Keywords:
Scientific authority, sports policy-making, academic journals, sports management, policy-making challengesAbstract
The objective of this study is to examine the role of the scientific authority of sports management journals in the sports policy-making process in Iran. The study aims to identify the impact of reputable academic journals on sports policy, the challenges and obstacles in the communication between these journals and policymakers, and to propose strategies to improve the policy-making process. This research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach with a literature review methodology. Data were collected through the examination of credible scientific sources, articles published in national and international journals, and analysis of related research findings. The study aimed to explore the role of scientific authority in sports policy-making in Iran by analyzing content and reviewing relevant literature. The findings indicate that reputable scientific journals can significantly influence sports policy-making. However, in Iran, several barriers, including ineffective communication between scientific journals and policymakers, cultural and managerial obstacles, and insufficient use of scientific knowledge in policy formulation, have reduced the impact of these journals. The results also show that strengthening the interaction between universities and governmental bodies, developing scientific networks, and enhancing international collaborations can help improve the sports policy-making process in Iran. The scientific authority of sports management journals plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality and efficiency of sports policy-making in Iran. However, to better utilize these academic resources, existing barriers must be addressed, and communication between researchers and policymakers must be strengthened. It is recommended that further research be conducted on the challenges of sports policy-making in Iran to provide suitable strategies for improving these processes.
