The American College of Sports Medicine ( https://www.acsm.org/ ) is an organization that touts its diversity, with members working in “ research, education and practice, working to ensure the best outcomes for every population. ” ACSM claims to be “ the world’s largest and most influential organization in sports medicine, exerci se science and the promotion of physical activity and its cobenefits. ” Review of the ACSM website found that the wording is clear, professional, and compelling, without confusing jargon or unnecessary multi -syllable words. The guide for authors for the ACS M’s publication ( Exercise and Sports Science Reviews ) says that most articles are by invitation only; uninvited submissions should focus on new ideas about contemporary issues and must be supported by original research published by the author(s). Specific guidelines are provided about language use (such as use abbreviations sparingly; use present tense; and follow the Merriam -Webster Dictionary’s guidance). Images on the website are of healthy, active, primarily young people. It was not easy to determine if newcomers are treated differently than seasoned members.
