title: The 75th anniversary of Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport. An analysis of status and contributions.
abstract: In celebration of the 75th anniversary of The Research Quarterly/Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (RQ/ RQES) an analysis was conducted comparing RQ/RQES to numerous other journals in the field with regard to impact factors and citation rates. A series of analyses was conducted from the first publication of RQ/RQES in 1930 through this 75th edition to identify total citations by decade, the top 10 cited papers, top cited papers by decade, the top three papers in 5-year intervals from the 50th anniversary issue in 1980 through 2001, and the outstanding research writing award papers since this award began 23 years ago.
