Navigating the Complexities of Publishing Scientific Papers in Sports Science

The journal plays a crucial role in ensuring the correctness of evidence presented in scientific papers. The process of publishing a scientific paper involves adhering to a specific format including abstract, introduction, method, results, discussion, limitation section, and conclusion. Papers are submitted to the editor who then assigns it to an associate editor for further review.
