Journal of the Month - Journal of Sport Management

Our journal of the month for March is the Journal of Sport Management (JSM). The journal has been in existence since 1987 and has an impact factor of 0.684.

JSM published its 30th volume in 2016 and to celebrate, editor-in-chief David Shilbury compiled a list of some of the most important research published by the journal over the years. Dr. Shilbury selected these articles to capture the most cited papers over a range of years, while also capturing the range of papers published by the journal. He sought to include papers on economic impact, management, marketing and sport development.

For a limited time, we’ve made this research available to you as open access content, so that you may discover the range of research presented over the life of JSM.

For more info check out JSM news.

You may have read our blog Weather and jet lag implications for footballers which was taken from recent research from the JSM journal.
