History of OTJR

Published by SLACK Incorporated for
AOTF

In 1965, the American Occupational Therapy Foundation, Inc. was chartered as a charitable, scientific, literary and educational society to "advance the science of occupational therapy and increase the public knowledge and understanding thereof." In 1980, AOTF established The Occupational Therapy Journal of Research (OTJR) as an expression of the Foundation's commitment to promoting scientific inquiry through the publication of research. In 2001, the journal's name changed to OTJR: Occupation, Participation and Health to better signify the Foundation's commitment to the study occupation as it enables the important outcomes of participation and health.
