Guidlines for Edited Collection

The International Centre for Olympic Studies (ICOS) will produce a peer-reviewed collection of edited contributions from the Symposium papers. In an effort to foster this dissemination worldwide, and following a global trend in scholarly production, the edited collection will now be provided to all delegates in electronic format, as well through LA84, reinforcing ICOS’ positive stance on open access policies (www.la84foundation.org/index.html). ICOS no longer produces hard copies of Symposium papers.
