Table
1: Impact factors
(citations per article per year) of journals in exercise and sport science,
including key multidisciplinary journals, for the years 1999 through 2002.
Journals without an impact factor are not in ISI's science or social
sciences databases, either because the journal is too new or the factor is
too low. A question mark indicates absence of an impact factor for a journal
previously in the database. Download an enhanced version of this
table as an Excel spreadsheet.
