On June 1, Maureen Weiss, professor of kinesiology, became the editor of Kinesiology Review, the official journal of the National Academy of Kinesiology and the American Kinesiology Association—the two societies that oversee the scholarly, engagement, teaching, and service realms of the discipline as a whole.
The mission of Kinesiology Review is to advance the field by publishing evaluative, insightful, and integrative scholarly reviews, including theoretical expositions, position papers, critical analyses of significant issues, and similar manuscripts along conceptual and multidisciplinary lines. The journal is unique in publishing reviews from all sub-disciplines within kinesiology—biological, physical, social, psychological, historical, philosophical—and strongly encourages papers that focus on important and timely issues that consider the contribution and interaction of multiple perspectives.
