About JIS

Human Kinetics is pleased to announce the June 2008 launch of the Journal of Intercollegiate Sport (JIS). The mission of JIS is to stimulate and disseminate both theoretical and practical research on sport in higher education. This academic journal is supported by start-up funding from the NCAA in an effort to foster cross-disciplinary research on intercollegiate sport and promote the integration of athletics with the educational missions of colleges and universities.

Aim and Scope. Articles submitted for publication in JIS will be reviewed by the editorial board on the basis of standard academic and research criteria. Contributions may be specifically about sport in college and university settings or about broader biological, medical, psychological, social, or philosophical factors that impact sport in higher education. Articles from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional fields are accepted. Submissions that are cross-disciplinary in nature and have clear practical applications are encouraged. All articles should be written for an educated, lay readership and accordingly, should be nontechnical in nature.

Disciplinary Appeal. JIS supports research that is both interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary in nature. It welcomes submissions originating from a wide array of disciplines, as well as submissions addressing problems that transcend traditional academic boundaries.
