The Intercontinental Journal of Sport Management (Revista Intercontinental de Gestão Desportiva - RIGD) is a quarterly publication. RIGD's objectives focus on developing, promoting, and disseminating the science and practice of sport management. RIGD aims to make it easier for professionals working in different fields, whether sporting, political, educational, social, cultural, among others, to disseminate information and encourage cooperative learning. In particular, the journal focuses on management issues and their challenges (and ways of addressing them), brought about by the leading role of the world's scientific-technological advance.

The intercontinental dimension seeks to promote greater exchange between researchers from different cultural and national contexts; contributing and enriching our knowledge in the field of sports management. The special emphasis is on the transformation of tacit into explicit knowledge for the development of the sport. RIGD publishes original articles, review articles, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, comments, and news. Thematic special editions may also be published.

Papers submitted by the authors will be evaluated in advance by the editors who will determine their publication's relevance. Whether the submission meets all the formal requirements specified in the instructions for authors, the originals will then be subjected to blind peer review (without any authorship) and sent to two specialists for review. Based on the reviewers' opinion, the editors will issue one of the following concepts: approved for publication, approved with corrections, rejected for publication. In case of discrepancy between the two results, the text will be sent to a third reviewer, whose decision will define its publication.

The time elapsed between the submission of the paper and the results of the referees is around 8 weeks. If the article is approved, the time between submission and publication is around 16 weeks.

The authors will be notified by email of the acceptance (or refusal) of their submissions. Publishers do not assume responsibility for opinions/concepts expressed in signed articles and transcribed material.

Approved texts may be modified according to grammatical and spelling corrections, preserving the style of the author(s).

RIGD verifies the possibility of plagiarism in the articles submitted by the authors. Any evidence of plagiarism is immediately communicated to the authors and the text archived. Grammarly and Plagium systems are used for verification.
