Scientific Journal of Sport Management Knowledge (JSMK) is a scientific and research-oriented journal dedicated to examining, analyzing, and advancing knowledge in the field of sport management. The journal provides a scholarly platform for the dissemination and exchange of scientific knowledge, research findings, and professional perspectives in sport management.
Given the growing significance and multidimensional nature of sport management, JSMK aims to publish original research findings that contribute to the development of scientific knowledge, address relevant research and practical challenges, and strengthen scholarly communication among researchers and professionals in the field.
A fundamental criterion for the consideration and publication of manuscripts is their originality, scientific significance, comprehensiveness, and practical relevance. Submitted manuscripts should demonstrate a clear contribution to the existing body of knowledge and, where appropriate, provide meaningful implications for addressing current challenges in sport management.
JSMK considers original theoretical and empirical research articles, research notes, and applied research studies addressing relevant scientific and practical issues in sport management. Empirical studies are expected to be supported by appropriate theoretical foundations and rigorous analysis and interpretation, while theoretical studies should demonstrate conceptual clarity and, where relevant, meaningful practical implications.
Manuscripts should clearly articulate the background and significance of the research problem, its position within the existing body of knowledge, the rationale for addressing the issue, and the contribution of the study. In particular, the Introduction and Conclusion sections should provide a clear and coherent account of the research context, significance, scholarly contribution, and implications of the findings.
