Since its inception, idrottsforum.org has been proudly presenting every new issue of almost all scholarly journals within the field of sport studies, widely defined. However, after carefully considering the whole situation – with increasing number of journals and number of issues per journal – we have decided to let go of the original ambition; it has become too time-consuming. Henceforth we will publish alerts about new journal issues on our social media accounts (Facebook, InDesign, Bluesky and X), and also special alerts when particularly interesting articles in scholarly journals turn up, giving priority to open access publications. This page will list all journals within the extended sport studies field and we will endeavor to update it with any new titles being launched.
