The variety of human functioning and rehabilitation research makes it
difficult to overview the whole area with respect to journals, societies and
conferences of potential relevance to a research question in focus. The objective
of this paper is thus to provide an outline of scientific journals, societies and
conferences of major relevance to human functioning and rehabilitation research.
METHODS: A systematic search for journals relevant to human functioning and
rehabilitation research was performed. The resulting journal list was used to
identify affiliated societies and conferences. In addition, an informal expert
survey was conducted for the identification of further relevant societies,
conferences and additional journals. RESULTS: A total of 6416 journal articles
referring to human functioning and rehabilitation research were identified and
analysed. A total of 231 journals, 153 societies and 115 conferences relevant to
human functioning and rehabilitation research were selected from the systematic
search and the informal expert survey. The societies and conferences are
published via the website of this journal. CONCLUSION: The list of journals
presented will be of use to scientists entering human functioning and
rehabilitation research or engaging in an interdisciplinary perspective. It may
serve as an initial guide for identifying possibilities for the submission of
publications, sources of scientific information and platforms for the scientific
exchange and discourse.
