Academic journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation of new research as well as for scrutiny and critique of existing works of research. According to Schaffner (1994), academic journals play pivotal roles within scholarly communities through five different roles. First, an academic journal must communicate information among scholars working in a particular field. Secondly, through such communication, a journal may not only construct and develop scientific communities, but it can also link a scholarly community together in a number of ways. Thirdly, by connecting a community of scholars, academic journals help to build a collective knowledge base. The fourth role is to make certain that relevant journals are comprised of the most comprehensive, upto-date, and authoritative archive of information in a given scholarly discipline. Lastly, the most significant role that academic journals may play is to form an archive of knowledge within a field (Schaffner, 1994). Early and present-day scholars in the academic discipline of sport management have advocated for an ongoing process to develop a comprehensive body of knowledge with relevant and topical issues in the area of sport (Cuneen & Parks, 1997; Fielding, Pitts, & Miller, 1991; Mahony & Pitts, 1998; Parks & Quarterman, 2003). An important way to continue the growth of the field is through the analysis of publications of pertinent studies in the field. Specifically, Pedersen and Pitts (2001) stated that journal articles in the sport management academy should provide up-to-date theoretical constructs, as well as practical applications in order to ensure its relevance to professional and academic communities. As the flagship journal of the Sport and Recreation Law Association, the Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport (JLAS) serves “... as an interdisciplinary outlet for legal issues in the sport, recreation, and related fields to meet the needs of researchers, academicians, practitioners, and policymakers” (About JLAS, para. 2). As Anderson (2001) stated:
