The Physical Education Preprint & Review Club is coordinated by researchers and graduate students in
Physical Education at the State University of Maringá (Brazil) and is
connected to initiatives promoted by the
Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)
to encourage open science practices and innovation in scholarly communication. The initiative aligns with the
journal’s editorial commitment to transparency, collaboration, and the recognition of diverse forms of
scholarly contribution.
The Physical Education Preprint & Review Club is a collaborative training space where students and
early-career researchers discuss preprints in Physical Education and Sport Sciences and learn how to produce
constructive peer reviews. Reviews developed within the club are part of a formative and open-science learning
environment and are independent from the formal peer-review process of the Journal of Physical Education
(Maringá), which follows its own editorial procedures.
