About the Journal & Publisher

Indonesian Sports Justice Review is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary scholarship on the intersection of sport, law, justice, governance, human rights, ethics, and public policy. The journal provides a scholarly forum for theoretical, empirical, comparative, and policy-oriented research examining the legal, institutional, social, political, and ethical dimensions of contemporary sport.

Sport is not only a field of physical activity and competition but also an important social institution in which questions of rights, equality, fairness, regulation, accountability, identity, inclusion, and institutional power are continuously negotiated. Indonesian Sports Justice Review therefore approaches sport as a significant area of academic inquiry and public governance, examining how legal systems, sporting institutions, public authorities, athletes, communities, and other stakeholders interact in shaping the governance and social consequences of sport.

The journal places particular emphasis on sports justice, understood broadly as the study of fairness, rights protection, legal accountability, institutional integrity, and equitable participation within sporting systems. It welcomes scholarship addressing both established and emerging challenges in sport, including athlete rights, sports regulation, disciplinary mechanisms, safeguarding, discrimination, gender equality, corruption, match manipulation, sports governance, labor relations, commercial interests, and the relationship between sport and public policy.

Scholarly and Interdisciplinary Orientation

Indonesian Sports Justice Review adopts an interdisciplinary orientation, welcoming contributions from sports law, legal studies, sports management, political science, sociology, human rights, public policy, economics, ethics, communication, criminology, and related fields.

The journal particularly values research that moves beyond descriptive accounts of sporting practices and engages with broader theoretical, institutional, or normative questions. Contributions are expected to demonstrate clear engagement with relevant international scholarship and provide a substantive contribution to the understanding of sport, justice, governance, or related social and legal phenomena.

The journal encourages research that connects local and national sporting experiences with broader regional and international debates. While Indonesia constitutes an important geographical and intellectual context, the journal welcomes contributions from researchers and institutions worldwide, particularly studies concerning Southeast Asia, Asia, the Global South, and comparative international sporting systems.

Sport, Law, and Justice

A central concern of the journal is the relationship between sporting institutions and legal systems. The journal provides a platform for scholarship examining how law regulates sport and how sporting practices, in turn, raise new legal and normative questions.

Areas of interest include sports dispute resolution, athlete rights, disciplinary proceedings, contractual relationships, employment and labor rights, anti-doping regulation, safeguarding, competition regulation, intellectual property, liability, and the legal responsibilities of sporting organizations.

The journal also encourages scholarship examining whether existing legal and institutional frameworks adequately protect participants and promote fairness, accountability, and integrity within sport.

Sport, Human Rights, and Social Justice

The journal recognizes sport as an important arena for the realization, negotiation, and contestation of human rights. It therefore welcomes research examining equality, non-discrimination, freedom of association, freedom of expression, gender equality, child protection, athlete welfare, disability and inclusion, migrant athletes, and the rights of marginalized communities.

Research addressing the role of sport in advancing social inclusion, community empowerment, peacebuilding, and social development is also encouraged.

Sport Governance and Institutional Integrity

The journal examines governance structures and accountability mechanisms within sports organizations at local, national, regional, and international levels. Research may address issues of **trans
