We are dedicated to developing and maintaining strong, mutually-beneficial relationships with our agency partners.

Our Journals

Our journals provide quality, cutting-edge information for use by professors, teachers, researchers, practitioners, health care professionals, coaches, fitness enthusiasts, and many others. We publish 27 scholarly journals in the subject areas of athletic training, therapy, and rehabilitation; physical education and coaching; psychology and behavior in sport/exercise; social studies in sport and physical activity; sport and exercise science/kinesiology; and sport business and sport management. For an at-a-glance look at our titles, see our journals page.

Our Web Platform

Human Kinetics is committed to providing institutions with a valuable online experience, including easy access to subscribed content and accurate usage reporting. Our content is hosted on the KGL PubFactory platform, which is COUNTER compliant. 

Subscription Offerings

Formats

All our journals are available online, allowing users quick and easy access to the same authoritative content available in the print versions. Our journals are also available in print format with the exception of Case Studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology, Case Studies in Sport Management, Journal for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour, Journal of Electronic Gaming and Esports, and Women in Sport and Physical Activity Journal. Institutions may choose from online-only, print-only, or online + print subscription options. Additionally, institutions may choose either a 1-year or 2-year subscription. Online subscribers are entitled access to all back issues published by Human Kinetics for each title for the duration of the subscription, as well as Ahead of Print content for the subscribed content.

Per Title Subscriptions vs. Site License Subscriptions

To better accommodate educational institutions subscribing to multiple journal titles, we offer annual site license options, and these orders may be placed through subscription agents. A site license offers online-only access to all of our 27 journals for 1 year, including all back content and Ahead of Print content. In addition to site licenses, we continue to offer institutional per title subscriptions. 

Perpetual Access

Human Kinetics has named Portico as a perpetual access source for our former subscribers to request ongoing access to past subscribed content. Note that these subscribers must also be Portico-participating libraries.
