The growth of the digital economy has made it possible for knowledge workers to perform work-related tasks remotely. This has been amply demonstrated during the 2020–2021 COVID-19 pandemic. The special issue will cover a broad range of topics and perspectives on digital nomadism and leisure, including evidence-based research papers, systematic reviews, and conceptual scholarly pieces. All submissions will be peer-reviewed.

We welcome submissions from authors in a variety of career stages and roles, who are able to collaboratively reflect on a missing or seldom discussed aspect of women's experience in sport and physical activity. We especially encourage submissions from BIPoC authors, those working in a transnational context, and those working in queer and non-binary framings of womanhood. More specifically, we encourage submissions that feature critical, cross-generational conversations.

This special issue of IHJS will focus on examining new contexts and telling unheard stories related to competitive gymnastics. Moving beyond Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci, it will emphasise countries, athletes, codes, coaches and officials that have not featured heavily in the literature previously. It aims to showcase the variety of forms that competitive gymnastics has taken, and to highlight the many actors who have contributed to its development across a range of contexts. 

This special issue is about formulating ways to apply observational methods to further understanding, changing and/or monitoring coach behaviour and advancing pedagogical applications for coaches. Consequently, we think this is an opportune time to bring researchers’ working in coaching behaviour together through welcoming the submission of methodological, theoretical and empirical papers which offer an original contribution to what we can say we know in this area.

Awareness of Sport Management accreditation has increased during the past decade and become incorporated into research papers ranging from the conceptual to the methodological. Pedagogical research often cites accreditation principles as a framework against which innovation and change are documented. Program accreditation provides outside observers with the knowledge that a given academic program of study meets a threshold of quality and overall excellence.

Sport management scholars have mainly focused on environmental aspects of sustainability. However, the conceptualization of sustainability should be enriched by including economic, environmental, social, individual, and ethical aspects to provide meaningful insight into the sport industry in this unprecedented era. In line with this notion, this special issue aims to seek theoretical and practical investigation of sustainability in the field of sport management.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its intersectional impacts, as well as the recent intensification of activism and protest related to racialized and gendered injustices, the moment is ripe to revisit and reflect on the concept of intersectionality, including within the field of sociology of sport. We ask: How has intersectional theorizing and analysis figured within sociology of sport to date? We are encouraging contributors to view this as a unique opportunity to create a collection that is accessible and relevant to practitioners in sport.

Esports, also known as organized competitive gaming, has evolved from an underground culture into a mainstream industry worth billions of dollars today. The goal of this Research Topic is to collect manuscripts that investigate broader facets of esports to advance our current knowledge in both theory and practice of esports. Manuscripts of all methodological approaches including conceptual papers will be considered for publication. Inter-disciplinary research is encouraged.

The objective of this IJSMS special issue is to bring together scholarship that seeks to advance our collective knowledge on diversity and inclusion in sport marketing. We acknowledge that diversity may include a myriad of characteristics that distinguish individuals and groups of people. However, this special edition focuses on diversity as it pertains to the following equity seeking groups: Race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability.

This special issue seeks critical examinations of research, policy, and practice that highlight, describe, and challenge racism, racist practices, and racial hierarchies in the SfD field, and in doing so, move closer to improving experiences and outcomes for racial groups facing intersecting oppressions. Race and racism are conceptualized as socially constructed systems of oppression grounded in political and economic domination on the basis of phenotypical and cultural identities and backgrounds.
