Aims & scope more
The Korean Society of Sports Physical Therapy (KSSPT) has consistently been leading trends in the field of sports physical therapy by conducting educational programs for academia within and outside Korea with the aim of ensuring academic journals are of high quality. The Archives of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy (AOSPT) is a journal released by the KSSPT and its main goal is to publish studies related to sports physical therapy and sports science that are based on recent scientific evidence. Studies published in the AOSPT must engage with creative topics to ultimately contribute to the development of rehabilitation medicine and physical therapy. The AOSPT focuses on fields related to sports physical therapy, medicine, and rehabilitation. The chief editor designates an editor to each research field corresponding to their areas of specialization which are as follows:
The research ethics guideline of the Archives of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy (AOPST) published by the Korean Society of Sports Physical Therapy is in compliance with the guideline developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). The ICMJE guideline is used in situations where the research ethics guideline of the AOPST is not applicable.
This is to set a standard that can be used to manage and prevent any misconduct as well as any ethical and social issues that may arise during the processes of data collection, writing articles, article submission, and publication.
Once scientific misconduct is proven according to conventional standards, publication of the corresponding paper will be cancelled and the first author and corresponding authors will be restricted from publishing papers for the next three years. Co-authors will be given a strict warning. Scientific misconduct is prevented through research ethics education and related literature.
