Manus are invited on a variety of applied, theoretical, and empirical research on issues pertaining to the area of applied sport science, including (but not limited to):social and natural scientific approaches to sport.

The International Journal of Applied Sports Sciences follows the American Psychological Association (APA) publication style. Notes and references should appear at the back of the manus in separate sections. Manus normally should not exceed 30 single-sided typewritten pages with 1-inch margins. All text should be double spaced (including abstracts, references and notes). MS Word documents preferred.

Contact information, including mailing address, hone and fax numbers, and e-mail address for each author must be provided on the title page. Manus submitted to the International Journal of Applied Sports ciencesshould not be under review elsewhere. Authors of manus accepted for publication in the International Journal of Applied Sports Sciences will be sent a more comprehensive style sheet to which they must adhere.

Contributors should submit their manu at this site: http://publ.sports.re.kr

Scientific misconduct

There are differing definitions of scientific misconduct. We deal with these problems at the IJASS on a case by case basis while following guidance produced by bodies that include the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

WAME gives a useful overview of misconduct, using a slightly amended version of the US Office of Research Integrity definition of scientific misconduct and including these behaviors:

Falsification of data: ranges from fabrication to deceptive reporting of findings and omission of conflicting data, or suppression and/or distortion of data.
Plagiarism: The appropriation of the language, ideas or thoughts of another without crediting their true source and representation of them as one’s own original work.
Improprieties of authorship: improper assignment of credit, such as excluding others, misrepresentation of the same material as original in more than one publication, inclusion of individuals as authors who havenot made a definite

contribution to the work published or submission of multi-authored publications without the concurrence of all authors.
Misappropriation of the ideas of others: an important aspect of scholarly activity is the exchange of ideas among colleagues. Scholars can acquire novel ideas from others during the process of reviewing grant applications and manus. However, improper use of such information can constitute fraud. Wholesale appropriation of such material constitutes misconduct.
Violation of generally accepted research practices: serious deviation from accepted practices in proposing or carrying out research, improper manipulation of experiments to obtain biased results, deceptive statistical or analytical manipulations, or improper reporting of results.
Material failure to comply with legislative and regulatory requirements affecting research: including but not limited to serious or substantial, repeated, willful violations of applicable local regulations and law involving the use of funds, care of animals, human subjects, investigational drugs, recombinant products, new devices, or radioactive, biological or chemical materials.
Inappropriate behavior in relation to misconduct: this includes unfounded or knowingly false accusations of misconduct, failure to report known or suspected misconduct, withholding of information relevant to a claim or misconduct and retaliation against persons involved in the allegation or investigation.
Many journals, including the BMJ Journals, also include redundant publication and duplicate publication, lack of declaration of competing interests and of funding/sponsorship, and other failures of transparency to be forms of misconduct.

What we do at IJASS if we suspect such misconduct?

We take seriously all possible misconduct.
an Editor has concerns that a submitted article describes something that might be considered to constitute misconduct in research, publication or professional behavior, we may discuss the case in confidence with the IJASS Ethics Committee.
If the case cannot be resolved by discussion with the author(s) and the Editor still has concerns, s/he may report the case to the appropriate authorities. If, during the course of reviewing an article, an Editor is ed to possible problems (for example, fraudulent data) in another publication, the IJASS editor may contact the journal in which the previous publication appeared to raise concern.
