The International Society of Biomechanics is proud to announce a new partnership with the Journal of Applied Biomechanics (JAB).
As the society celebrates its 50th anniversary and JAB prepares to celebrate its 40th, this new relationship is founded on decades of mutual commitment to furthering biomechanical strategies to advance the study of human movement. ISB members will receive complimentary subscription access to the journal as well as a 50% discount on open access publication fees (limitations apply) for articles accepted by the journal.
In addition, ISB members who are currently employed in World Bank designated low- and middle-income countries and are authors of articles accepted for publication in JAB will have their articles made free to read, without charge, for the first 3 months of publication. JAB will also publish the ISB World Athletics Award for Biomechanics paper.
Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Dr. Katherine Boyer (current member of the ISB Executive Council), JAB is a well-regarded journal with an Impact Factor of 1.606 and an acceptance rate <15%. JAB is active in marketing the articles it publishes on social media and is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar. JAB is a hybrid-model journal with no submission or publication fees, but open access publishing is available.
“JAB is excited to partner with ISB and we welcome submissions from all society members,” said Dr. Boyer. “The journal is a great destination for your best work and is committed to timely peer review and superb dissemination. Your research will make an impact when published in JAB.”
