International recognition for Tibor Hortobágyi: Biomechanics journal earns prestigious ranking

Professor Tibor Hortobágyi, research professor at the Department of Kinesiology at the Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS), has received significant international recognition for his editorial leadership, having achieved major progress in elevating the international ranking of the journal Biomechanics.

With the help of Professor Francois Prince (section editor-in-chief: sports biomechanics), Dr Luis Augusto Teixeira (section editor-in-chief: neuromechanics), the editorial board with over 50 members, and with the collective effort of the editorial community, the journal is proud to have received the first impact factor. The score compares well with journals in this sub-discipline (Journal of Biomechanics IF 2.4; Gait & Posture IF 2.4; Sports Biomechanics IF 2.0; Journal of Biomechanical Engineering IF 1.7; Clinical Biomechanics IF 1.4; Journal of Applied Biomechanics IF 1.3; Applied Bionics and Biomechanics IF 0.6).

While scientific publishing has been undergoing a rapid and dynamic reconfiguration, the quality of science is the sole principle that guides the editorial and managerial teams in publishing Biomechanics. The editors continue to rely on this principle through thorough and critical reviews of submissions, increasing data transparency, developing and adhering to guidelines relative to the use of AI in publishing, and by promoting special issues and article collections.

Consider Biomechanics as a carefully edited journal for your scientific work.
