Helpful List of OT Journals

Avatar

  • Post date --> June 27, 2024

In this post, you’ll find a helpful list of occupational therapy journals. These will give you a taste of the breadth of OT research out there.

Occupational therapy is a holistic health profession. Which means the research that supports our care comes from many different disciplines. 

In this post, you’ll find a helpful list of occupational therapy journals. These will give you a taste of the breadth of OT research out there. We’ll begin with a list of journals that are specifically focused on OT. Then share our growing list of journals that publish research related to OTs. 

The journals with related research were pulled from our lists of the most influential OT research —and then featured in the OT Potential Club . (You’ll see below that this list includes some of the most prestigous peer-reviewed journals in healthcare!)

If you know of any OT journals we missed or would like to see them organized differently, please let us know in the comments!

A quick note on access:

It feels like more and more journal articles are getting moved out from behind paywalls, making them free to the general public.

Thank you so much for helping to develop young OTs

Thank you for this list! Another helpful resource would be a list of open-access OT or OT-related journals.
