The Golden Rule (Journals)
On February 2, 1881 in Portland, Maine, Francis E. Clark and a group of young people at the Williston Congregational Church founded the first group devoted to youth ministry. It was known as the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. The movement spread rapidly until by 1908 there were 3.5 million members in over 70,000 societies across the globe. In 1887, The Golden Rule was adopted as the organization's first official publication. From 1891, Amos Wells became the editor. In October of 1897 its name was changed to Christian Endeavor World. The journals republished here represent some of the earliest, most complete resources for people researching this important movement.

The Good Way was one of their earliest publications until it merged with The Church Witness to become the Church Herald, and later the Church Herald and Holiness Banner. It provides a rare window into the Holiness Movement in the late 19th century. It was published from 1880-1895

This collection archives volumes of the Journal of Mineral Law & Policy and the Journal of Natural Resources & Environmental Law. For current content published on this topic, please see Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture, & Natural Resources Law.The Journal of Mineral Law & Policy (JMLP) was approved by an unanimous vote of the faculty of the University of Kentucky College of Law in January 1984. JMLP was created in recognition of the important role the mining and mineral industry has in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the long-standing need of legal practitioners specializing in mineral law for a periodical designed specifically to address legal issues involving mining and minerals. The establishment of JMLP was also a recognition of the need to provide law students with an opportunity to become familiar with and be trained in the many various aspects of mineral law. JMLP was a multi-disciplinary periodical published biannually that presented articles, surveys, notes, and comments pertaining to the mining and mineral industries.
On July 1, 1992, JMLP became the Journal of Natural Resources & Environmental Law (JNREL). The name change reflected a desire to expand the journal's base of authors, contributors, and subscribers. It was intended to expand the Journal's scope of coverage to include all natural resources and environmental issues. During the spring of 2009, JNREL became the Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture, & Natural Resources Law (KJEANRL) to reflect the journal's dedication to addressing legal issues in the fields of equine and agricultural law while also continuing to produce scholarship on natural resources law.

Journal of Student Financial Aid
The Journal of Student Financial Aid (JSFA) is a scholarly, peer-reviewed outlet featuring works of significance in all areas pertaining to the finance of higher education, especially student financial aid. Our mission is to bring scholarly work to bear on the practice and theory of providing financial assistance to students pursuing postsecondary education.

We encourage submissions from diverse methodological and conceptual perspectives with implications for the practice of financial aid administration. Although the focus of the Journal has historically been on financial aid in the United States, we welcome the submission of comparative and international work.
History of the Journal
Thanks to the strong leadership of Dr. Robert Huff in the early years of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) in the late 1960s, the publication of the NASFAA Journal of Student Financial Aid was approved. His convincing rationale was one based on what most, well-respected organizations would agree to be essential to any group hoping to be seen as "professional" (i.e., the need for good, timely research as the basis for forming and refining effective policies). The first issue of the Journal was published in 1971.
In 2018, NASFAA decided that the mission of the Journal had become distinct from its own mission and goals and looked to move the Journal to a more academic setting. The Center for Economic Education at the University of Louisville became the official home of the Journal in 2019.

The University of Louisville Journal of Respiratory Infections
The University of Louisville Journal of Respiratory Infections (JRI) is a peer-reviewed, open access medical journal focusing on the wide range of medical disciplines related to infections of the respiratory tract.
The journal is owned by the University of Louisville (UofL) and operated by the UofL Division of Infectious Diseases and the UofL Libraries. UofL provides complete editorial freedom to the Editorial Board of the JRI and provides no specific funding for the JRI.
This journal does not charge article processing/publishing charges (APCs) or submission charges. We strongly believe that investigators submitting significant research should not be required to pay for article processing fees.
The JRI uses bepress for online manuscript submission and publishes online articles continuously throughout the year. Accepted journal articles are assigned DOIs, deposited in Global LOCKSS for permanent archiving, and compiled into yearly volumes.
Original research, case reports, review articles, methodologies, and study protocols are accepted following a single-blind peer review by at least two external reviewers and approval by the Editors-in-Chief. Other article types are reviewed by the Editors-in-Chief alone. External reviewers include members of the editorial board, section editors, and invited reviewers.
Please see the Aims and Scope for a complete description of the journal and Guidelines for Authors for a list of the types of articles that may be submitted.

Educational Practices in Kinesiology (International Community of Scholars in Kinesiology)
Educational Practices in Kinesiology (EPIK) is a peer-reviewed, open access repository designed for instructors in higher education to disseminate and share teaching and learning resources in the subdisciplines of kinesiology. Educators make up a significant portion of the kinesiology professional community and this journal allows instructors to share the unique and engaging classroom and laboratory learning experiences they create for their undergraduate and graduate students.
Frustrated by a lack of available teaching resources, two independent groups of women working in different parts of the United States were creating parallel teaching repositories in kinesiology. We serendipitously found each other at a professional meeting and quickly realized we had the same ideas for providing high quality kinesiology and exercise science pedagogical content for ourselves and peers. Our two groups combined efforts to create an “EPIK” teaching repository, the first of its kind in exercise science.
Aim
The aim of EPIK is to promote the development and sharing of high-quality teaching and learning resources for best practices in the subdisciplines of kinesiology.
Scope
Submissions may include but are not limited to: virtual, face-to-face, and hybrid classroom and laboratory resources. This pedagogical journal is intended for faculty teaching in sub-disciplines of kinesiology: exercise physiology, biomechanics, sport and exercise psychology, sport sociology, sport philosophy, sport history, motor behavior, and sports nutrition. Professionals in related fields are also encouraged to submit to EPIK.

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings (International Community of Scholars in Kinesiology)
The International Journal of Exercise Science publishes proceedings for a number of regional, national, and international conferences and meetings.
To simplify referencing as well as site navigation, we have assigned each conference or related organization its own “volume," and thus each year’s proceedings for that conference is an “issue." For example, The Texas Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine is Volume 2, and then each of its conferences has its own issue number.
If you are affiliated with an organization that holds research conferences within Exercise Science or a related field, and you are interested in having the International Journal of Exercise Science publish your proceedings, then please contact us at this email address: editor@intjexersci.com.
Please note that all publications on the International Journal of Exercise Science Conference Proceedings site are abstracts, not full manuscripts. To see if a full research manuscript has been published from one of the abstracts on this site, we suggest that you contact the lead or corresponding author.
