Note from the AJOT Editor-in-Chief: Since 2010, the American Journal of
Occupational Therapy (AJOT) has adopted reporting standards based on the
Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement and American
Psychological Association (APA) guidelines in an effort to publish transparent
clinical research that can be easily evaluated for methodological and analytical
rigor (APA Publications and Communications Board Working Group on Journal Article
Reporting Standards, 2008; Moher, Schulz, & Altman, 2001). AJOT has now joined 28
other major rehabilitation and disability journals in a collaborative initiative
to enhance clinical research reporting standards through adoption of the EQUATOR
Network reporting guidelines, described below. Authors will now be required to
use these guidelines in the preparation of manuscripts that will be submitted to
AJOT. Reviewers will also use these guidelines to evaluate the quality and rigor
of all AJOT submissions. By adopting these standards we hope to further enhance
the quality and clinical applicability of articles to our readers.
