Journal of Rehabilitation Guidelines for Publication
Journal of Rehabilitation Guidelines for Publication
The Journal of Rehabilitation is published quarterly, in February, May, August, and November. As a publication of the National Rehabilitation Association, its content reflects the broad perspectives of the Association’s membership.
Articles
Articles are written by professionals in the field of rehabilitation, and are peer-reviewed. They should present, describe, and discuss rehabilitation concepts and related research. They should also follow the style requirements of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt and, following preliminary review by the editor, are sent to members of the Editorial Review Boards for anonymous review. Each manuscript should contain a separate cover sheet with the manuscript title, the authors’ names, their degrees, affiliations and complete mailing addresses and phone numbers. An abstract of approximately 100 words should appear on page two providing a brief summary of content. The first page of the text should contain only the title, with the authors’ names omitted.
Upon review, manuscripts are either accepted, rejected or returned for revision. Approximately three months may elapse between the acknowledgment of receipt and notification of disposition. Accepted articles are usually published in the order of their receipt.
Authors should maintain the integrity of people with disabilities by avoiding language that equates people with their conditions, e.g. “the mentally ill.” They should instead employ terminology which emphasizes the individual, e.g. “people with mental illness.”
Manuscript Submission Requirements
Manuscripts should be original work not currently being considered by any other publishing source. Manuscripts must be submitted in hardcopy form on 8.5 x 11 in. paper as well as created in a word processor (preferably Microsoft Word). The manuscript should be saved to a PC compatible disk. Authors should remove any identifying information from the manuscript beyond the title page. Please mail cover letter, hardcopy manuscript, and disk to:

Production Requirements
- Manuscripts must be submitted in Times or other standard typeface. All manuscripts must be submitted on IBM PC compatible disks. Microsoft Word is preferred; however, any PC DOS word processing application is acceptable. * Mac users please ensure that files are saved as either MS-DOS or ASCII format.
* Please note that when the disk cannot be read, the manuscript must be scanned. This can lead to errors, as optical character recognition is not 100% accurate.
- All pages should be consecutively numbered by arabic numerals in the upper right corner.
- An original and two photocopies of each manuscript should be submitted. Copies should be clear, readable, and on paper of good quality. Authors should keep a copy in case of loss. Manuscripts should contain no handwriting.
Submissions which do not adhere to these guidelines will be returned. For further information regarding the Journal publishing process, contact:
