The Journal of Applied Sports Sciences (JASS) has transitioned to science publishing platform ARPHA. Making use of ARPHA’s advanced digital publishing infrastructure, the journal aims to enhance the accessibility and visibility of research in sports sciences.
JASS is published by the National Sports Academy "Vassil Levski" (NSA) in Sofia, Bulgaria. Established in 2017, it aims to represent a wide range of scientific publications in sports sciences, providing visibility of the research results and an opportunity to deepen knowledge in the field.
The journal covers a broad array of topics relevant to the advancement of sports and physical activity. Key areas include sports and health, physical education, sports management, and physiotherapy. It also seeks to enhance communication among the various disciplines in the field, actively seeking manuscripts with interdisciplinary content and application in sports.
JASS operates under a Diamond Open Access model, ensuring that all research outputs are freely accessible without any article processing charges for authors. Manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review process and are published continuously, featuring research outputs, review articles, reports, discussions, studies, and editorial materials. The journal’s complete archive is now available on the ARPHA platform.
“The integration of the Journal of Applied Sports Sciences with ARPHA’s publishing platform facilitates access to research and supports knowledge dissemination in sports sciences. ARPHA is proud to support JASS in its mission to share knowledge and contribute to global scientific progress,” commented Prof. Lyubomir Penev, CEO and founder of ARPHA.
