Journal of Qualitative Research In Sports: Vol 19 Issue 1

Welcome to Volume 19 (2024) Journal of Qualitative Research in Sports Studies (JQRSS) comprising papers from first-time authors alongside experienced writers, all wishing to share their ideas stemming from primary research or through critical discussion articles. A glance down the contents page reveals a range of contributions which are informative and thought provoking for people at different points on their journey through education and/or research experience. Reviewers' comments have been incorporated at the end of papers with a view to stimulating further discussion about a given topic. I hope readers will gain as much from browsing the experiences of others formulated through these pages as much as I have enjoyed working with the authors and editing this volume. Below, an Overview of [current] Submissions is followed by the JQRSS Qualitative Researcher Award for the previous year. Then an explanation of the Scope and Purpose of the Journal is followed by an Open call for Papers and JQRSS Operational Guidance, which provides both an invitation to submit work and further advice to potential authors. In closing, there are summative comments and editorial acknowledgements.
