Publication frequency

The International Journal of Sports Humanities is published twice a year in June and December between the 10th and the 18th. There is a Spring issue (January – June) and an Autumn issue (July – December).

The International Journal of Sports Humanities (IJSHU) is an international  multilingual scholarly peer-review Journal, published by the General Pedagogy Laboratory of the University of Rome Foro Italico in collaboration with the Faculty of Sports of Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia, its Olympic Studies Center and the Aretè Research Group, the University Babes-Bolyai of Cluj-Napoca and its Faculty of Geography, the Sports University of Tirana (UST) along with Albanian Association of Sports Sciences. It is promoted by the Foro Italico Foundation. It wishes to encourage Italian as well as world-wide diffusion of scholarly contributions to the research in Human Sciences  applied to sports and physical activity. The journal accepts contributions not only from scholars studying the relationship between sport and humanities, but also from professionals with theoretical and empirical interests relating to an emancipative and critical point of view on sport in contemporary culture and society.
