This article discusses the role that journals and their editors have played in the growth of sports sociology as an academic discipline. It is suggested that journals are not neutral spaces in which academics share their research but, rather, they and their editors occupy a powerful position within academic life and are thus worthy of critical examination. Using data from interviews with several previous editors of leading sports sociology journals, examination is made of their motivation to take on the role, their positioning of the journal, their experiences of working with peer reviewers and attracting papers and why they relinquished the role. The article explores the opportunities presented by the recent evolution of scholarly publication, specifically the “open access” platform, and the challenges this presents to sports sociology journals
