Manuscript Submission to the Journal of Health, Sports, & Kinesiology (JOHSK)

Please confirm that all authors listed on the manuscript are registered and paid members of the International Organization for Health, Sports, and Kinesiology (IOHSK) at the time of submission.

For manuscripts submitted prior to December 10, 2025 that have not yet been accepted, this policy will apply retroactively. Manuscripts that do not meet this requirement will not proceed to the peer-review process, and no submission confirmation will be issued to the corresponding author.

Please provide each author’s full name and IOHSK membership number (e.g., John Martin, 07-2026-36000).

A portion of the annual IOHSK membership fees supports publication-related expenses, including the peer-review process, article layout and design, editorial and production software, DOI assignment, Crossref registration, and indexing services.
If you would like, I can also prepare:

a shorter checkbox-style version for an online submission form, or
a more formal policy version for JOHSK author guidelines.
