BJOT’s chief aim is to publish peer-reviewed articles with international relevance that advance knowledge in research, practice, education, and policy in occupational therapy so that researchers, practitioners and service users have strong evidence on which to base decisions.
The journal publishes evidence on the effectiveness, benefit, and value of occupational therapy as well as interdisciplinary and related research that is relevant to occupational therapy, worldwide.
The Editorial Board’s current strategy is to focus on internationally relevant research and reviews, in particular systematic reviews, on clinical and client areas, although submissions in all article types and areas are welcomed, as are proposals for topics for special issues.
