Aims of JSIP

JSIP publishes articles of high quality, original research focused on clinical and research topics related to all specialities of medical science and topics which would have an association with physiotherapeutic methods and interventions. 

  • It provides a platform for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals to present their research, debate and discuss through a moderated comments by members of the editorial boards or subject experts.
  • For the research to reach the widest possible audience, the journal will be open access to all contents. The aim is to encourage and provide relevant research to students, clinicians, academicians and researchers.

It welcome studies in health services research, health economics, physiotherapy education and any other field that directly addresses patient outcomes or the practice and delivery of physiotherapy methods.  The research designs include qualitative research, quantitative research, mixed methods, review studies, case studies and case series, surveys, discussion papers and letters to the editor.

Our aim is to provide a home for all properly conducted physiotherapy research to be fully reported, after a rigorous and double blind peer review process.
