Author Guidelines

Journal of Sport Science and Tourism Activity (JOSITA) publishes articles in sport and tourism themes that are listed in the ‘Focus and Scope’ section. Please submit your article and the editorial board will provide you with feedback on the theme suitability.

Original Research / Review

Articles included into this category are research papers with the suggested word length of 3,500 – 5,000 excluding tables and figures. Original research articles should follow the systematics below:

  • Title – The title should be ‘catchy’ but not diverting the main message of the article. We suggest authors to avoid titles which identify the institution where the research was undertaken.
  • Abstract - The abstract should be in both Bahasa Indonesia and English with the maximum length of 250 words for each language. The abstract should incorporate Background/Latar belakang (the background and rationale of the study), Aims/Tujuan (study aims/objectives), Methods/Metode (a short explanation of the research methodology applied), Results/Hasil (the essence of the research results), Conclusion/Kesimpulan (a short conclusion and recommendation based on the research) and Keywords/Kata kunci (3-6 keywords).
  • Practice Points – Authors are suggested to list 2-5 practice points to highlight the applicability, novelty and impact of the research.
  • Introduction – The introduction should discuss the background of the research, the rationale and the research questions and/or aims. In this section, the current evidence on the topic should be discussed to subsequently be related to the research gap which would be addressed by the research.
  • Methods -  This section should include the research design applied, context, subject and sampling, data collection tools, data analysis and the steps of the research.
  • Results and Discussion -  Journal of Sport Science and Tourism Activity (JOSITA) recommends authors to combine the results and discussion altogether. In this section, authors also should discuss the strengths and limitations of the current study.
  • Conclusion – Authors are expected to provide a brief conclusion to recap the information in the previous sections.
  • Competing interests -  Authors should declare any competing or possible conflict of interest regarding the article. Available funding donors should also be declared.
  • Acknowledgements (if any)
  • References – The amount of literature cited should not exceed 20 and it is expected that 80% of them are current literature of the last 10 years. Special consideration applies when the editorial board considers that it would be relevant to include more numbers of literatures. Writing the bibliography using the Reference Management application (Zotero, Mendeley, or others) and the citation model, namely the seventh edition of the American Psychological Association (APA Style) model
  • Tables and Figures/Illustrations - should be attached as an appendix and numbered accordingly. Please give marks in the article where the particular table or figure should be embedded.
