We welcome submissions dealing with any aspects of rowing, swimming, sailing, diving, surfing, fishing, canoeing and any other recreational or competitive maritime, riverine or other aquatic sporting activity, including the practices, participants, organisation, or institutions of aquatic sport. We particularly encourage submissions dealing with issues, practices, and cultures outside Europe and North America.

Please submit your paper by Monday 7 April 2025. Papers should be no longer than 10,000 words, including references. Full guidance on preparation and the publication process is available here (https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=fhsp20&page=instructionsions). Please follow these instructions now; it will smooth the review and production process and will save us asking you to change the presentation later.

You must submit via the ScholarOne system, accessible on the IJHS page (https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/fhsp20/current), using the (green) Submit an Article button. Please make sure that you select the Maritime, Riverine, and Aquatic Sport option on the Special Issue drop-down menu.

Your paper will be considered through the usual refereeing process, managed by IJHS Special Issue Editor Dr Malcolm MacLean, working with academic editor Dr Daniele Cristina Carqueijeiro de Medeiros of Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil. We aim to publish in early 2026.

We are looking forward to seeing your submissions. If you have any questions about the process, please contact Malcolm at malcolmkmaclean@gmail.com.
