A Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Esporte (RBCE), eISSN 2179-3255, é um periódico científico de Acesso Aberto, publicado online e editado pelo Colégio Brasileiro de Ciências do Esporte (CBCE). A revista aceita artigos em português, inglês ou espanhol, que passam por avaliação por pares e são publicados em fluxo contínuo. Breve Histórico A RBCE publicou seu primeiro volume em 1979 e, ao longo da década seguinte, priorizou a divulgação de artigos originais, crônicas, notícias, anais de congressos, relatos de experiências, entrevistas, cartas de leitores e resenhas de teses e dissertações. Nesse período, a revista abordou temas como motricidade humana, gestão esportiva, inclusão e os dez anos do CBCE. Em 1992, o volume 12 reuniu os números 1, 2 e 3 e marcou a primeira edição temática da revista, dedicada ao lazer. Durante a década de 1990, as edições temáticas foram mantidas e definidas a partir das demandas dos associados ao CBCE, abrangendo temas como ensino da Educação Física, aprendizagem motora, currículo, gênero, legislação, avaliação, esporte, comunicação, mídia, lazer e meio ambiente. A partir do volume 30, publicado em 2008, a RBCE encerrou as edições temáticas e passou a publicar artigos de diferentes enfoques e linhas de pesquisa. Ainda em 2008, por ocasião de seu vigésimo nono aniversário, a revista lançou sua versão digital, ampliando a disseminação do conhecimento científico e fortalecendo o intercâmbio com instituições nacionais e internacionais. Em 2019, a RBCE adotou o sistema de publicação em fluxo contínuo, agilizando a veiculação dos artigos aprovados. Já em 2023, foram criadas duas seções, Dossiê e Painel, com o objetivo de destacar temas de relevância nacional e, ao mesmo tempo, fortalecer a internacionalização da revista. Acesso Aberto Este periódico segue o modelo de Acesso Aberto (Open Acess), permitindo o acesso virtual, sem restrição (incluindo restrições financeiras), a todos os textos científicos publicados pelo periódico. Acesso aberto é a condição em que o detentor dos direitos autorais de um trabalho acadêmico concede direitos de uso a terceiros usando uma licença aberta (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY ), permitindo acesso gratuito imediato ao trabalho e autorizando qualquer usuário a ler, baixar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, pesquisar ou vincular os textos completos dos artigos, rastreá-los para indexação, passá-los como dados para software ou usá-los para qualquer outra finalidade legal.
