Elseviers Scopus and Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR) are reporting inaccurate publication and citation metrics for the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT), particularly for the years 2018 and 2019. Despite repeated requests, Elsevier has failed to correct or explain this error to those who use these services, which misrepresents the JOSPT as having a lower impact in the field of musculoskeletal research and rehabilitation. For an accurate representation of the impact of the JOSPT in these fields, authors and readers should rely on the current Web of Science Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Journal Impact Factor (JIF), which report the Journals current impact factor to be 3.839 and its 5-year impact factor to be 4.053.

JOSPT enters its 36th year of publishing guided by a new 3-year strategic plan, its third since 2008. This plan, created last September with the generous participation of JOSPT's many stakeholders, could be said to have as its motto “plus ultra,” Latin for “further beyond.” JOSPT's vision is to go further beyond where it is today to become the pre-eminent source of scientific evidence to optimize movement and health for the global community. Its mission, grounded in the past but driving toward the future, is to disseminate scientifically rigorous, clinically relevant content for physical therapists and others in the health care community to advance musculoskeletal and sports-related rehabilitation and movement.

The year 2014 marks the 35th anniversary of the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy. Begun on a kitchen table in 1979, JOSPT is now the top-ranked physical therapy journal in the categories of rehabilitation, orthopaedics, and sports sciences. JOSPT has grown into its tagline: “The Global Resource for Musculoskeletal Health, Injury, and Rehabilitation.” We will work to continue to be this resource in the year ahead—certainly for the physical therapy profession, but also for the broader health care community. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2014;44(1):3–5. doi:10.2519/jospt.2014.0102

With this issue, JOSPT announces changes to its Board of Directors and publishes a special report titled “It Takes a Team: The 2013 Boston Marathon: Preparing for and Recovering From a Mass-Casualty Event.” J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2014;44(3):140. doi:10.2519/jospt.2014.0105

Published jointly by JOSPT and The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS), “It Takes a Team: Working Together Works for Patients” is a first-of-its-kind publication that describes how collaboration among orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapists, and other healthcare clinicians working in a variety of clinical settings has improved patient outcomes. This Special Report is available as a free download from JOSPT's website. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2013;43(3):117. doi:10.2519/jospt.2013.0103

Effective April 7, 2008, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) began to enforce a new law requiring all investigators funded by NIH to submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication. Further, these manuscripts must be made publicly available no later than 12 months after their official publication dates.

Concerns for the environment and the broader issue of ‘sustainability’ abound. As are other organizations, including nonprofits, the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy is wrestling with the implications of these issues for how we do business. While we have yet to hammer out a clear statement of the Journal's position, policy, and metrics for tracking our performance in these areas, we are mindful of our many stakeholders' sustainability concerns and want to acknowledge them. With this editorial, we aim to begin a dialog with, and a periodic report to, our authors, reviewers, editors, readers, advertisers, Board of Directors, and Section owners about where we are on the path to sustainable publishing and what we are doing to address these issues. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2008;38(5):226–227. doi:10.2519/jospt.2008.0106

This new year brings significant enhancements to the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy that are intended to increase JOSPT's usefulness to you as readers and authors, clinicians and researchers. With this print issue and beginning in February 2007 on the Journal's website, we offer you improved design and functionality that build on the JOSPT's 28-year tradition of publishing the best available research and clinical literature in the field.
