- The Editorial Board has full and final approval over the content of all advertisements.
- Advertisers will never be shown any manuscripts or other content prior to publication.
It welcomes studies in health services research, health economics, physiotherapy education and any other field that directly addresses patient outcomes or the practice and delivery of physiotherapy methods. The research designs include qualitative research, quantitative research, mixed methods, review studies, case studies and case series, surveys, discussion papers and letters to the editor.
Our aim is to provide a home for all properly conducted physiotherapy research to be fully reported, after a rigorous and double-blind peer review process. Publishing procedures will eventually be continuous, publishing research online as soon as the article is ready. Print publishing will be available to subscribed members. Authors may be asked to pay article-publishing charges on acceptance; the ability to pay does not influence editorial decisions.
