Peer Review Process

Sport Review Journal operates a Blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous Publication of research articles by Sport Review Journal is dependent primarily on their scientific validity and coherence as judged by our external expert editors and/or peer reviewers, who will also assess whether the writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a useful contribution to the field.
Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. Reviewers will also be asked to indicate how interesting and significant the research is. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.


Where an author is prevented from being the copyright holder, minor variations may be required. In such cases the copyright line and license statement in individual articles will be adjusted, for example to state ‘© 2017 Sport Review Journal copyright’. Authors requiring a variation of this type should inform  during or immediately after submission of their article. Changes to the copyright line cannot be made after publication of an article.
