Sport History Review (SHR) is a forum for peer-reviewed scholarly work in the broad field of sport history. Published since 1970, with an editorial review board that boasts members from around the world, SHR is committed to addressing topics of international interest. Sport historians who teach or conduct research in an academic setting or others with special interests in sport history will appreciate SHR’s articles whose methods of analysis or application and appeal is universally and fundamentally relevant to the advancement of the history of sport. SHR is published semiannually (May, November).
Mission
Sport History Review is the continuation of the Canadian Journal of the History of Sport: Revue Canadienne De L’Histoire des Sports, published from 1970 to 1995. Sport History Review is devoted to promoting the study of all facets of the broad field of the history of sport. The peer-reviewed journal is published for sport history specialists who engage in research and/or teaching within an academic context as well as for those with special interest in sport history.
Although SHR is published in North America, the editor and editorial board are committed to addressing topics and issues of international interest. Therefore, articles whose method of analysis or application and appeal is more universally or fundamentally relevant to an international readership are of particular interest to SHR.
Sport History Review encourages the submission of scholarly articles, methodological and research notes, and commentaries. Because young scholars are critically important to the development of any discipline, SHR encourages graduate students and young professionals to submit their work for publication. Book review suggestions may be made to the Book Review Editor, who is solely responsible for assigning and editing book reviews.

Authorship Guidelines
The Journals Division at Human Kinetics adheres to the criteria for authorship as outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors*:
Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to:
a. Conception and design, or analysis and interpretation of data; and
b. Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and
c. Final approval of the version to be published.
Conditions a, b, and c must all be met. Individuals who do not meet the above criteria may be listed in the acknowledgments section of the manuscript. *Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. (1991). New England Journal of Medicine, 324, 424–428.

Human Kinetics is pleased to allow our authors the option of having their articles published Open Access.

Manuscript Guidelines
Sport History Review (SHR) encourages the submission of scholarly articles, methodological and research notes, and commentaries.
Style and Format
Manuscripts should be 6,000-9,000 words including endnotes and must be double-spaced (including endnotes and block quotations) with one inch margins. All pages should be numbered consecutively.
Articles may be submitted in English or French. Prior to submission, all manuscripts should be carefully checked for grammar and syntax by a person fluent in academic English or French. Manuscripts which do not meet the required standard will be returned.
Authors should submit a cover sheet with the manuscript, including the title, name of author(s), institutional affiliation(s), running head, and full mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address of all authors, as well an indication of who is to receive the galley proofs.
The first page of the manuscript should contain only the title of the article as manuscripts are reviewed anonymously. Subsequent pages should include, in the following order, the main body of text, endnotes, acknowledgments, figures with figure captions, and tables.
SHR shall use endnotes as its form of referencing. Authors must prepare endnotes by following the guidelines detailed in The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed. Copies of the manual are available in most university libraries. Please keep endnotes as concise as possible. Before submitting, ensure that the endnotes are accurate and complete.
Please carefully consult the following style guide ahead of submission:
Authors are requested to use the terms Common Era, or CE (instead of AD), and Before Common Era, or BCE (instead of BC), when making reference to dates.
Figures and Tables
Each figure and table must be numbered, and each should be called out in the text in consecutive numerical order. A figure should have a caption that is brief and self-explanatory. Captions must be listed separately, on a page by themselves; however, each figure must be clearly identified, preferably as part of its filename. The artwork should be professional in appearance and have clean, crisp lines. Hand drawing and hand lettering are unacceptable. Figures should not use color in any way. Photographic images can be submitted if they are saved in JPEG or TIFF format at a resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi). Format tables using the table function of your word processing program rather than aligning columns in text with tabs and spaces or using text boxes. Include a brief title for each table. All figures and tables must be original, or the permission to reuse copyrighted materials must have been obtained prior to acceptance.
Research Notes and Commentaries
SHR invites Research Notes and Commentaries of up to 3,000 words for possible publication. Notes and Commentaries should address current methodological issues relevant for sport historians.

Book review suggestions should be made to the Book Review Editor, who is solely responsible for assigning and editing book reviews. Book publishers are asked to send two copies of any books submitted for review. Please contact and/or send books to Colleen English, Department of Kinesiology, Penn State Berks. Phone: 570-772-3516. E-mail: cue113@psu.edu
