IJTMBL:
Developing a Peer-reviewed, Online, Open-access Journal
About IJTMB:
The IJTMB is an online, peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal for
the therapeutic massage and bodywork profession, and is
available free of subscription fees and contributing
author charges. It's an indispensable resource for
members of the massage and bodywork profession as well
as for related health-care professionals.
The IJTMB takes an open access approach to scholarly
publishing, thereby allowing reader access to articles
online. This approach provides for the dissemination of
scientific findings not only to professionals in the
massage and bodywork field but also to colleagues in
associated disciplines and professions.
Currently, there are three principal
sections in IJTMB:
-
Research – An opportunity for the dissemination of
original quantitative, qualitative, and integrative
research papers.
-
Education – A forum for massage and bodywork educators
on topics such as curriculum development,
instructional design/delivery, instructional
technology, distance learning, and testing/evaluative
procedures.
-
Practice – A venue for practitioners to stay
up-to-date on issues such as planning, marketing,
managing and evaluating a successful practice;
incorporation of new scientific findings and methods
into clinical practice; new clinical approaches to
prevention and treatment of specific health
conditions; and ethical issues.
The first issue launched in August 2008. In 2009, the journal’s
quarterly issues will appear in March, June, September,
and December. The IJTMB is available at
www.ijtmb.org.
