Newswise — The American College of Sports Medicine® (ACSM) announced the 2023 Paper of the Year for each of its six highly acclaimed journals, including its newest publication, Exercise, Sport, and Movement.
The annual Paper of the Year award recognizes the demonstrated scientific and scholarly significance and impact of an article published during the previous year. The selections for the award, now in its fifth year, were made by the editorial board of each journal after receiving nominations from the associate editors.
“ACSM has a longstanding reputation for publishing premier scholarly journals,” said Publications Committee Chair Karyn Hamilton, Ph.D., FACSM. “That directly reflects the quality of submissions we receive, and we congratulate the author groups for winning this prestigious award.”
