IJHS Special Issues

Beginning with the 2012 Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport is published with papers from the ISHPES Congresses. All presenters have the possibility — and are encouraged — to submit their paper which will then undergo a double-blind review process. Presently the IJHS is the only sport history journal with an impact factor.
