The aim of the journal is to be a leader in the dissemination of scholarship and evidence to substantiate, influence and shape policy, systems, and occupational therapy practice locally and globally. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical papers, and reviews. Preference will be given to manuscripts that have a sound theoretical basis, methodological rigour with sufficient scope and scale to make important new contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge. The journal values research and manuscripts that include consumers as partners and/or co-researchers. AOTJ does not publish protocols for any study design.

The journal will consider multidisciplinary or interprofessional studies that include occupational therapy, occupational therapists or occupational therapy students, so long as ‘key points’ highlight the specific implications for occupational therapy, occupational therapists and/or occupational therapy students and/or consumers.
