Kinesiology Publications, organized in 1948 under the name Microform Publications, has since been providing a means for national and international dissemination of graduate theses and dissertations in human movement studies.

Kinesiology Publications cooperates with colleges and universities in English-speaking countries to preserve student theses and dissertations on microfiches and, more recently, in electronic format. This service provides wide access to current graduate research, promotes the research reputation of the participating schools' graduate programs, and encourages the spread of knowledge and understanding in Kinesiology and its allied fields.

Twice a year, the entire text of recently completed theses and dissertations preserved on microfiches are distributed to more than 100 subscribing university libraries and research institutions in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In addition, requests for microfiches and electronic files are received from students and researchers from throughout the world. Additions to the collection are indexed twice a year in Kinesiology Abstracts (KinAbs) (formerly: Microform Publications Bulletin). This publication represents the index for each semiannual release of completed research. The printed version is free to subscribers only, pdfs of the previous issues are available for free at KinAbs.

Kinesiology Publications is an indexing partner of Sport Information Resource Centre (SIRC) of Canada, the world's most authoritative sports information service. There, the authors, titles, and abstracts of the studies are incorporated into SIRC's SPORT database, which can be accessed on-line through international telecommunication networks. The information is also available on SPORTDiscus, a CD-ROM database available in many major libraries throughout the world.
