EDITORIAL

The first issue of the journal Annales Kinesiologiae, year 6, proves that the orienta-
tion of the journal towards studying and widening of the field of kinesiology with the 
aim to achieve a better life quality has been the right decision and that the challenges 
of modern society even more intensively encourage us to address this topical issue. The 
problems addressed by the scientific articles herewith are interesting indicators of the 
professional growth of all the professionals involved in the research of exercise and 
training, preventive or developmental incentives of kinesiology programs and the con-
tents of organized and unorganized physical / sports training. A wider perspective of the 
current problems in modern kinesiology is brought to the reader through the reviews of 
scientific literature and the reports from international conferences.

In order to make the journal even more easily accessible to the interested professio-
nals and the widest range of readers, while facilitating the review process, the Editorial 
Board decided to apply an open-source software for the management of peer-reviewed 
academic journals »Open Journal Systems« (OJS). OJS not only facilitates the work 
of all the members of the Editorial Board, improves their communication with authors 
on the one hand, and the reviewers and external collaborators on the other, but it also 
significantly improves the transparency of the work. By adopting the OJS editorial 
platform we are also upgrading the »usefulness« of the published articles by adding 
URL addresses with links to the Internet accessible articles, chapters or monographs 
from the lists of references. Finally, the OJS software is compatible with the OpenAIRE 
instructions and allows direct export of metadata on articles which is required for the 
envisaged integration of the journal in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), 
which is in line with the »National Strategy of Open Access to Scientific Publications 
and Research Data in Slovenia 2015 – 2020« by the Ministry of Education, Science and 
Sport. We also believe that all these efforts will be largely compensated by an overall 
increase in recognisability both on the national as well as international level. In 2015, 
the Editorial Board (both the Select Board and the Wider Board) and the Board of Re-
viewers were expanded to 58 members, which will certainly, in its own way, contribute 
to the journal's wider availability.

UVODNIK

Tudi vsebina prve številke 6. letnika Annales Kinesiologiae dokazuje, da je bila 
usmeritev revije v proučevanje in poglabljanje področja kineziologije s ciljem dose-
ganja boljše kakovosti življenja prava odločitev in jo izzivi sodobne družbe še bolj in-
tenzivno vzpodbujajo k obravnavi perečih tem. Problemi, ki jih obravnavajo pričujoči 
znanstveni članki, so zanimivi spremljevalci strokovne rasti vseh vključenih v obrav-
navo vadbe in treninga, preventivnih oz. razvojnih spodbud kinezioloških programov 
ter vsebin organizirane in neorganizirane gibalne/športne vadbe. Z recenzijo strokovne 
literature in s poročili z mednarodnih konferenc pa lahko bralec dobi širši pogled na 
aktualne probleme sodobne kineziološke znanosti. 

Da bi zainteresirani strokovni javnosti in najširšemu krogu uporabnikov revije An-
nales Kinesiologiae omogočili še lažjo dosegljivost, hkrati pa olajšali upravljanje z re-
cenzentskimi postopki, smo se v uredniškem odboru odločili, da pristopimo k uporabi 
odprtokodne programske opreme za izdajanje revij »Open Journal Systems« (OJS). 
OJS ne le da olajša delo vseh članov uredniškega odbora, izboljšuje njihovo komunika-
cijo z avtorji na eni strani ter recenzenti in drugimi zunanjimi sodelavci na drugi, am-
pak tudi bistveno izboljša preglednost dela. S prehodom na uredniško platformo OJS 
nadgrajujemo tudi »uporabnost« objavljenih člankov z dodajanjem URL-naslovov do 
spletno dostopnih člankov, poglavij ali monografij s seznamov referenc. Nenazadnje pa 
je programska oprema OJS kompatibilna z navodili OpenAIRE in omogoča neposreden 
izvoz metapodatkov o člankih za potrebe predvidenega vključevanja revije v Directory 
of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), kar je v skladu z »Nacionalno strategijo odprtega do-
stopa do znanstvenih objav in raziskovalnih podatkov v Sloveniji 2015–2020« MIZŠ. 
Prepričani pa smo tudi, da bodo napori v veliki meri poplačani s splošnim povečanjem 
prepoznavnosti tako v nacionalnem kot mednarodnem merilu. V letu 2015 smo z 58 
člani dopolnili (ožji in širši) uredniški in recenzentski odbor revije, kar bo gotovo na 
svojstven način prispevalo tudi k njeni širši dostopnosti.
