The British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by the BMJ Group covering sports medicine and sports physiotherapy. It was established in 1964 and the editor-in-chief is Karim Khan (University of British Columbia). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 5.025.[1]

Journal content

BJSM promotes evidence-based medicine relating to clinically-relevant aspects of sport and exercise medicine, including physiotherapy, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Publications include original research, clinical reviews and editorial pieces.

Editions

Injury Prevention and Health Protection (IPHP) are regular themed issues of the journal publishing research and educational articles relevant to protecting the health of professional and amateur athletes. These issues are supported by the International Olympic Committee.[2]

Functioning of the journal

BJSM operates an optional open peer review system, whereby reviewers can sign their reports if they wish. A high proportion of submissions are rejected without being sent out for external peer review on the grounds of priority, insufficient originality, scientific flaws or the absence of message that is important to the readers of the journal. The acceptance rate for original research submitted between July 2014 and June 2015 was 8%.[3]
