Ten year celebration--a decade of progress for Physical Therapy in Sport.

摘要

Welcome to the start of a new decade with the first issue of the eleventh volume of Physical Therapy in Sport, and it is timely to reflect on the 10 years since its inception in the current format. Physical Therapy in Sport has come a very long way in a relatively short space of time and has developed from a UK publication into a truly international one that is represented at every level from the Associate Editors. Editorial Committee, International Advisory Board, reviewers, authors and readers. In 2008 the journal was read online in 71 different countries, remarkable given that many developing countries still have limited online access. This obviously includes many countries where English is not the first language. Not only does it have an international audience, Physical Therapy in Sport publishes international research, last year alone submissions came from 25 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Portugal, Qatar, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America. A personal aim as editor has been, and continues to be, to encourage clinicians as well academics to publish by fostering collaborative links, and also to encourage publication by authors for whom English is not their first language.
