Exercise, Sport, and Movement Student APC Assistance Fund


The ESM editors recognize that the cost of publishing open access (the article processing charge, or APC) is often a burden for authors. To help address this burden, the ESM editors are proud to announce the launch of the ESM Student APC Assistance Fund on July 1, 2025.
  • Provides APC assistance for student-led papers accepted in ESM 
  • Provides $1000 toward APC for qualifying papers 
  • Can be used in addition to 20% APC discount for ACSM members who are corresponding authors on ESM accepted papers 
  • To qualify, a student must be the first author on the paper 
  • Student status is determined based on ACSM student membership criteria (students do not have to be ACSM members to be eligible) 
  • Only available on the following article types: Original Investigation, Registered Report (stage 1), Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, and Graphical Review 
  • Not available on papers with corresponding authors from low- and middle-income countries (based on Research4Life eligibility criteria) who automatically receive full (100%) and partial (50%) APC waivers, respectively 
  • Only the first 10 qualifying accepted papers each year apply. No additional application is necessary.
