Author Biographies

The Journal of Kinesiology and Wellness (JKW) requires an author biography for every author listed on a manuscript. Biographies must be provided before a submission can continue through processing, so preparing them in advance helps avoid delays.

Formatting Options​

Choose either of the two formats below. You may use whichever you prefer, but use the same format consistently for all authors on the manuscript.

Format 1 — Concise​

Name, credentials, and institution, followed by title.

Steven Ross Murray, DA, MS, University of California, Berkeley Professor of Teaching and Director, Physical Education Program, Division of Biological Sciences

Format 2 — Narrative​

Name and institution, followed by a brief prose bio.

Duane Knudson, Texas State University

Duane V. Knudson, Ph.D., is a Regents' Professor and University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Health & Human Performance at Texas State University. His research addresses the biomechanics of sport and exercise, qualitative movement diagnosis, and research quality in kinesiology.

Submitting Your Biographies​

  • Provide a biography for each author listed on the manuscript.
  • Use a single, consistent format across all authors.
  • Include biographies with your submission materials to keep your manuscript moving through processing.
