“EJSS is one of the preeminent multidisciplinary sport science journals,” said Allyn Molina, Vice President for Life Sciences at Wiley. “As a publisher at the forefront of the transition to open access, Wiley looks forward to partnering with ECSS to take EJSS to the next level and establish it as the leading open resource for sport science.”
EJSS publishes the highest caliber scientific research and scholarship in applied sport science; sports and exercise medicine; biomechanics and motor control; physiology and nutrition; and psychology, social science, and humanities. The journal will welcome open access submissions starting in autumn of 2023 and expects to complete the transition to fully open access by January 2024.

As a disseminator of high quality, multidisciplinary sport science research, ECSS supports the movement towards an open publishing environment, making research more accessible and discoverable to everyone.”
This new partnership reflects Wiley’s ongoing commitment to the principles and practices of open access. Wiley partners with more professional societies than any other publisher to disseminate scientific knowledge with the fewest possible barriers to access and sharing.
