FOCUS AND SCOPE
As an open-access vehicle, we believe that the dissemination of science can be reconstructed to become more democratic - a science that is shared for wider consumption. However, subscription-based content has historically been better covered by libraries, and furthermore, there are established processes, budgets and culture for libraries to preserve purchased content, while freely accessible content is not guaranteed to be preserved. (1) For this reason OLYMPIKA opted for a hybrid system, encompassing both free-access material and material for subscribers. Regardless of this option, all journal content receives a persistent digital identification (ARK or DOI), is deposited in repositories and archived in scientific journals preservation networks (see more below).

OLYMPIKA MAGAZINE publishes original works linked to all areas of Olympic sports, as defined by COI(1). In addition, related areas are covered, such as physical activities, fitness, among others.
Manuscripts must fit into the following categories: literature review, case study, bibliometric review, action research and survey. News, conference reviews and interviews can also be published, as long as they meet technical standards for scientific texts. See the Submissions page.
The signed articles are the authors' responsibility and the opinions and judgments contained in them do not necessarily express the positions of the Editorial Board.

ENGLISH VERSION
OLYMPIKA MAGAZINE accepts contributions from all over the world as long as they accompany the original English version of the work. The relevance regarding the internationalization of journals was a central theme of the IV Annual Meeting of SciELO (2), as well as a relevant topic discussed in the scientific editorial environment.
The internationalization of academic journals is one of the lines of action that SciELO has been promoting as a priority in recent years, alongside the strengthening of professionalization and financial sustainability. The achievement of these lines of action is considered essential by the program so that indexed journals increase the efficiency and quality of the editing, publication and dissemination processes, following the state of the international art and as a necessary condition for a leap in national and international visibility and credibility.
