What scholars are saying about Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports
Sports analysis has proceeded for decades without a legitimate academic outlet. Various journals have published isolated sports analysis as it relates to their major focus, but JQAS is the first to recognize that sports analysis is a science in itself. Thus far, the journal has provided numerous articles that are thought-provoking and adaptable to my practice in basketball.
