JIS Fellow

To reward our most important college sport scholars and authors within Journal of Intercollegiate Sport, we are offering a Journal of Intercollegiate Sport Research Fellow. This is to reward those eligible for their long-term contributions to the field and provide motivation to continue publishing in JIS throughout their career. Our requirements would be a little different than other research fellow awards I’ve seen because JIS doesn’t have an affiliation with a conference. But that provides us with an opportunity to reward people that give not only in authorship, but those that also support other authors’ work through reviews. The qualifications are as follows:

Therefore, I am proposing the Journal of Intercollegiate Sport Research Fellow. To qualify, individuals would need to complete the following:

  • Four published works in JIS
    • At least one of those works being a first-author contribution
  • Reviewed six separate submissions at JIS as either a guest reviewer or editorial board member.
    • Separate submissions constitute different manuscripts, not revisions to a previously submitted manuscript.
    • No review records for JIS under the NCAA or Human Kinetics still exist, but these can count if the scholars still possess the e-mail correspondence for their completed reviews.
  • Complete 10 academic or practitioner presentations at a regional, national, or international conference on a collegiate sport topic. To count towards this requirement, the presentation must fulfill the following requirements.
    • Be presented at College Sport Research Institute (CSRI) or National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA)
    • Presentations that include a version of “college sport” in the title or include data collection within college sport stakeholders will count (the editor-in-chief will have final say on any interpretations)
    • At least three of those presentations being a first-author contribution

 

Scholars are required to submit materials through e-mail to the Editor-In-Chief (Matt Huml) for confirmation. Materials to submit include a CV and a cover letter listing your accomplishments that fulfill JIS Research Fellow requirements. Please contact the EIC if you have any questions.
