In Turkey, where academic journal publishing has been booming recently, the lack of scholarly journal publishing on sports history was a significant deficiency. To overcome this deficiency, bring together sports history researchers in Turkey, preserve Turkey's sports history for future generations, and elevate the value of sports through cultural and historical heritage, we have set ourselves the task of publishing Sports History Studies (STAD).
STAD encourages research into the historical, social, economic, and cultural aspects of sports. STAD is a peer-reviewed academic journal that accepts research articles, review articles, book reviews, scientific meeting notes, letters to the editor, and discussion articles.
STAD also accepts historically informed manuscripts from disciplines such as anthropology, cultural studies, media studies, and sociology. Manuscripts submitted to STAD may include historical case studies, biographical analyses, and broader analyses of the sport's social and cultural significance. STAD welcomes interdisciplinary work and methodological discussions on the study of sports history.
Our journal accepts articles continuously, and there is no time limit for article submission.
