About the journal

Rehabilitation Tomorrow publishes research that improves the lives of people living with injury, illness and disability.

Aims and scope

The journal welcomes original research, reviews and case reports across the rehabilitation sciences, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, sports rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation and assistive technology. Studies of outcomes, service delivery, education and community-based rehabilitation are equally welcome.

Every research manuscript is first checked by an editor for scope, originality and completeness. Suitable manuscripts are then sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the field.

Review is double-blind: reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

Based on the reviews, the editor accepts the manuscript, asks for revisions or declines it. Authors receive the reviewers’ comments with every decision, and revised manuscripts may be reviewed again.

All articles are open access: free to read, download and share immediately on publication, without registration or subscription.

The journal expects authors, reviewers and editors to follow recognised standards of publication ethics, such as the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

• Submitted work must be original and must not be under consideration elsewhere.
• Research involving people or animals must have appropriate ethical approval and consent.
• All authors must have contributed to the work and approved the submission.
• Conflicts of interest and sources of funding must be declared.
• Plagiarism, data fabrication and duplicate publication are not accepted.

Authors keep the copyright of their work and grant the journal the right of first publication. Articles may be shared and reused with proper attribution to the authors and the journal.
