Instructions to Authors
General Information and Instructions to Authors
Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy (JGPT) is the official publication of the Section on Geriatrics of the American Physical Therapy Association. JGPT is published four times a year.
Topics of Interest
The journal’s Editorial Board invites submission of manuscripts addressing any clinical aspect of physical therapy care for older adults. Manuscripts may focus on health promotion/wellness care, risk factor abatement, examination and evaluation strategies, typical performance on clinical measures of well and impaired elders, efficacy of interventions to reduce risk and/or improve function in aging adults with activity restriction, research on movement dysfunction in later life, and theoretical models of examination/evaluation or care of older adults. The Editors will consider quantitative research reports (experimental, quasi-experimental, or descriptive), systematic reviews of the literature, qualitative studies, case reports, and special interest papers.
The Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy endorses the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). These guidelines aimed at insuring “transparency” in the design and reporting of research. Authors who use the checklist in preparing their work and include the flow chart in their manuscript on submission can be more confident that their work will qualify for the review process. Authors are strongly encouraged to include both a flow sheet and the appropriate checklist when submitting their manuscript for review. These two documents will be required beginning July 1, 2011.
Manuscript Categories
Quantitative Research Reports: Research on a topic of interest for aging adults. The abstract and manuscript should include the following headings: introduction (background), purpose, methods, results, discussion and conclusion. A statement that indicates that the rights of human and/or animal subjects were protected must be included in the text. When significance tests have been used, actual P values (to 2 decimal places) should be reported.
Systematic Reviews: A balanced and unbiased synthesis of evidence related to a defined clinical question. This type of article applies a systematic approach to exploring current evidence in the literature, assessing the strength of evidence, synthesizing the findings of individual studies, and interpreting the results. Authors should use the PRISMA Statement: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (http://www.prisma-statement.org).
Qualitative Studies: Exploration of phenomena or experiences using semi-structured methods such as in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observation, enthography, and textual analysis to understand human behavior by exploring beliefs, experiences, behaviors, attitudes, and interactions that might explain findings. Headings in the manuscript should include Introduction (Background), Objectives (Purpose), Design, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Authors should use the Qualres Guidelines (Qualitative Research Guidelines Project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) available at http://www.qualres.org/HomeGuid-3935.html
Case Report or Case Series: Reports of the examination and intervention of an individual or small group of aging adults who are receiving physical therapy for movement dysfunction. Case reports must systematically describe patient history, review of systems, examination strategies and findings, evaluation, physical therapy diagnosis, physical therapy prognosis and goals, and physical therapy intervention and outcomes of those interventions. Each component must include discussion of clinical decision-making in selection of measures, interpretation of results and selection of intervention. Case reports do not test hypotheses, establish causal relationships, or demonstrate effectiveness. For a case series, information pertinent to the planning of a larger research study (e.g., effect size) is encouraged.
At this time, there is no international consensus on guidelines for case reports or case series. We encourage authors of case reports or case series (whether a traditional “full” report, or specifically focused on diagnosis, prognosis, clinical measurement, application of theory to practice, risk management, or administrative or educational processes) to use the guidelines developed by Physical Therapy, available at http://ptjournal.apta.org/site/misc/ifora_case_reports.xhtml
Special Interest Papers: Topics of special interest to physical therapy care of aging adults, including---but not limited to---topical reviews, theoretical perspectives, reviews of techniques, equipment, or instructional materials. Consult with the Editor prior to submission.
Conflicts of interest and Copyright Transfer
Authors must state all possible conflicts of interest in the Title Page of the manuscript, including financial, consultant, institutional and other relationships that might lead to bias or a conflict of interest. If there is no conflict of interest, this should also be explicitly stated as none declared. All sources of funding should be acknowledged in the Title Page of the manuscript. All relevant conflicts of interest and sources of funding should be included on the title page of the manuscript with the heading “Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding:”.
For example:
Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding: A has received honoraria from Company Z. B is currently receiving a grant (#12345) from Organization Y, and is on the speaker’s bureau for Organization X – the CME organizers for Company A. For the remaining authors none were declared.
In addition, each author must complete and submit the journal’s copyright transfer agreement,which includes a section on the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest based on the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals
