Nevertheless,theindexationprocessper sedoesnotguar-anteethehighestvisibilityforanarticle.Documentre-trievalfromdatabasesmainlyoperatesthroughwordssearch,andthiscanbeproblematicforMA&CSresearch-ers.MA&CSterminology isverydiverseandhetero-geneousduetotheamountofdifferentstyles,schoolsandmartialpracticesorsportsthatexistallaroundtheworld[3].Also,romanizationofEasternMartialArtstermsand theiradaptation toeachcultural contexthavefurtherextendedthediversityandheterogeneityofMA&CSterminology.Therefore,researchersmayeasilyfindinscientificliteraturedifferenttermsforthesamemartialart,suchasTaekwondo, Tae-kwon-do, Taekwando, Taekwandoo,etc.

Material and Methods
Articleor reviewdocumentspublished from2000to2009 inWebofScience (WOS)databases suchasScienceCitationIndexExpanded(SCI-EXPANDED),SocialSciencesCitation Index (SSCI)andArts&HumanitiesCitationIndex(A&HCI),wereunderthescopeof this research.WOSdatabaseswere selectedasworldleadingscientificdatabases,indexingthetopjournalsinallareasofthesciences,socialsciences,andartsandhumanities[11].
A listof278searching termswasmadeup, includ-ingthenamesofdifferentMA&CS(e.g.,Judo,Karate,
Taekwondo),thevariednamesfoundforaspecificmar-tialart(e.g.,Tai Chi, Taichi, Tai Ji, Taiji, Taijiquan,etc.),andthedifferentgenericnamesusedforMA&CS(e.g.,Martial Arts,Fighting Arts,Martial Sports,Martial Ways,etc.),accordingtoMoreiro-Gonzalezsrecommendations[12].Thislistwascreatedfromdifferentsources,suchasGreenandSvinthsmartialartsencyclopaedia,Prez-GutirrezandGutirrez-GarcasMAbibliographyorBrakelsMAthesaurus[3,13,14].Also,newMA&CSnamesfoundwhilesearchingwereaddedtothelistofsearchingterms.

The same terms separated by a space or a hyphen (e.g., kick boxing and kick-boxing) have been gathered as WOS databases searching rules ignore hyphens (similarly other databases such as SportDiscus or Scopus). Also, WOS databases consider the word do as a stopword, so a MA or CS term and the same name followed by do have been also gathered (e.g., karate and karate-do).
