Journal of Physiotherapy is the official journal of the Australian Physiotherapy Association. The journal's mission is to publish the highest quality research with the most important impact for global physiotherapy practice (also known as physical therapy). Our vision is to lead the field in assisting clinicians to access, understand and implement research evidence that will positively impact person-centred care.
In January 2008 Journal of Physiotherapy became the first physiotherapy journal to conform to the ICMJE requirement wherein randomised trials are registered with a recognised Trial Registry.
The journal prioritises systematic reviews and reports of clinical trials, economic analyses, experimental studies, qualitative studies, epidemiological studies, and observational studies.
In January 2014 the journal became the first core physiotherapy / physical therapy journal to make Editorials and peer-reviewed original research freely-available.
In 2016 the APA extended their support of excellence in physiotherapy practice by sponsoring Open Access publication of all Journal of Physiotherapy content. All past, present and future journal articles are therefore freely accessible. There are no author fees for publication.
