Infographic

The Sports Innovation Institute will supply infographic material for approved submissions that are published in the journal. The editors reserve the right to produce and share the creative design of the infographic but the author(s) will be sent a copy to approve content accuracy in relation to the submitted manuscript.

Podcast

Another outlet for sharing and explaining research published in the journal is through the Sports Innovation podcast. While not required, authors will be asked whether they would be willing to be interviewed for a podcast episode in which they would provide an oral summary of their research in a question and answer segment with the podcast host. The goal of the podcast episode would be to reach a broader audience of practitioners while also driving more traffic to download and read the full journal article, which will be linked to the podcast episode.
