Manuscript categories
JRN publishes the following contribution types:
ARTICLES
- Original Article
An original article is a full-length report of quality current research
within any field covered by the journal. In principle, it should provide a clear study aim, results, and theoretical
discussion based on the description of experiments and surveys.
- Review Article
A review article will usually be invited by the editors. Authors wishing
to submit a review article should send a brief outline to the editors before submission. It should focus on studies in
rehabilitation, explain primary research status and current problems, and discuss the significance of future studies.
REPORTS
- Brief Report
A brief report follows the same rigor and format of original articles and
communicates brief reports of data from an original research study. It includes preliminary studies which have a simple
research design or small sample size.
- Case Report
For case report, a publication of an original and/or interesting case report
which contributes to medical knowledge is encouraged. The case report should include an up-to-date review of previous
cases in the field.
NOTES
- Research Note
A research note shows the trial results of a new intervention method, an analysis
method, or a new technology. It also includes a replication study. Although not as much novelty is required as for an original
article or brief report, a clear purpose, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion are necessary.
- Clinical Note
A clinical note aims to accumulate clinical findings. It is not as strictly examined
as case reports but is a textualized clinical experience.
- Tutorial Note
A tutorial note is also in principle invited by the editors. This is an educational
commentary which expresses a personal opinion about existing research or methodology on a particular topic.
In principle, the received manuscript will be peer-reviewed by members of the editorial board and assigned to
specialty reviewers, or reviewers with appropriate expertise. As this is a blind review, the identity of the reviewers is not known
to the authors.
