本研究的主要目的在對臺灣體育運動管理學報已出版的期刊論文進行內容分析。採用Pitts與Pedersen(2005)對運動管理期刊的分析類目,將所欲分析的內容概分為基本屬性、研究方法和研究議題等三大類,各大類下並細分成數個子類目。根據所欲瞭解的類目,研究者編製出內容分析登錄表,經訓練後交由2位登錄員進行試登錄,俟其內容登錄之決定能趨於一致後始進行正式登錄。經分析後發現,本學報在作者數、編審作業、研究方法和研究議題上和國外具代表性的運動管理期刊有些許的差異存在。根據本研究之發現,除給發行單位提出簡述作者身分及機構、擴充投稿領域類別、均衡研究方法及研究議題之建議外,也對未來研究提出可行性方向的建議。

After proper training, two coders conducted a pretest to determine the validity of the coding sheet and revise the coding sheet. After reviewing all issues of Journal of Taiwan Society for Sport Management, some important findings were released. The results showed that the editorship, research methods, and research topics of the Journal of Taiwan Society for Sport Management, as well as many of the authors who submitted articles to the publication, were different from those found in leading international sports management journals. This study also provides publishers with brief descriptions of authors and their affiliations, information on expanded areas of study within the field of sports management, perspectives on balance in research methods, and suggestions for future research.
