Announcing the International
Journal of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork: Research,
Education, & Practice

The Massage Therapy Foundation is pleased
to announce the launch of
our new electronic journal, the
International Journal of Therapeutic
Massage & Bodywork: Research, Education, & Practice (IJTMB).
The IJTMB is the first
peer-reviewed scientific journal for the therapeutic
massage and bodywork profession,
and it will be available free of charge. It is
an indispensable tool 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, allowing the reader to access
articles online. This
approach allows for the dissemination of scientific
findings not only to professionals in the massage and
bodywork field but also to colleagues in related
disciplines and professions.
Currently, there are three principal
sections planned for the 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 IJTMB will be published quarterly
with an expected first-issue launch date in the
summer of 2008. It will be available at
