Journal of Sport Sciences Research

The aim of the “Journal of Sports Sciences Researches (JSSR)” is to publish original research articles and reviews that involve an integrative and comprehensive coverage of the latest developments in sports sciences. The incessant change and the rapid pace of developments characterizing the contemporary age require that researchers adopt a more holistic and inclusionary perspective towards sports sciences as a discipline. This is all the more significant because a number of various academic disciplines and sectors contribute to the making of the sports industry and science. In this context, JSSR aims to provide a quality research outlet for scientific papers.

JSSR is an international biannual journal first published in 2016. All submissions are subject to double-blind peer review process. JSSR publishes papers in Turkish and English languages. Original research and review articles as well as book reviews in the following areas are highly welcome: Physical Education and Sports Teaching, Sports Management, Recreation, Coaching-Movement and Training Sciences, Psycho-social Areas in Sports and Sports-Health Sciences among others.

A part of TUBITAK’s DERGIPARK initiative, JSSR is indexed by the following databases: EBSCO SPORTDiscuss Fulltext, TrDİZİN, Türkiye Atıf Dizini, Bielfield Academic Search Engine, Rootingindexing, Science Library Index, Scientific World Index, Asos indeks, Academic Keys, Journal Factor, Türk Eğitim İndeksi, ResearchBib, Eurasian Scientific Journal Index and Google Scholar.
