Welcome to the H-Sport network!
This welcome message is designed to provide you with basic
information about this network. It contains information on using the
list (managing your subscription; tips on contacting and communicating
via the list; mailing addresses of the list editors; a list of the
current editorial board); rules for posting (style, editorial practice);
information about H-Sport's associated service on the World Wide Web;
and contact information about H-Sport's parent, H-Net.
I. The H-Sport Network: Scope, Content, Purpose
Welcome to H-Sport, H-Net's list on the interdisciplinary field of sport
studies. H-Sport enables scholars around the world who are engaged in
the historical, socio-cultural, and philosophical stu dy of sport,
physical education, and physical activity to discuss research and
teaching interests, conferences and symposia, current issues, sources of
fundin g, publishing, new data and collections, and other areas of
interest to scholar s. H-Sport is the successor to SPORTHIST, a list
originally maintained by the International Society for the History of
Physical Education and Sport (ISHPES).
II.
Editors
To view H-Sport's editors, please access:
http
://www.h-net.org/people/editors/editors.cgi?list=H-Sport
The editors serve two-year renewable terms, with the approval of the
H-Net Executive Committee and rotate their duties. The current editor
will be identified in all messages coming from the list. The editors
will solicit postings (by email, phone and even by regular mail), will
assist people in managing subscriptions and setting up options, will
handle routine inquiries, and will consolidate some postings. Anyone
with suggestions about what H-Sport can and might do is invited to send
in ideas. The editors will solicit and post newsletter-type information
(calls for conferences, for example, or listings of sessions at
conventions.) Like all H-Net lists, H-Sport is moderated to edit out
material that, in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list,
involves technical matters (such as subscription management requests),
is inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet
etiquette. Please read section III below for details about ownership,
style, formatting, and content of your messages. H-Net's procedure for
resolving disputes over list editorial practices is Article II, Section
2.20 of our bylaws, located at: http://www.h-net.org/about/policies.php
III. Communicating Through the List
A. Copyright notice. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. H-Net considers all messages
posted to its lists to be a form of publication. All contributions to
H-Sport fall under Art. II, Sec. 2.04 of the H-Net Bylaws concerning
copyright and intellectual property:
"Although authors of
messages to H-Net lists retain the copyright in those messages, sending
a message to an H-Net list for posting will constitute permission to
H-Net and its subscribers for electronic distribution and downloading
for nonprofit educational purposes with proper attribution to the
author, the originating list, and the date of original posting. Original
messages to H-Net lists are not in the public domain, and may not be
used for other than educational, nonprofit purposes without the
permission of the copyright holder and notification to H-Net." In
general, the author retains copyright rights to publication of any
submission to the list, and grants to H-Sport and H-Net permission to
store, disseminate with full attribution, and make available to
subscribers such submissions without further permission. Postings (such
as H-Net reviews) that are commissioned by H-Net are copyrighted by
H-Net and may be reprinted for nonprofit, educational purposes with
proper attribution to the author, location, and H-Net. A full copy of
the H-Net Constitution and Bylaws and other important information may be
found on the World Wide Web at: http://www.h-net.org/about/.
B. Contributions: "Netiquette." The tone and content of H-Sport
depend directly on subscribers. The editors want to encourage lively,
informal, productive discussion and exchange of information. To that
end, we ask that contributions be considerate of the needs of a busy
audience of scholars, many of whom must pay for their access to the
internet. A number of excellent guides to online behavior and style are
available on the World Wide Web; we invite you consult them.
-- ALL MAIL TO THE LIST MUST BE SIGNED. The editors will delay
posting until authorship and email address are confirmed.
-- CONTENT: Editors retain the right to review material for its
pertinence, tone, style, and relevance to the list's mission. Ad
hominems, unattributed quotations or innuendo, private messages
forwarded for posting without permission, or messages that violate the
norms of civility and professional courtesy will be rejected. Persistent
violators can be removed from the subscription list.
--
STYLE: the default editorial style for the list is that of a letter to
the editor. Your remarks can be crafted to suit the tone of an existing
discussion thread, but in any case they should address the editor and
not make direct personal references to others, except where you are
replying directly to a simple query (e.g., "you can find this
information in Webster's Third International Dictionary."). Avoid
excessive quotation of messages you refer or reply to.
--
FORMAT: Please send messages in plain text: no styles, html, special
fonts, graphics files, or nonstandard characters (including
diacriticals). Signature files are subject to editing for content and
length. Advertisements in signatures will be removed. Remove or turn off
.vcf, digital signatures, or other automatic attachments. As a rule,
editors do not redistribute attachments to the list; consider posting
the material at a web site, or consult with the editor concerning proper
venues for publication.
