 Invited Editorial The International Journal of Exercise Science: 2011 Year in Review  T. SCOTT LYONS1, JENNY HUTCHENS2, and JAMES W. NAVALTA2  1Department of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY, USA; 2Department of Health and Human Performance, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN, USA  Int J Exerc Sci 5(1) : 1-3, 2012.  The International Journal of Exercise Science (IJES) just completed its fourth year of publication, and as we move into 2012, the journal continues to increase its standing in the scientific community. We have increased our number of manuscripts per issue, our Editorial Board now has more than thirty members with six different countries represented across five different continents, and we continue to publish high quality research.  While our journal is student focused and publishes primarily student-directed research, we receive and publish an impressive amount of research submitted by professionals as well. We are quite pleased with both the volume and the quality of research that we receive, and we hope this continues to grow. We do have a number of things we still want to accomplish, however.  In the next twelve months, we want to be accepted for indexing in PubMed/Medline and in Web of Science, we want to publish an estimated impact factor and make significant progress towards being assigned an official impact factor, and we want to offer some limited space on our journal site for advertising. We are currently working on each of these goals.    One major step forward that we achieved in 2011 was increasing the role of our Student Managing Editor. This was important not only to spread the workload amongst the Editors a bit more and to ensure better quality control, but it was also beneficial to the graduate student who fills this role. The experience afforded to our Student Managing Editor in helping to construct each issue, as well as the exposure they receive to all research that we publish, is invaluable in their development as a scholar. We are very pleased with our current Student Managing Editor as she has been an excellent asset to our mission.  Comments from Student Managing Editor The opportunity to serve in the role of Student Managing Editor for IJES has profoundly impacted my growth as a scholar.  I have had the privilege of working and learning alongside fantastic Editors who not only strive for excellence with regard to the journal, but who are also willing to share their expertise and invest in the professional development of students.  It is truly exciting to participate in the editorial process.  As a researcher, reading and editing current manuscripts in the field and preparing them for publication has allowed me a broader perspective of the direction of research in exercise science 2011 YEAR IN REVIEW: REVIEWER LIST International Journal of Exercise Science                                                          http://www.intjexersci.com 2 around the world.  Furthermore, the experience has made me more critical and adept concerning experimental design, statistical analyses, and the overall research process.      The International Journal of Exercise Science is an outstanding outlet for both student scholars as well as professionals in the field.  It is an incredible honor as a student to serve on the Editorial Board of such a high-quality journal.  There are not many available avenues like this for students to attain such invaluable professional development, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity.  As I conclude my doctoral studies and enter the realm of “professional”, I look forward to my continued participation and contribution to the mission and the goals of IJES.  2011 REVIEWERS The Editorial Board would like to recognize the authors and reviewers who contributed to the International Journal of Exercise Science in 2011.
