Aims & Scope
Die Zeitschrift ist das gemeinsame wissenschaftliche Publikationsorgan der Deutschen Vereinigung für Sportwissenschaft (dvs), des Deutschen Olympischen Sportbundes (DOSB) und des Bundesinstitutes für Sportwissenschaft (BISp) und führt zentrale Anliegen der von 1971 bis 2016 als Sportwissenschaft publizierten Zeitschrift fort. Das German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research steht für die in Deutschland gewachsene Form von Sportwissenschaft, für die wesentlich ist, dass sich geisteswissenschaftliche, naturwissenschaftliche, sozialwissenschaftliche und verhaltenswissenschaftliche Fächer zugunsten einer angemessen facettenreichen Beschreibung und theoretischen Durchdringung des Phänomens Sport und Bewegung zusammenfügen. Die Zeitschrift publiziert im double-blind Peer-Review Verfahren wissenschaftliche Originalbeiträge (Hauptbeiträge, Kurzbeiträge, Literaturübersichten) sowie Essays, Kommentare und Diskussionsbeiträge mit Bezug zu sportwissenschaftlich relevanten Themen. Akzeptiert werden sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch verfasste Beiträge. Das German Journal of Exercise and Sport Research sieht sich explizit dem wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt im internationalen Maßstab verpflichtet. Gemeinsam mit exzellenten Autorinnen und Autoren aus dem deutschsprachigen und internationalen Raum soll die Zeitschrift zu einer international führenden interdisziplinären Fachzeitschrift für Sport und Bewegung weiterentwickelt werden. Wir laden Sie ein, als Autorin oder Autor gemeinsam mit uns an diesem herausfordernden Ziel zu arbeiten.This journal is the joint scientific publication of the Deutsche Vereinigung für Sportwissenschaft (German Association of Sports Science), Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (German Olympic Sports Confederation) and Bundesinstitut für Sportwissenschaft (German Federal Institute of Sports Science).
