Chinese Sport Science Journal Skills

Use when targeting 《体育与科学》(Sports & Science, Jiangsu) — a CSSCI sport-science journal distinctive for reflective, interdisciplinary, theory-forward and methodologically self-aware scholarship (academic dialogues, critical essays, problem-and-method debates) in sport humanities & social science. Best for conceptual/critical contributions that advance how the field thinks; route empirical exercise science, applied competitive work, and standard survey社科 to the appropriate specialist venues.

Use when targeting 《体育科学》(China Sport Science) — the China Sport Science Society flagship and top CSSCI sport-science journal (体育学). Apply to sport & exercise science spanning 运动人体科学 (生理/生化/生物力学/运动医学/体质健康), 体育人文社会学 (体育社会学/管理/经济/政策/史哲), 运动训练与竞技体育, 学校体育, 民族传统体育. Supports both natural-science experiments/interventions and social-science survey/qualitative/policy work; demands a real sport-science problem and discipline-appropriate rigor, not generic econometrics or pedagogy borrowed from other fields.

Use when deciding which Chinese sport-science (体育学) journal skill to invoke next, comparing fit across the 12 CSSCI sport-science source journals (《体育科学》《中国体育科技》, the Beijing/Shanghai/Chengdu/Wuhan/Xi'an/Shenyang/Tianjin sport-university journals, 《体育学刊》《体育学研究》《体育与科学》), or routing a sport-science manuscript before venue-specific rewriting. Also use to redirect manuscripts that only use sport as a case back to econ/management or clinical venues.

Use when targeting 《体育学研究》(Journal of Sports Research, Nanjing Sport Institute) — a CSSCI journal focused on sport social science / sport humanities, valuing disciplined problem framing and substantive theoretical dialogue (sport sociology, governance, policy, history, philosophy). Best for theory-engaged sport social science with rigorous method; route exercise science and applied competitive work to the natural-science / 中国体育科技 venues, and reflective/methodological essays to 《体育与科学》.

Use when targeting 《体育学刊》(Journal of Physical Education) — a CSSCI sport-science journal (South China Normal University) with a strong profile in school physical education and sport humanities & social science (mass sport, sport policy, sport sociology), alongside general sport science. Best for school-PE reform, youth fitness/health promotion, and theory-engaged sport social science; route lab exercise science and applied competitive work to the exercise-science / 中国体育科技 venues.

Use when targeting 《中国体育科技》(China Sport Science and Technology) — the CSSCI applied/competitive sport-science journal from the China Institute of Sport Science (国家体育总局体育科学研究所), sibling to 《体育科学》. Best for competitive sport, sports training practice, talent identification, physical conditioning, technical/tactical analysis, training-load and physiological/biochemical monitoring, anti-doping, and sports rehabilitation — i.e. application-oriented exercise science. Route theory-heavy or综合 contributions to 《体育科学》, and sport-as-case econ/clinical papers out of sport venues.

Use when targeting 《武汉体育学院学报》(Journal of Wuhan Sports University) — a CSSCI comprehensive sport-science journal hosted by Wuhan Sports University, covering sports training & competitive sport, exercise science, and sport humanities & social science with a solid all-round profile. Best for well-evidenced studies across sub-fields without a narrowly specialist home; route history/ethnic-traditional-sport to 成都, strongly theory-led social science to 上海/南京, and applied competitive work to 《中国体育科技》.

Use when targeting 《成都体育学院学报》(Journal of Chengdu Sport University) — a CSSCI comprehensive sport-science journal hosted by Chengdu Sport University, distinctively strong in sport history, ethnic traditional sport, martial arts, traditional health-preservation (养生) and sport culture, alongside general sport science. Best for historically/culturally grounded sport studies and ethnic-traditional-sport scholarship; route lab-based exercise science to the exercise-science-leaning venues and applied competitive work to 《中国体育科技》.

Use when targeting 《沈阳体育学院学报》(Journal of Shenyang Sport University) — a CSSCI comprehensive sport-science journal hosted by Shenyang Sport University in northeast China, covering the full breadth of sport science with a recognized strength in winter sport (冰雪运动) alongside training, exercise science and sport humanities & social science. Best for well-evidenced studies across sub-fields, and a natural home for winter-sport / ice-and-snow research; route to specialist venues when a sharper home exists.

Use when targeting 《天津体育学院学报》(Journal of Tianjin University of Sport) — a CSSCI comprehensive sport-science journal hosted by Tianjin University of Sport, with a recognized tilt toward 运动人体科学 (exercise physiology / biochemistry / biomechanics / sports medicine / motor control) alongside training and sport humanities & social science. Best for rigorous experimental/measurement exercise-science work and well-evidenced studies needing mechanistic depth; route applied competitive practice to 《中国体育科技》 and history/social-theory work to the social-science-leaning venues.

Use when targeting 《上海体育大学学报》(Journal of Shanghai University of Sport, formerly 上海体育学院学报) — a top CSSCI comprehensive sport-science journal with a notably strong social-science / sport-management / policy profile and an internationalized outlook, while still publishing exercise science. Best for theoretically engaged sport social science, sport governance/industry/policy, and well-framed cross-disciplinary work; route applied/competitive training to 《中国体育科技》.

Use when targeting 《西安体育学院学报》(Journal of Xi'an Physical Education University) — a CSSCI comprehensive sport-science journal hosted by Xi'an Physical Education University, covering the full breadth of sport science (training & competitive sport, exercise science, sport humanities & social science, school PE) with a solid northwest-China all-round profile. Best for well-framed, well-evidenced studies needing a comprehensive CSSCI sport venue; route to specialist venues when a sharper home exists.
