“…2 5 The benefits and challenges of collaborative research in sport also are discussed. 26 Some researchers find the collaboration tendency of in specific sport topics, such as Spain tend to work with South America, and Iran prefers to collaborate with English-speaking countries, like Canada, England, Australia and the USA. 19 20 Compared with other disciplines, such as mathematics, physics and biology, international collaboration in sport sciences has not been adequately studied, especially from the macro-level perspective.…”

Background: Some bibliometric research has been carried out in sport sciences, but compared with other disciplines there is still no intensive study at macro level, especially on international collaboration. Aim: This study attempts to observe the status and trend of international collaboration in sport sciences at macro level, and to look at its relationship with academic impact. Methods: 20804 publications from 63 consistently issued journals belonging to the Sport Sciences category in Web of Science database in 2000-2001 & 2010-2011 were analyzed. The main objects include co-authorship links of country pairs, the share of international co-authored publications, tendency and "affinity" in collaboration, and citation impact of international publications. Differences between countries and periods were observed. Results: There is a rapid increase of the share of international collaboration in sport sciences. In some countries the share is even above 2/3; Co-authorship networks imply some cultural, political or geographical factors for collaboration, and their changes exhibit some new trends; Selected countries have strong tendency in collaboration; International collaborated publications have a higher performance than domestic ones in citation impact. But gaps between countries are narrowing. Conclusions: International collaboration really intensified in this field. European, especially Nordic countries are very fond of collaboration and have gained outstanding performance as a partner. It is meaningful to further explore the underlying motivation behind international collaboration in sport science research.

“…Research collaborations achieved consensus on importance and included collaborations within and outside the sports chiropractic profession. Reports suggest that international collaborative publications from sports sciences have a greater citation impact,22 and although collaboration may be challenging, it is worthwhile for sports science researchers 23. Moreover, results of both the Delphi methodology and the qualitative analysis identified sports chiropractors’ desire to collaborate in clinical settings and research with other sports clinicians and agencies.…”

“…Reports suggest that international collaborative publications from sports sciences have a greater citation impact, 22 and although collaboration may be challenging, it is worthwhile for sports science researchers. 23 Moreover, results of both the Delphi methodology and the qualitative analysis identified sports chiropractors’ desire to collaborate in clinical settings and research with other sports clinicians and agencies. In addition to the emphasis on research collaborations in sports chiropractors, a mixed-methods study conducted by Myburgh et al , 2021 of Danish chiropractors found a great emphasis on interdisciplinary management in sports settings.…”

ObjectivesDeveloping a research agenda is one method to facilitate broad research planning and prioritise research within a discipline. Despite profession-specific agendas, none have specifically addressed the research needs of the specialty of sports chiropractic. This study determined consensus on research priorities to inform a global sports chiropractic research agenda.MethodsA Delphi consensus methodology was used to integrate expert opinions. Clinicians, academics and leaders from the international sports chiropractic specialty were recruited using purposive sampling to participate in (1) a Delphi panel involving three voting rounds to determine consensus on research priorities and (2) a priority importance ranking of the items that reached consensus.ResultsWe identified and contacted 141 participants, with response rates for rounds 1, 2 and 3, of 44%, 31% and 34%, respectively. From the original 149 research priorities, 66 reached consensus in round 1, 63 in round 2 and 45 items in round 3. Research priorities reaching consensus were collapsed by removing redundancies, and priority ranking identified 20 research priorities, 11 related to collaboration and 6 to research themes.ConclusionsThe top-ranked items for research priorities, research themes and collaborations included the effects of interventions on performance, recovery and return to play; clinical research in sport; and collaborations with researchers in chiropractic educational institutions, respectively.ImplicationsThe prioritisation of research items can be evaluated by key stakeholders (including athletes) and implemented to develop the first international research agenda for sports chiropractic.

“…For example, Pitts (2001) noted how "NASSM has served as a center of activity and a focal point around which those interested in sport management academia have gathered and have been able to share and grow as a family" (p. 5). Daprano et al (2005) Are the debates and voids that have been plaguing and challenging our discipline reminiscent of some of the very same problems that other disciplines have stumbled through in their evolution and progression? What can the histories and challenges that other disciplines have faced offer for us in terms of insight into how to improve our own field?…”

The works of Kuhn (1996) and other scholars on the social construction of knowledge suggest that great insight can be gained about an academic field of study by investigating interaction patterns between and among scholars. Using a social network perspective, the intent of this study was to empirically explore the social interaction patterns among scholars in the field of sport management. A network model of coauthorship was generated using several rounds of sampling of scholars in the field and archival data collection from relevant journals. The derived network structure was then explored both visually and quantitatively for meaningful patterns. The results of the study essentially tell a story of the evolution and current state of the field’s collaboration structure. Drawing on propositions from the literature on the sociology of scientific knowledge generation, the findings are discussed relative to what the obtained network structure might hold for sport management scholarship.
