Review articles
The journal accepts systematic reviews or meta-analyses of new and updated assessments and interventions in occupational therapy. These should aim to provide the reader with a balanced overview of an important and topical subject in the field, and should be systematic, critical assessments of literature and data sources. They should cover aspects of a topic in which scientific consensus exists as well as aspects that remain controversial and are the subject of ongoing scientific research. All articles and data sources should be selected systematically for inclusion in the review and critically evaluated.
Typical length: not more than 4000 words (including abstract), there should be no more than 5 tables or figures and not more than 50 references.
Research papers
The journal welcomes studies about occupational therapy instrument development and testing, surveillances of occupational dysfunction, occupational science, occupational therapy theory and professional model development, occupational therapy education, efficacy and effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions in the form of preliminary single group studies to multicentre randomized controlled trials, as well as translational science research in rehabilitation.
In general, section headings should be: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, , Conclusion, Declarations, References.
The Introduction should provide a brief background to the subject of the paper, explain the importance of the study, and state a precise study question or purpose.
The Methods section should describe the study design and methods (including the study setting and dates, patient samples or animal specimens used, with inclusion and exclusion criteria, ethical approval and issue, the laboratory methods followed, or data sources and how these were selected for the study, the essential features of any interventions, the main outcome measures), and state the statistical procedures employed in the research.
The Results section should comprise the study results presented in a logical sequence, supplemented with tables and/or figures. Take care that the text does not repeat data that are presented in the tables and/or figures.
The Discussion section should be used to emphasize the new and important aspects of the study, placing the results in context with published literature, the implications of the findings, limitations of the study, and the conclusions that follow from the study results.
Typical length: not more than 4000 words (including abstract), and not more than 40 references. There should be no more than 6 tables or figures.
