The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Simulation, Kinematics, Artificial intelligence and Motor control. The Physical medicine and rehabilitation works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Ankle and Physical therapy. The studies in Simulation featured incorporate elements of Movement (music) and Control theory.
Human Movement Science explores research in Movement (music) and the adjacent study of Cognitive psychology. Some problems in Cognitive psychology that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Developmental psychology and Cognition. Developmental disorder is a focus of the Developmental psychology works in the journal.
Human Movement Science addresses concerns in Kinematics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Gait (human) and Biomechanics. The journal focuses on Artificial intelligence but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Computer vision and Motor learning. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Electromyography, apply to Anatomy as well.
The published papers mainly tackle studies in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Simulation, Body movement, Artificial intelligence and Developmental psychology. The works on Physical medicine and rehabilitation tackled in the journal papers bring together disciplines like Ankle, Physical therapy, Trunk and Biomechanics. Aside from discussions in Simulation, the most cited papers also deal with the subject of Kinematics which intersects with Gait (human) disciplines.
Human Movement Science is organized to address concerns in the fields of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Cognitive psychology, Motor learning, Audiology and Kinematics. While Physical medicine and rehabilitation is the focus of Human Movement Science, it also provided insights into the studies of Cognition and Motor control. The Motor control research presented in the journal also delves into studies in intersecting subjects like
Cognitive psychology research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Motor skill, Perception, Gaze, Movement (music) and Process (engineering). The journal tackles studies in Test (assessment) and the interrelated subject of Reliability (statistics) to gain insights into Motor learning. The journal facilitates discussions on Audiology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Sample entropy and Autism spectrum disorder.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Human Movement Science (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Human Movement Science (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 2.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.02% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.56% of all publications and 52.63% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
The quality of published papers largely depends on the expertise and knowledge of their authors. It's crucial to elucidate the qualifications and learning pathway to become competent contributors in human movement science. A substantial portion of contributors in this field are often associated with speech and language therapy, and in other similar or supporting roles.
For instance, to become a speech-language pathologist, or a speech therapist, in South Carolina and similarly elsewhere, there are a series of educational and licensure requirements that must be fulfilled. You can learn more about these prerequisites in our article, how to be a speech therapist in South Carolina.
In general, researchers and practitioners in the field typically hold at least a master's degree in related disciplines. Furthermore, they often undergo rigorous training and apprenticeship under experienced mentors. Their educational background not only equips them with essential technical skills, but also inculcates a scientific temperament that aids in research. The qualifications also include having a proclivity towards incessant learning and staying updated with advancements in the field.
The contributing authors to our journal come from diverse educational backgrounds, and this diversity catalyzes a broadened outlook on human movement science, leads to comprehensive discussions, and primary contributions to the field.

(2021)For students interested in expanding their expertise beyond traditional psychology programs, several focused online degrees offer specialized career pathways. For example, pursuing an art therapy masters programs can equip graduates with creative techniques to support mental health through therapeutic art practices.
Another strong option for those drawn to community and clinical support roles is the online masters of social work. This degree prepares students for impactful careers addressing social issues and advocating for vulnerable populations.
For those seeking to advance quickly, several accelerated masters in psychology offer streamlined coursework designed to help students earn graduate credentials in less time without sacrificing quality.
Similarly, the online masters in mental health counseling prepare students for licensure and clinical practice, equipping them with therapeutic skills focused on mental health interventions.
