Abstract

 The aim of this review paper was to highlight the role played by physiotherapy/ physical therapy (PT) journals through a preliminary search of PubMed to summarize the studies on analysis of reporting among PT journals. There were two studies on trial registration policies of journals, and seven studies performed content analysis of published articles: two for study design (randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical trials), three for types of published articles, one for core literature, one for gerontology and one for bibliometrics. There is a dearth need to produce more such reports of PT journals and their performance trend along disease-specific, treatment-specific, outcome-specific, population-specific and evidence-specific constructs in the future. 

Keywords: Evidence-Informed Physical Therapy; Scientific Contribution; Publishing Policies; Critical Appraisal.
