Aims and scope

Representing the Swedish Association for Behavioural and Social Research in Sport, the journal “Swedish Journal of Sport Research” publishes original articles on educational, historical, pedagogical, philosophical, psychological and sociological aspects of sport.

Instructions for writers

The Swedish Association for Behavioural and Social Science Research in Sports Science (SVEBI) invites researchers and doctoral candidates to contribute with original articles in SVEBI’s Yearbook.

All manuscripts are to be original contributions and may not be simultaneously sent to other scientific journals. The copyright for accepted articles passes over to SVEBI.

Consideration of submissions

Manuscripts are to be sent to e Den här e-postadressen är skyddad från spamrobotar. Du måste tillåta Javascript för att visa e-postadressen . Confirmation of receipt is sent.

Individual manuscripts are de-identified and assessed by two mutually independent reviewers (peer review) who give their opinions. It is on the basis of these assessments that the Editorial Committee then makes its decision.

Length and typeface

The manuscript may not exceed 6000 words (excluding the abstract and references) which add up to approximately 18 pages in the journal. Articles exceeding 6000 words will not be assessed.

The manuscript is to be written in Times New Roman 14 with 1.5 line spacing.

Language

All articles are to be written in Swedish or English. SVEBI aims, in the long term, to be entirely English-speaking. We wish, therefore, to encourage all writers of articles to write in English whenever possible. If the Editorial Committee so requests, a language revision is to be done before the article is sent for peer review. All articles, both those that are written in Swedish and those written in English, shall have an abstract in English attached.

Headings

Three types of headings, over and above the article heading, are used in the Yearbook:

Subheading I (1)

Subheading II (2)

Subheading III (3)

Indicate which heading level is to be applied by writing the heading level number (1, 2 or 3) in brackets immediately after the heading. These numbers will not appear in the finished text.

Quotations

Short quotations within the text are to be indicated by quotation marks. Do not use italics – that is, unless they are used in the original text. NB! Do not use straight quotation marks, but only typographical ones (“”).

Long quotations, as well as quotations written in languages differing from that of the main text, are to be formatted with indentations and a smaller type size. The simplest way of writing this type of quotation is to use smaller type size. If, in addition, you wish to make indentations from the margin or use narrower line spacing that is fine. Quotation marks are not used for this type of quotation.

Emphasis (Accentuation)

Emphasis shall be shown by using italics.

Hyphenation

Do not hyphenate at the end of lines. Any division of words will be removed in order to avoid hyphens in the middle of lines in the journal.

Em dashes

Note that em dashes (long hyphens) are always to be used when one wishes to illustrate a pause. When dashes are used between numbers etc, there should be no space before or after the dash, for example: 2003–2007.

Source references in the text

References to sources are to be written in the text. The reference must state the surname of the author, the year and (in the case of quotations) the page reference. This is all in order to facilitate for the reader to quickly find the reference in question.

A comma is used between the surname and the year and between the year and any page reference given.

Page references are written with p. or s. respectively, or with pp. or s, respectively. For example: Weinberg & Gould, 2010, p 203.

A semicolon is used between different references. For example: Weinberg & Gould, 2010; Chelladurai, 2007.

Book titles that are mentioned in the ordinary text are to be written in italics and initial letters are to be capitalized in English titles. For example: Foundations of Sport & Exercise Psychology.

Article heading

The heading of the article must not be too long. A short title, possibly with a subtitle, is the best.

Abstract

An abstract shall always be written in English and consist of a maximum of 1000 characters, including blank spaces, and concluded with a maximum of 5 keywords.

Images/Charts/Tables

Any images/charts/tables are to be inserted in the right place in the document. Note that charts that are drawn up in A4 format will be scaled down!

References are to be written according to the APA (The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). For example:
