Abstract

The online databases have been increasingly become a primary source of information especially for an initial research. The aim of this study was to identify the religion and sport studies RSS available in Turkish either as an abstract or as a full text via online search. The studies in which the sport and religion topics were found as a primary focus were included in the current study. The electronic databases [Web of Science, Google Akademik, ULAKBIM and National Thesis Electronic Database NTED ] were searched in 2015 and 2016. A content analysis was performed regarding the aims, methods, findings and affiliations. While the all articles matching the criteria were open access, only the three out of seven theses identified in NTED were provided with full text open access. Most of the studies were produced from the sports and religion/Islam sciences in similar amount; majority of them were published in sport sciences journals. Despite a growing number of researches based in Turkey or in Turkish, the RSS have emerged as a context being subject to few scientific analyses nationally or internationally in relation to Turkey. This preliminary review of the literature may provide a reference point for the relevant researches and practices.
