Sport Sciences scientific journals in Chile (1929-2014): bibliography, characteristics, quality

Abstract To date, several studies about sport sciences in Chile have been developed, but any of them has been focused on its scientific journals. Thus, the aim of the present study was to prepare a bibliography of the sport sciences scientific journals published in Chile until 2014 and describe their characteristics and quality. All journals dedicated to sport sciences and published in Chile until 2014 were included, registering their bibliographic information, characteristics and quality. Twelve journals published from 1912 to 2014 were discovered, six of them currently edited. Most of them were published by universities in the metropolitan region with a biannual frequency, did not include address information of editorial committee's members, used a non blind review process for submitted articles and were not indexed in any database. In conclusion, these journals should improve their formal aspects and characteristics for increasing their visibility and quality.摘要 迄今为止，智利体育科学领域已开展多项相关研究，但尚无研究聚焦于该国体育科学学术期刊。有鉴于此，本研究旨在编制截至2014年于智利出版的体育科学学术期刊的文献目录，并对其办刊特征与质量进行系统描述。本研究纳入了截至2014年在智利出版的所有体育科学类期刊，对其文献信息、办刊特征与质量进行登记备案。本次研究共检索到1912年至2014年间出版的期刊共12种，其中6种目前仍在刊行。多数期刊由智利首都大区的高校出版，出版周期为半年刊，未刊载编委会成员的通讯地址，对投稿文章采用非盲审审稿流程，且未被任何数据库收录。综上，此类期刊应优化其形式规范与办刊特征，以提升其学术传播度与整体办刊质量。
