Abstracting and indexing

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 12.68.[2] In recent years, the British Journal of Sports Medicine has consistently been one of the highest ranking journals in the field of Sports Science and Medicine.[3]

International Olympic Committee Consensus Statements

Since 2009, the BJSM has partnered with the International Olympic Committee to produce regular consensus statements regarding important issues in sports injury prevention and elite sport. Some of the recent examples include Consensus Statements on Concussion in sport (the "Berlin guidelines"),[4] Relative energy deficiency in sport,[5] Relationship between training load and injury,[6] Mental Health Issues in Athletes [7] and Methods for injury and Illness surveillance.[8] These statements can assist in guiding clinicians.[9]

Controversies

In October 2018, over 170 academics signed a letter to the journal complaining after it ran an opinion piece by Aseem Malhotra. The group argued that the article made the "misleading and wrong" statement that saturated fat did not cause heart disease.[10] Fiona Godlee, editor-in-chief of The BMJ defended the BJSM's right to challenge "the status quo in some settings".[10]

The IOC consensus statements are also not without controversy, with some writers accusing them of excessive conflict of interest.[11]
