Research in human occupation is diverse and complex and requires unique approaches. Theoretical, ethical, and methodological coherence is essential to creating and sharing knowledge for societal change and transformation.
In November 2023, the Canadian Society for Occupational Science hosted a symposium focused on innovations in research methodologies in occupational science. Following on from that symposium, the Journal of Occupational Science is inviting submissions for a special issue based on papers presented at the symposium and welcoming new papers relevant to innovative and novel methodologies in occupational science.
We especially invite submissions on the following:
Research innovations in education in occupational science
Novel theoretical approaches and methodologies that advance the study of occupational science
Creative research design to enhance the impact of occupational science research in improving the well-being and life changes of individuals, groups, or collectives.
International contributions are encouraged, as well as those from authors at a range of career stages, from early career to more established writers. Authors are invited to present their abstract in both French and English.
