AIM AND SCOPE
The Journal of Cancer Rehabilitation (JCR) is an international peer-reviewed, quarterly journal dedicated to publishing high quality research and other information that is relevant to advancing oncology care.
There has been consistent progress in extending survival for those diagnosed with cancer, and as such, quality of life has become an increasingly important part of oncology care. The need for evidence-based interdisciplinary cancer rehabilitation utilizing multimodal interventions and approaches has never been greater.
The JCR welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished articles which describe various aspects of clinical and/or translational research, in the field of cancer rehabilitation. Submissions may be focused on monodisciplinary and/or multidisciplinary approaches. Conventional rehabilitation interventions as well as novel therapies are encouraged. Topics may include, but are not limited to, neurologic, musculoskeletal, cognitive, speech/swallowing, bowel/bladder, sexuality, and psychological sequelae in active cancer patients and long-term survivors. Submissions related to partners and caregivers are also encouraged. Studies on integrative therapies, often called complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), such as acupuncture, massage, yoga, and others will also be considered. The journal also focuses on functional outcomes such as mobility as well as school, work and community participation.
The JCR provides a variety of types of submission styles (e.g., editorials, letters to the Editor, case reports, original papers, reviews, policy rehabilitation plans, clinical guidelines, comments and controversies). All content in the journal is aimed at identifying evidence-based interventions that will enhance patient outcomes and health-related quality of life. The journal also seeks to support the adoption and integration of science into clinical practice and report on important health policy issues as they relate to cancer rehabilitation.
PRELIMINARY ABSTRACTS PUBLICATION
JCR is pleased to offer authors the opportunity to preliminarily publish the Abstract of their manuscript on our website in the dedicated section.
The abstract will be published only on our website and will be visible under the heading "Pending Review" for the duration of the manuscript review period.
The abstract will be removed if the manuscript is not accepted for publication on JCR.
The abstract will instead be moved to the "Confirmed" section if the manuscript is accepted, until it is actually published.
EARLY-CAREER AND YOUNG INVESTIGATORS
The Journal of Cancer Rehabilitation (JCR) is now accepting submissions, and the Editorial Board would like to encourage early-career and young investigators to submit an article to the journal. As a special incentive for early-career and young investigators, and for a limited time, we will publish your article with a 30% discount if the lead author is under the age of 35.
