Abstract
The New Zealand Journal of Physiotherapy (NZJP) is the official academic journal of Physiotherapy New Zealand. Its Honorary Editorial Committee is formed by a group of experienced physiotherapists who work clinically and/or in research and education. These committee members ensure the journal meets high publishing standards in line with other international academic journals, with the journal currently listed on SCOPUS. Published papers present contemporary research related to the science and practice of physiotherapy relevant to physiotherapists working within and outside of New Zealand.
This presentation aims to connect with clinicians, and emerging or experienced researchers who are considering submitting a manuscript to the journal for publication. We will showcase our new online platform (https://nzjp.org.nz/nzjp), discuss how dissemination of knowledge can contribute to advancing physiotherapy careers (e.g., advanced and specialist scope of practice), and provide an overview of key considerations (and tips) regarding content the editorial committee look for when evaluating an article. We welcome anyone with an interest in advancing physiotherapy knowledge and research in Aotearoa New Zealand, including those who would like to get involved as a reviewer.
