About the Journal
International Sports Studies (ISS) is one of the world’s oldest and most established scholarly sports journals. With its origins dating back to the 1960s, the journal has been a significant force in promoting international and comparative studies of sport worldwide. Working in partnership with the International Society for Comparative Physical Education and Sport, ISS continues to pioneer research with an international focus.
ISS begins its full open access format effective with the 2024 volume, extending its reach and influence in every corner of the world without any access barriers. This is a proactive move of the International Society for Comparative Physical Education and Sport towards reducing the environmental impact caused by the production and distribution of printed journal copies and will allow the journal to invest in further innovation, digital development, and sustainability measures. Previous subscription-based issues may still be accessed through Logos Verlag Berlin.
ISS is indexed in Scopus and EBSCO and has been accepted for indexing in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, a new edition of Web of Science™. Content in this index is under consideration by Clarivate Analytics to be accepted in the Science Citation Index Expanded®, the Social Sciences Citation Index®, and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index®.
