Overview

Mission

The journal of orthopaedic & sports physical therapy (jospt) publishes scientifically rigorous content and promotes its application to movement-related health. Jospt aims to be the leading international source of knowledge for movement-related health.

Online journals: jospt continued to publish scientifically rigorous, clinically relevant content online. Jospt published 12 issues across the year, expanding it's international reach with half of the published submissions originating from outside the united states. Jospt also partner's internationally to translate clinical practice guidelines and key articles into several languages. The organization expanded to include additional journals, jospt open, jospt cases, and jospt methods to further support the needs of the community.jospt methods is the newest journal in movement science media's portfolio, including jospt, jospt cases, and jospt open. The journal offers the musculoskeletal rehabilitation community a space to publish (1) evidence syntheses using different research approaches (eg. Scoping reviews, mapping reviews, or overviews of systematic reviews, and (2) specific research methods projects. Our effort to develop a new gold open-access journal is guided by our mission, the desires of the community and funders, and the positive reception that jospt open has had within the musculoskeletal rehabilitation community.jospt methods aims to publish and promote new advances in research methodology in the musculoskeletal rehabilitation field, which will benefit researchers, educators, students, and clinicians dedicated to the study and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. We take seriously our role in promoting patient and public involvement in research. Access to biomedical research is also a priority for the public, many of whom value contributing to and using medical research and communicating with researchers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
