Journals to explore (Peds)

These are just a few non-OT journals I have accessed through my university, so I cannot vouch that each would be available to the “public”. You might try through PubMed, or if you have access to a university library…

Journal of Child and Family Studies   “an international forum for topical issues pertaining to the mental well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. The journal translates the latest research results into practical applications for clinicians and healthcare practitioners, by addressing all facets of emotional disorders, including issues associated with identification, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention.”

Families, Systems, & Health  an APA publication “is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes clinical research, training, and theoretical contributions in the areas of families and health, with particular focus on collaborative family healthcare.”

Child: Care, Health & Development  “is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We publish quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health and child development. We aim to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues and are happy to publish both primary research and systematic reviews.”

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education  “Quarterly publication provides detals on childhood special education to program developers, advocates, researchers, & higher education faculty.”

 

Nurses have lots of journals, often targeted to specific populations or settings, that we need to be aware of as well.
