I am very excited and most grateful that 6 international leaders in sports and exercise medicine have agreed to serve as Senior Associate Editors in Chief \u2013 Babette Pluim (Netherlands), Jill Cook (Australia),<\/a> Liza Arendt (US),<\/a> Steven Stovitz (US),<\/a> Roald Bahr (Norway)<\/a> and Timothy Noakes (South Africa).<\/a><\/p>\n

This senior leadership group and I will take the first 5 months of the year to catch up with the hardworking Editorial Board and engage all those who wish to contribute to the Journal.The new Associate Editors and the expanded Editorial Board will be listed in the June issue of BJSM.<\/p>\n

To contribute to the direction of BJSM,<\/a> I encourage you to provide input either in person (e.g., The RendezVous Conference in Las Vegas (March 25-29),<\/a> my visit to various UK centres in early May) or on email (karim.khan@ubc.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The BJSM vision that aims to reflect the diverse interests of the world of sport and exercise medicine will be on the web by June 1st<\/sup>. <\/p>\n

We aim to make the BJSM the premier clinically-relevant original data journal and online community. BJSM is one of the \u2018specialist journals\u2019 of the BMJ publishing group. The mother ship \u2013 the BMJ \u2013 aims to \u2018help doctors make better decisions\u2019. <\/p>\n

BMJ editors ask 3 questions about manuscripts that are submitted:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is it new?<\/li>\n
  2. Is it true? <\/li>\n
  3. Will it change what doctors do?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Given the expertise, resources, and brand recognition of the BMJ, it seems that team BJSM might do well to follow that game plan in the first instance. Thus, we will focus on clnically-relevant health and human performance.We\u2019ll aim to accept and solicit material that is new, true, and has the potential to change the things you do.<\/em><\/p>\n

    We hope this Blog helps us engage a global community to find answers.<\/p>\n

    Exciting times!<\/p>\n
