British Journal of Occupational Therapy: Composition and Authorship Patterns 1975–1984

Judith Trevan-Hawke

Abstract: A 10-year analysis of the British Journal of Occupational Therapy was performed to investigate structural characteristics, authorship patterns and topics of most concern. The results of the survey showed that the journal had increased both in size and in the number of articles published per annum. There was an increase in the use of references from 2.5 to 6.5 per article, and single clinical authors wrote 63% of the articles. The topic of most concern continued to be physical occupational therapy, with the sub… Show more

Due to the increasing pressure on occupational therapists to become more research orientated, there is a need for students and clinicians to be more aware of information resources open to them. This article identifies the main written resources available to therapists in the United Kingdom and suggests practical ways of utilising them. Material covered includes books, journals, information packages, and indexing and abstracting sources.

Background: Occupational therapy (OT) is one of the allied health professions that had its first journals way back in 1920. The main objective of this study was to find out the publication trend in the field of OT research for the period of 2001-2020 using the principles of bibliometrics and scientometrics. Methods: The data was retrieved from Scopus from the past 20-years (2001-2020). VOSviewer software was used to find year-wise publications in OT-specific and non-OT-specific Journals along with top journals, countries, organisations, authors, cited articles, and highly used keywords. Results: There was a steady growth of OT articles from the past 20-years. Scopus indexes 16 OT-specific journals are identified. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, British Journal of Occupational Therapy Journal, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy and Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy are the leading publications and citations. Comparison of OT-specific and non-OT journals inferred that the OT-specific papers are three times more published in non-OT journals. There is a trend in publishing multidisciplinary medical journals than OT journals. The US publishes the highest number of articles, followed by the UK, Australia, Canada, and Germany. Though the US alone produced a considerable number of articles (9517), only five organisations are listed in the top-20, compared to Canada (n=6) and Australia (n=5). Australia represents the highest published authors (n=11/20), and Canada represents a highly cited author from the top-cited publications. The “occupational therapy”, “rehabilitation”, “stroke”, “physical therapy,” and “activities of daily living” are the five common keywords used by OT authors. This study lists top-20 journals along with their CiteScore and Journal Impact Factor. Conclusions: This study will help the budding researchers in OT to select a suitable quality journal for publication and, further, helpful for research promotion, researcher incentivising, grant allocations, and policymakers in the OT field.
