Manuscript Type

Jurnal Ilmu Olahraga dan Pendidikan Jasmani (JIOPJ) accepts manuscripts that significantly contribute to the fields of sport sciences, physical education, and related disciplines. Authors may submit the following types of manuscripts:

1. Original Research Articles

These are detailed, original research findings that have not been published previously. The manuscript must represent a significant advancement in understanding a particular topic within the journal's scope.

  • Structure: Must follow the standard academic format: Introduction (Background, Context, Literature Review, Objectives), Research Method, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References.

  • Length: A minimum of 5,000 words in total.

2. Literature Reviews / Systematic Reviews

These articles provide a critical and comprehensive evaluation of previously published research on a specific topic relevant to the journal's scope. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses fall into this category.

  • Structure: Should include an Introduction outlining the scope of the review, the Methodology used for selecting literature, a main body synthesizing the findings, and a Conclusion identifying gaps in current knowledge and proposing future research directions.

3. Conceptual / Theoretical Studies

These papers advance theoretical understanding, propose new models, or discuss emerging concepts related to sports, physical education, sports marketing, or the sports industry.

  • Structure: While the structure may be more flexible than original research, it must be logically organized with a clear Introduction, well-defined thematic sections developing the conceptual framework, a Conclusion, and robust References.

Note: All manuscript submissions, regardless of type, must adhere to the formatting, ethical guidelines, and minimum length requirements as outlined in the Author Guidelines.
