GUIDE TO CONTRIBUTORS
The Journal of Occupational Science is a refereed journal which publishes articles promoting the study of humans as occupational beings (occupation referring to all purposeful activity). The notes below are intended as a brief guide for contributors. The editorial team are able to provide additional information. Please don't hesitate to make contact.
Feature Articles (Discussion papers, qualitative and quantitative research).
Articles of up to 7,000 words on widely different topics related to human occupation are welcomed, from anthropologists, ethnologists, human geographers, occupational scientists and therapists, psychologists, sociologists, and social biologists; any discipline, in fact, which has a humanistic view and could contribute to the study of occupation.
On the title page, provide the following: Title, Author(s) name, Abstract, 3-5 key words, Author qualifications and affiliation, Address for correspondence (email and postal).
Artwork for figures, diagrams and electronic photographs must be a minimum of 300dpi. Submit figures and diagrams in separate files in the programme in which they were generated. Do not paste figures, diagrams or photographs into word documents.
Comment
Comments are short articles of 2,000 to 3,000 words, which may include reflection, discussion, or debate about ideas or issues relevant to human occupation. The guidelines established for feature articles should be followed.
Occupational Terminology
Brief as well as longer discussions of terminology relevant to or being developed by occupational scientists, exploring the emergence, development, differences in interpretation or application, empirical evidence for and proposed research directions of the terms presented. The intention is to create an archive of current understandings, and to promote debate and development of key concepts. Follow the guidelines established for feature articles and other general manuscript information provided in the Guide to Contributors. Submit your manuscript to primrose.lentin@monash.edu.
Occupational Profile
Profiles generally take the form of a verbatim interview (edited to conform to JOS language and content standards) with a person with an interesting occupational history. Profiles address factors that have influenced the person's occupational opportunities, choices and outcomes. Photo essays and other creative means of conveying an occupational profile will be considered. A high quality photo of the author and the person profiled are required.
