“…Ernest (1983) conducted a study of the publication trends of articles in the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy (CJOT) from 1968 to 1982. She found that CJOT reflected professional growth in the occupational therapy field in many areas, including the quantity of articles, types of articles, references, authors, and citations.…”

There are many occupational therapy journals being published internationally, but little information is available about their characteristics. The purpose of this study was to gather relevant information about these journals. Examined are the journals' characteristics, the audiences they serve, the review process they use, the staff they employ, and the types of articles they publish. The study design was a descriptive survey format using an adapted version of the Survey of Editors Regarding Publishing Practices. Questionnaires were mailed to all the national occupational therapy associations that were members of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (n=44) in September 1992. The response rate was 86.4% (n=38).The survey results indicated that a typical occupational therapy journal was published six times a year, with 84% of it being text and 15% of it being advertising. In terms of submission of manuscripts, the preferred average length was 14 pages using American Psychological Association format specifications. Respondents indicated that, on average, occupational therapy journals received 33 manuscripts a year for review, 20 of those being accepted for publication with minor revision, five needing major revision and eight being rejected. Most occupational therapy journals indicated that they were peer‐reviewed/refereed publications. The most frequently cited reasons for rejecting manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication were: (1) content inaccurate; (2) content not important/significant; (3) poorly developed ideas; (4) methodology problems; (5) data interpretation problems; or (6) a poorly written manuscript. Most manuscripts published in occupational therapy journals have a clinical focus in the area of physical medicine or mental health. Results of the survey study are discussed and recommendations for future research are made. Copyright © 1997 Whurr Publishers Ltd.

This paper examines two years (1982-1983) of publications appearing in four occupational therapy journals in order to determine the type and proportion of articles which are descriptive, survey, correlational, case studies (including single subject design), quasi-experimental, or practical. In addition, a detailed analysis of articles using single subject methodology in occupational therapy is reported. The appropriateness of several single subject research designs in occupational therapy is discussed.

“…Content and citation analysis is a common practice in the bibliometrics of occupational therapy. In the past, most of the content analysis was performed for specific OT journals such as the American Journal of Occupational Therapy (AJOT) (Ottenbacher and Short, 1982;Ottenbacher and Petersen, 1985), Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy (CJOT) (Ernest, 1983), Australian Occupational Therapy Journal (AOTJ) (Trevan-Hawke, 1986;Madill et al, 1989), British Journal of Occupational Therapy Journal (BJOT) (Cusick, 1995;Mountain 1997) and Occupational Therapy Journal of Research (OTJR) (G. T. Brown and Brown, 2005). Pearl et al (2014) evaluated and reported the content of five occupational therapy journals: AJOT, AOTJ, BJOT, CJOT, and the Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy (SJOT).…”

Background: Occupational therapy (OT) is one of the allied health professions, with its first journals in 1920. The main objective of this study was to find out the publication trend in the field of OT research for the period of 2001-2020 using the principles of bibliometrics and scientometrics. Methods: The data was retrieved from Scopus from the past 20 years (2001-2020). VOSviewer software was used to find year-wise publications in OT-specific and non-OT-specific Journals along with top journals, countries, organisations, authors, cited articles, and highly used keywords. Results: There was a steady growth of OT articles over the past 20 years. Scopus indexes 16 OT-specific journals are identified. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, British Journal of Occupational Therapy Journal, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy, and Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy are the leading publications and citations. A comparison of OT-specific and non-OT journals inferred that the OT-specific papers are three times more published in non-OT journals. There is a trend in publishing multidisciplinary medical journals than OT journals. The US publishes the most articles, followed by the UK, Australia, Canada, and Germany. Though the US alone produced a considerable number of articles (9517), only five organisations are listed in the top 20, compared to Canada (n=6) and Australia (n=5). Australia represents the highest number of published authors (n=11/20). Canada represents a highly cited author from the top-cited publications. The five common keywords used by OT-authors are "occupational therapy", “rehabilitation”, “stroke”, “physical therapy,” and “activities of daily living”. This study lists top-20 journals along with their CiteScore and Journal Impact Factor. Conclusions: This study will help the budding researchers in OT to select a suitable quality journal for publication and, further, helpful for research promotion, researcher incentivising, grant allocations, and policymakers in the OT field.
