Performance Enhancement & Health is a multi-disciplinary, international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research on the enhancement of human functioning and health. Reflecting its multi-disciplinary scope, PEH publishes research that investigates performance enhancement and health through the lens of social sciences and humanities. PEH strives to cover different facets of performance enhancement, such as productivity, identity, social capital, and/or human functioning. PEH adopts a biopsychosocial approach to health. In turn, contributions may cover physical, mental, and/or social aspects of health.Performance Enhancement & Health welcomes papers, in English, on topics including, but not restricted to, the following:• Human enhancement drugs, novel psychoactive substances, traditional drugs, doping, pharmaceuticals and supplements • Sport, exercise and fitness • Drugs policy, anti-doping policy, harm reduction, and drug prevention, education and treatment • Athletes' health and wellbeing • Body shape and image, and bodily functions • Workplace and school performance • Quality of life, (anti-)aging, and lifestyle • Fatigue and injury prevention • Self-regulation of performance and human functioningPlease be aware that manuscripts only focused on pure sport science fall outside the scope of this journal. We will only consider these types of manuscripts (quantitative and/or qualitative) if they are also related to health. The same applies to other manuscripts that do not relate their focus to performance enhancement and/or health. Feel free to contact the Editor-in-Chief to discuss whether your article is within the scope of PEH.

ISSN: 1469-0292
5 Year impact factor: 4
Impact factor: 3.1

An Official Journal of the European Federation of Sport Psychology (FEPSAC)Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. To be considered for publication, manuscripts must make a substantive theoretical or methodological contribution. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication include results from high quality empirical research, reviews, meta-analyses, reports of professional practice (which need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description), registered reports (click here for more details), and commentaries concerning already published PSE papers. Authors should adhere to recognised reporting guidelines for research (e.g., PRISMA guidelines for reviews and meta-analyses; TIDieR guidelines for interventions; CONSORT statement for randomised trials). Registered reports undergo a two-phase review process in which study rationale and methodology are considered prior to the research being undertaken. Authors are welcome to pre-register their study with an external organization (e.g. OSF), but it is not required. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. Quantitative studies should be theoretically informed and empirical research justified with a-priori power estimates provided (drawing on effects sizes from previous meta-analyses and/or specific papers with designs close to the one authors use). Qualitative studies should address the ontological/epistemo... position and methodological rigour of the study. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more. Please click here for more information on our author services.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support CenterAdditional information If you wish to contact one of the Editors-in-Chief for any reason, (e.g. becoming a reviewer, interest in joining editorial board, issue about journal policy) please email the Editors-in-Chief (please go to "View full editorial board list" to send an email). All manuscripts should be presented as concisely as possible. Authors should consider making available some of their material as supplementary electronic material to keep the overall page limit around 30 pages (8000 words) including references, tables, and figures. If manuscripts are mixed-methods, multiple experiments, complex designs, or include large tables and data sets (qualitative and/or quantitative), authors are requested to provide more information about their rationale for a longer page length (more than 8000 words) for their paper during the review process (e.g., in the cover letter to the Editors). The editorial team will then decide on the appropriateness of a longer page length when considering the submission. All submissions are screened by one of the editors before they are sent out for review to assess their suitability for the journal. Hence, there is no need to contact the editors prior to submission. The editors will also consider short communications for publication and such submissions should be a maximum of 15 pages including abstract (150 words max), main text, references, tables, and figures. Commentaries on published PSE papers should be a maximum of 5 pages, including abstract, references, tables, and figures.
