addressed in producing a final version of the manuscript.
In both cases of revision, the authors are allowed a period of 4 weeks to return their corrected manuscripts. Any extension of that period has to be discussed with the editor in chief.
ETHICAL GUIDELINES
The editors of Biology of Sport support the policy of prevention of ghostwriting, guest authorship and plagiarism.
Ghostwriting is the case of contributing to a publication without revealing one’s participation as one of the authors or without reference to one’s role in the acknowledgments in the publication.
Guest authorship (honorary authorship) is the case of insignificant contribution of the author or its complete absence and nevertheless being named as the author or co-author of the publication.
The editors reserve the right to reveal all aspects of scientific dishonesty, i.e. failure to comply with actions eliminating the occurrence of the aforementioned practices.
The editors require that authors reveal individual co-authors’ contributions to
the publication. When submitting a manuscript, the authors will be requested to declare their contribution to:
study design/planning, data collection/entry, data analysis/statistics, data interpretation, preparation of manuscript, literature analysis/search, collection of funds.
Plagiarism is when an author attempts to pass off someone else’s work as his or her own. Duplicate publication, sometimes called self-plagiarism, occurs when an author reuses substantial parts of his or her own published work without providing the appropriate references. The authors accept that a submitted manuscript may be screened for plagiarism against previously published works. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized will incur plagiarism sanctions: immediate rejection of the submitted manuscript or published article, no return of the article-processing charge, prohibition of any new submissions.
Ethical Approval
All experimental studies using human or animal subjects should include an explicit statement in the Material and Methods section identifying the ethics committee approval for each study. It is recommended (not required) to obtain a certificate of completion of the training course “Protecting Human Research Participants” from the National Institute of Health. Any doubts concerning fulfilment of the ethical standards will lead to rejection of the manuscript.
