A new journal, Spine Rehabilitation, is now calling for paper submissions.
According to the publishers, the aim and scope of Spine Rehabilitation is a commitment "... to an understanding of conservative care as the primary model for treatment of spinal disorders. Articles providing clinical evidence research on care and treatment of spine and back problems are appropriate for the journal. The range of discussion will include orthopedic, neurologic, physical, occupational, psychological, psychiatric, chiropractic, and multidisciplinary treatment approaches to patient care."
The publishers also announced that data-based reports of prospective or retrospective case studies and empirical reports of programmatic work will be given a priority in publication. Review articles synthesizing results of multiple clinical studies will be solicited and single case studies are also welcome. Letters to the editor and comments on previously published articles are also invited.
Original, double-spaced papers and manuscripts, with no more than six authors listed, may be sent to:
