Call for papers
Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia, and Latin America is a new peer-review online journal that encourages the publication of original research into the relationships that exist between recreation (incorporating sport, leisure, events, and tourism) and communities and organisations at the local, national, and international levels within the context of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Papers are invited from academics, graduate students, and those actively researching in relevant fields. Fields of research for potential manuscripts include, but are not limited to:
Being an on-line journal publications do not need to be restricted to word-based documents. Rather, wholly or partially visual and/or audio based material may also be submitted to the journal for review and potential publication. Furthermore, given the nature of the focus of the journal and the potentially diverse nature of the authorship of the journal papers written in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Arabic, Swahili, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba, in addition to English, will be accepted provided they are accompanied by informative summaries, reference lists, and abstracts in either English or French. This innovative decision will only succeed if sufficient suitable multilingual reviews can be obtained so it is possible that authors who submit work in a language other than English may subsequently be asked to re-submit an English version. The journal will publish issues twice-yearly.
