Journal Analysis
It was published by Elsevier. The publisher, Elsevier, according to the Elseviers

website (2017).

Most of the writers in this journal are professors in the sports field. This journal

has published some special issues. Barefoot and Minimal Shoe Running. Volume 3,

Issue 2 (2014). Daniel E. Lieberman, Irene S. Davis and Benno M. Nigg.

After analyzing the data from this journal, I found this journal include many

topics closely relate in sports. The articles subject is education, science or medicine.

An example is, exercise or sports science, physical education and sport coaching,

health promotion. Not only the article of the topic is including several topics, but also

go deeper to discussion, for example, the traditional Chinese medicine. The other

features that I found in this journal, the editors are not only from the single country,

also come from all over the world, for instance, China, Taiwan, Germany, Finland,

Japan. In other worlds, this journal had certainly high representative and all of they

are professional in sport field. Moreover, the issue of this journal was more relate to

the nowadays issue because of the launched time are not far from now. Sports is a vast

industry, including Business, Health, Science, Education and Law. The journal has

article on all of this subject. This is a journal that help me to get more professional

knowledge about some topic I am not familiar with, such as science and medical.

Connecting those field with my major, Sports Management, will make my career

more successful.
