International Journal of Sport Finance

The International Journal of Sport Finance (IJSF) is published quarterly (February, May, August, November) and serves as a high-level forum for the world-wide dissemination of current research on sport finance topics. The objective is to advance knowledge of the topic area by publishing theoretical and empirical articles from both a globally diversified and multidisciplinary perspective. Another important objective of IJSF is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between academicians and practitioners. A fundamental mission of the journal is to communicate to sport industry executives and managers the practical benefits of research on finance related to current practice.

Sports Economics Review

Sports Economics Review (SER) welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics in the sports industry or manuscripts that use sports as a laboratory to study human behavior. The journal views sports economics as a part of economic science and welcomes sport related contributions from fields such as behavioral economics, development economics, finance, game theory, health economics, industrial organisation, labor economics, political economics, public economics, sports analytics, and urban economics. The journal is open to different research methodologies that are employed in general interest economic journals, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide a substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only precise but also economically relevant. In addition, empirical papers are expected to follow a clear identification strategy. Papers should not be unnecessarily long. Short articles are also welcome.

We acknowledge the importance of replication in science, thus we welcome manuscripts that try to replicate previous findings, as long as these manuscripts demonstrate the need for replication. The Sports Economics Review has the following replication policy. Authors of accepted papers that contain empirical work, simulations, or experimental work must provide to the SER, prior to publication, the data, programs, and other details of the computations sufficient to permit replication. These will be posted alongside the final paper on the SER ScienceDirect website.
