The Journal of Athletic Training
The Medical Writing Department of the Foundation has been providing editorial services to the Journal of Athletic Training since 1996. The Journal is the quarterly, scholarly, peer-reviewed publication of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, with a worldwide circulation of 29,000 health-care professionals and institutions.

To date, the department has processed more than 1200 manuscripts for the Journal. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least three sports medicine professionals, including one member of the Editorial Board. Our reviewer database currently contains 500 experts in a wide variety of fields.

In 2004, the Journal switched to a fully online system of manuscript submission and peer review. This new system saves both time and money and has significantly improved efficiency.
