Content dissemination policy

Content Dissemination Policy

SPORTIS is committed to ensuring broad and accessible dissemination of its published content, following the quality and visibility guidelines established by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). To this end, the following dissemination strategies and principles are established:

1. Open Access and Availability

All articles published in SPORTIS are available in open access, without economic or technological restrictions, on the journal’s official website. This policy reflects a commitment to the democratization of knowledge and compliance with national and international open science regulations.

2. Repositories and Databases

The journal’s content is disseminated through its inclusion in institutional and subject-based open access repositories, such as Dialnet, REDIB, DOAJ, Web of Science, Dimensions, OpenAlex, and Scopus, among others. Furthermore, indexing in scientific databases that promote the journal’s internationalization and accessibility to the academic community is encouraged.

3. Persistent Identifiers and Standardized Metadata

Each published article is assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), ensuring permanent identification and citability. In addition, international metadata standards (Dublin Core, OAI-PMH) are applied to facilitate interoperability with other scientific information systems.

4. Dissemination through Academic and Social Networks

SPORTIS actively promotes its publications through academic networks such as ResearchGate and Google Scholar, as well as professional social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter (X), with the aim of maximizing the impact of published research.

5. Visibility and Impact Strategies

  • The use of alternative metrics such as Altmetrics is recommended to assess the dissemination of articles in digital media.
  • Authors are encouraged to use personal identifiers such as ORCID to improve the traceability of their publications.
  • The publication of graphical abstracts and short explanatory videos is recommended to enhance dissemination in accessible formats.

6. Self-Archiving Policy

SPORTIS allows and encourages immediate self-archiving of articles in institutional and personal repositories, respecting the final published version and ensuring compliance with the established dissemination licenses.

7. Collaboration with Institutions and Knowledge Networks

The journal is open to collaboration agreements with universities, research groups, and scientific associations to enhance the dissemination of its content at both national and international levels.

8. Evaluation and Continuous Improvement Measures

To improve the dissemination and impact of the journal, periodic monitoring of bibliometric and visibility indicators is carried out, adjusting dissemination strategies based on the results obtained.
