JMNS DATASET FINDER
Find verified external datasets for secondary research.
The JMNS Dataset Finder indexes reusable human research datasets hosted by external repositories. Each record is manually verified for repository identity, data availability and documented reuse conditions. This discovery service is distinct from JMNS Datasets, which publishes datasets submitted directly to JMNS.

SCIENTIFIC SCOPE
Human movement across neural mechanisms, biomechanics and clinical applications.
JMNS is an international journal dedicated to understanding how human movement is generated, controlled, measured, altered and recovered. The journal integrates neuroscience and motor control, biomechanics and movement analysis, and clinical and applied movement sciences within a single scientific framework.
01
Neuroscience & Motor Control
How the nervous and neuromuscular systems generate and control movement.
Neural and neuromuscular mechanisms underlying human movement, including motor control and learning, sensorimotor integration, neuroplasticity, electrophysiology, electromyography, brain–muscle interactions and non-invasive brain stimulation.
02
Biomechanics & Human Movement
How human movement is measured, quantified and explained biomechanically.
Quantitative analysis of human movement and mechanical function, including kinematics, kinetics, gait, balance, posture, muscle and joint mechanics, motion capture, force measurement, wearable sensing and computational movement analysis.
03
Clinical & Applied Movement Sciences
How movement is altered, recovered and applied in clinical care and performance.
Human movement in health, ageing, disease, rehabilitation and performance, including neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, adapted physical activity, exercise and sport, injury, recovery and technology-assisted assessment and intervention.
WHAT WE PUBLISH
Two routes to original research, plus reviews and datasets for secondary analysis.
All submissions are assessed for scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical integrity and relevance to scope.
01
Original Research — Primary Data
Studies addressing a defined scientific question using data collected specifically for the reported research.
Requirements 02Original Research — Secondary Data
Studies addressing a defined scientific question through original analysis of previously collected datasets.
Requirements 03Reviews
Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, and critical, narrative or mini reviews.
Requirements 04JMNS Datasets
Datasets published directly by JMNS.
RequirementsPrimary- and secondary-data studies are evaluated according to the same scientific and editorial standards. Use of datasets found through the JMNS Dataset Finder or published by JMNS is optional and confers no editorial preference.
OUR AMBITION
Building a journal worthy of authors' trust.
JMNS was founded with a clear ambition: to become a trusted international forum for rigorous, transparent and meaningful research in human movement and neuromuscular science.
Our Editorial Board shares a long-term commitment to building the journal through scientific quality, independent editorial judgement, constructive peer review and responsible research practices.
We know that the reputation of a journal cannot be declared — it must be earned. It begins with the trust of authors who choose to submit their work, reviewers who contribute their expertise, and readers who rely on the integrity of what we publish.
Our commitment is to earn that trust, article by article.
Scientific rigor
Independent editorial decisions, robust peer review and high methodological standards.
Transparency
Clear policies, accountable editorial workflows and responsible research practices.
Author trust
Fair, constructive and respectful handling throughout the editorial process.
