Guide for Author
Editorial Mission Strength and Conditioning Journal is the professional journal for strength coaches, personal trainers, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and other health professionals working in the strength and conditioning field. The journal's goal is to publish articles that combine the practical applications of previously published peer-reviewed research findings and the knowledge of experienced professionals. This mission includes integrating these two sources of knowledge, providing practitioners with the most accurate information available, and providing a forum for the exchange of information between the many disciplines involved in strength and conditioning.
Editorial Scope Each issue of Strength and Conditioning Journal features articles relevant to the field of strength and conditioning, as well as columns and other features that provide thought-provoking accounts of issues in the strength and conditioning field. Articles are generally 2,000-3,000 words and should focus on a specific topic relevant to our field. Review articles are generally 3,000-5,000 words and should provide a balanced review of a well-researched topic in our field with application to practitioners.
The columns that appear in the journal and are open to outside submission include: Bridging the Gap, One-On-One, Rehab and Flexibility Tips, Special Populations, Nutrition and Ergogenic Aids, Sport-Specific Conditioning, High School Corner, and Exercise Techniques.
Columns should be approximately 1,000-1,250 words and should focus on topics the practitioner can put to immediate practical use. Columns should be appropriately referenced, and generally contain 10 or fewer references. Due to length restrictions, there is a maximum of four tables/figures in a column. Specials features include: Research Notes, the JSCR Corner, Media Review, CEU Quiz, Point/Counterpoint, and the College Coaches Corner.

The following formats are accepted for text: Microsoft Word (.doc), Corel WordPerfect (.wpd), Microsoft Rich Text Format (.rtf), and ASCII Text (.txt). Table files may be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc). Figure files will be accepted if they are in one of the following formats: Tagged Image File Format (.tif), Encapsulated PostScript (.eps), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt).

SAMPLE 揅urrent Position? T. Jeff Chandler is the Editor in Chief of Strength and Conditioning Journal, and the Department Head of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, AL.
Author photos should be submitted in the non-blinded section. Reviewers will not have access to the non-blinded section.
Blinded Manuscript and Author Materials The blinded manuscript should contain a blinded title page (without author contact information), key words, lead summary, text, table and figure captions (if applicable), and references. These parts of the blinded manuscript should be submitted in one text file. Tables and figures are submitted separately. For articles and review articles, the blinded title page should also list five or six key words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross-indexing the article. Key words may come from the title as well as the body of the article.
Lead Summary The article or column should include a brief lead summary for indexing purposes. Column lead summaries should be no more than 50 words, and article lead summaries should be no more than 100 words. The lead summary is used to index the manuscript using electronic databases. It serves the same purpose as an 揳bstract?in a research manuscript.
Text A simple, straightforward writing style is most effective for articles and columns submitted to the journal. Priority will be given to articles that have useful practical information presented in a concise, logical, and clear manner.
References Articles published in Strength and Conditioning Journal should be appropriately referenced. When citing research results, authors should use the original published research paper as their reference and not a book or review article that discusses the research.
Accuracy of all references is the responsibility of the authors. Avoid references to personal communications, non-professional for-profit websites, unpublished abstracts, unpublished presentations, and unpublished data. Referenced web pages should meet the following criteria: 1. refereed online journal, 2. refereed journal article on CD-ROM, 3. government resource website, 4. website for major nonprofit professional organization such as: NSCA, ACSM, NATA, etc.
All references should be alphabetized by the last name of the lead author. Numbers should then be assigned to each reference. Parenthetical numbers in the text [(1); (4, 5); (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10)] should correspond to the numbered alphabetized reference list. Each reference listed must be cited in the text. Do not use et al. in the reference list. List all authors. Multiple texts by the same authors are listed chronologically, then alphabetically. Please double check all references to ensure that they contain correct information and are in the correct order. Sample reference types follow:
Book Page numbers are required to reference specific text from a book. References to entire books without page numbers are not permissible.

Tables Tables should be placed in a separate electronic file. Do NOT submit tables as photographs. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading.
Illustrations and Photographs The Editor in Chief encourages authors to submit color photographs, charts, and figures that help to illustrate new and unique aspects of the article. All such material should be placed in separate files. Figure and table captions (legends) should be part of the manuscript file as figures and their legends take separate production paths. Columns are limited to a total of 4 figures/tables, and topical articles are limited to a total of 15 figures/tables.
Charts and illustrations must be of good technical quality. Color photographs are encouraged. All photographs should demonstrate adequate health and safety procedures in the weight room or training environment (i.e. wearing shirts and shoes, removing hats, using safety collars on the bar). The focus of the photograph should not be on a commercial product or the identity of a school or business. SCJ reserves the right to request new, revised photos if the original photos contain an identifiable logo, product name, school name, business name, etc. if the photo is not of acceptable quality, or if the photo demonstrates unsafe practices (no collars, no shoes, etc).
Electronic Figures Please refer to the link on the Strength and Conditioning Journal Editorial Manager login page, ? Steps to Creating Digital Artwork (PDF)?for additional information on submitting figures. Do NOT send files with figures (photographs, charts, tables, graphics) embedded in the text. Figure files MUST be separate from text files. Electronic photographs copied and pasted into Word and PowerPoint will NOT be accepted. Halftone and color images should be scanned at a minimum of 300 pixels per inch (ppi). Line art should be scanned at 1200 ppi. Please indicate the file format of the graphics. We accept TIFF or EPS format for both Macintosh and PC platforms.
If you will be using a digital camera to capture images for print production, you must use the highest resolution setting option with the least amount of compression. Digital camera manufactures use many different terms and file formats when capturing high-resolution images, so please refer to your camera抯 manual for more information.
Photographs and Artwork for the Cover The author may submit photographs and artwork with the electronic submission for consideration for the cover of the journal. Please indicate if you would like your artwork to be considered for the cover of an issue. For electronic files, please see the Electronic Figures instructions above for complete guidelines.
Copyright By submitting an article to Strength and Conditioning Journal, all authors of columns or articles agree to transfer copyright to the National Strength and Conditioning Association. A copyright transfer form is available to the corresponding author at the time of manuscript submission and must be returned immediately upon acceptance for publication. A signed copyright transfer form is required for publication. Please mail the SIGNED copyright form to: NSCA, ATTENTION: COPYRIGHT RELEASE, 1885 Bob Johnson Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80906. (The copyright release form can be downloaded http://www.nsca-lift.org/publications/SCJCopyrightRelease.pdf) If there is a duality of interest, a cover letter MUST be submitted explaining the duality of interest. Authors also acknowledge that all text, tables, and figures are original works. If a table or figure is copied from a previously published source, it is the responsibility of the author to obtain and provide proof of permission to republish that table or figure.
Compliance with NIH and Other Research Funding Agency Accessibility Requirements A number of research funding agencies now require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, LWW will identify to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and will transmit the post-print of an article based on research funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, or other funding agencies to PubMed Central. The revised Copyright Transfer Agreement provides the mechanism.
