As we approach the end of 2015 and the completion of the first ever volume of Sports Medicine - Open, the editors and production staff at SpringerOpen wish to reflect on a successful year’s achievements and pay thanks to all those who have contributed their time and effort to establish this new journal.
We have been delighted by the way the sports science community has embraced the new journal and grateful for the number of high-quality submissions that the journal has received. The inaugural volume of Sports Medicine - Open will close with more than 20 original research articles, a dozen review articles (including systematic reviews), one particularly well-downloaded current opinion piece, and two editorials. And while we must offer our sincere thanks to all the authors who have contributed thus far, the quality of published articles is, similarly, testament to the significant efforts of the peer reviewers, whose commitment ensures that our content is held to the highest possible standard.
In addition to the members of our Honorary Editorial Board, we would like to thank the following individuals who have acted as reviewers for Sports Medicine - Open, since the journal began receiving submissions in mid-2014:
