NEW JOURNAL: Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA)

The College Sport Research Institute (CSRI) is pleased to announce the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA), a peer-reviewed, scholarly, open-access journal, dedicated to encouraging, supporting, and disseminating interdisciplinary and interuniversity collaborative college-sport research.

As the College Sport Research Institute’s official journal, JIIA is dedicated to critically examining ethical, social, economic, and political issues surrounding college sport in the United States and providing readers with thought-provoking editorials, research articles, and reviews.

The Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics website: http://csri-jiia.org is a resource devoted entirely to topics of interest to college-sport researchers, NCAA and university administrators, athletic department staff members, faculty, media, and college athletes. This rigorously reviewed, open-access journal will feature quantitative and qualitative articles, as well as thought-provoking editorials and reviews.

The initial article from the 2008 Issue is

Intercollegiate Athletics: A Preliminary Study Examining the Opinions on the Impact of the Academic Performance Rate (APR)by Keith Christy, Chad Seifried and Donna L. Pastore

At the present time there are 17 manuscripts under review. As manuscripts are accepted for publication, they added to the current issue and the website will be immediately updated.
