Call for Papers
The Journal of Sports Media publishes twice a year, in March and September, and has an open call for papers.
Papers should relate to sports media in terms of specific media (print, broadcast, Internet, advertising, etc.) or a specific area of interest related to sports media (history, law, ethics, effects, etc.). Methodologies can be either qualitative or quantitative. Research should add to the understanding of sports media in terms of their practice, value and effect on the culture as a whole. The journal is focused on and particularly interested in practical research that is useful to industry practitioners, such as news and sports executives, sports content providers, sports media owners and the like. If you have a question as to whether the manuscript is appropriate for JSM, you can e-mail a short abstract to bschultz@olemiss.edu.
When preparing manuscripts for publication in the journal, authors should follow the guidelines of the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. The first page of the submission should include the title of the paper and the name and affiliation of each author, as well as full contact information for the primary author. The authors name(s) should not appear on the manuscript proper. The second page should include a 75-word abstract. Articles should not exceed 30 manuscript pages, including tables and charts. Manuscripts must not be submitted to another journal at the same time they are under review by JSM.
Submission and review by electronic mail is now the accepted standard of the journal. Send manuscripts to Dr. Brad Schultz at bschultz@olemiss.edu. Include the manuscript and title/abstract as separate Word files. Authors will be notified via electronic mai regarding acceptance and revision. Comments from reviewers concerning manuscripts are made available to authors.
