About this journal

Scope of Research and Topics
The JGSM will publish peer-reviewed conceptual and empirical papers with a theoretical foundation, and cases of original works. Typically, theory-driven empirical studies are considered by JGSM, but conceptual and theoretical papers are also considered when they have clear contributions to advancing out theoretical/conceptual understanding of sport management issues; for example, building new theories and proposing propositions, but a simple review of literature is not normally considered. The JGSM covers a wide range of topics including the following topical areas:

Contributors and Readership
Contributors of articles typically come from academic backgrounds. However, the articles are written in an accessible style to benefit both scholars and practitioners; also, manuscripts are to be received and accepted from every corner of the world to reach the global readership.

Peer Review Policy
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double-anonymized and submission is via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Taylor & Francis/Routledge are committed to the widest possible dissemination of its journals to non-profit institutions in developing countries. Our STAR initiative offers individual researchers in Africa, South Asia and many parts of South East Asia the opportunity to gain one month’s free online access to 1,300 Taylor & Francis journals.
