Please send your submission via mail to jomar@dshs-koeln.de
Use the style sheet as a base layout and adhere to the guidelines below.
Main Contributions
Main contributions deal with central and overarching questions concerning martial arts and combat sports. They can take the form of an overview summarizing and assessing the state of research, develop theoretical approaches or methodological designs, document and classify empirical research projects or serve as a practical example. Simultaneously, the main contributions‘ topics should not be of a very narrow focus or highly specialized. These articles are reviewed in a double-blind peer-review process.
Impulse Papers / Research Reports
Research reports or impulse papers present questions, theoretical foundations, methodological considerations and empirical results from concrete research projects. Projects that have not yet been completed can also be published here using available interim results, while initial ideas can be formulated in the form of approaches to such projects. These papers‘ focus should be less general/more specialized than the one used in a main contribution. These papers are not peer-reviewed. They will be examined by an editor-in-chief and edited by the journal’s editorial team.
Conference Papers
The corresponding papers were simultaneously presented at an annual conference of the Commission for Martial Arts and Combat Sports of the German Association for Sports Science e.V. In terms of their structure, they offer the same possibilities as the impulse papers/research reports. They will be examined by an editor-in-chief and edited by the journal’s editorial team.
JOMAR | Reprints
JOMAR | Reprints are contributions from the proceedings of the annual conference of the dvs-committee “Martial Arts and Combat Sports“.
