Editors' note.

Feddersen, Arne ; Ruseski, Jane ; Buraimo, Babatunde 等

This issue of the International Journal of Sport Finance (IJSF) represents another milestone in our history: It is the 10th anniversary of our journal. In February 2006, the first issue of IJSF, published under the editorship of Dennis Howard and Bill Gerrard, displayed the broad variety of topics we regularly publish. While the early issues contained four research articles and an executive interview, later issues consisted mainly of five research articles with an occasional book review. This steady development of the IJSF into a renowned field journal is a major accomplishment of Dennis and Bill during the journal's first three years, as well as the second editorial team of Rob Simmons, Brad Humphreys, and Bernd Frick, who served for the next six years. We would like to thank them for their vision and dedication. Now entering our second year as an editorial team, we have aspired to continue featuring current research and topics of interest, which has enabled IJSF to position itself as a premier journal in the field.

It is with pleasure that we welcome the move of the previous editorial team to the editorial board, along with nine additional internationally esteemed scholars who are joining the editorial board of IJSF in this milestone year. We thank these new editorial board members for their willingness to fulfill this role and their support in the future, and to acknowledge our incumbent editorial board members who continue to serve in this role.

Finally, we would like to take the opportunity to recognize those who have worked diligently this past decade: FiT Publishing, which founded IJSF and has provided much-appreciated support to the editorial teams; the European Sport Economics Association (ESEA), which has adopted IJSF as its official journal and has allowed the journal to feature some of the best research presented at the ESEA's annual conference; and all of the IJSF reviewers and authors, past and present, for their commitment to the journal. Without your ongoing engagement it would not have been possible to accomplish the goal of making IJSF a high-quality outlet for sport finance and sport economics research. Looking toward the future, we are committed to making a significant and sustained contribution to the development of the field. We are only able to achieve these goals due to the strong support we receive from all of you.
