Call for Nominations:
Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology
The Publications and Communications (P&C) Board of the American Psychological Association and Division 47 (Exercise and Sport Psychology) of the APA have opened nominations for the editorship of Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology for the years 2011–2016. The editor search committee is co-chaired by Ed Acevedo, PhD, and Robert Frank, PhD.
Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, to begin publishing in 2011, will publish 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, qualitative research, correlational studies, and evaluation studies. In addition, historical papers, critical reviews, case studies, brief reports, critical evaluations of policies and procedures, and position statements will be considered for publication.
Editorial candidates should be available to start receiving manuscripts in July 2010 to prepare for issues published in 2011. Please note that the P&C Board encourages participation by members of underrepresented groups in the publication process and would particularly welcome such nominees. Self-nominations are also encouraged.
