Abstract: Since its inception, no formal content analysis of the "Sport Management Education Journal" has been conducted. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine article characteristics, assess topic diversity, determine predominant themes and methodological frameworks, and identify editorship and authorship gender differences. A total of 185 articles published by the Sport Management Education Journal from 2007 to 2023 were analyzed. The authors found that research articles were the most prevalent. A significant relationship between gender and article type and content was identified, as women were more likely to publish research-oriented articles than men. Women also accounted for 54.1% of first authors and 48.8% of all identified authors. As the first content analysis conducted on the "Sport Management Education Journal," this study provides a needed inspection of the only sport management journal committed to disseminating pedagogical knowledge.
