Author Guidelines
1. Aim and Scope
PhysioZine Magazine is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication dedicated to disseminating innovative research, case studies, and reviews in the field of physiotherapy. We aim to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice by providing insights into the latest trends, techniques, and evidence-based practices in physiotherapy. We welcome contributions from practitioners, researchers, and scholars across various related disciplines.
2. Editorial Process
A manuscript submitted to PhysioZine Magazine will be considered for publication on the condition that it is exclusively under review by our publication and has not been previously published, submitted elsewhere, or accepted for publication.
Upon submission, our editorial team evaluates all manuscripts. Those that lack originality, exhibit significant scientific or technical flaws, or fail to convey a meaningful contribution may be rejected prior to formal peer review. Manuscripts deemed suitable for publication will be sent to two or more expert reviewers.
Each manuscript is assigned to an editorial team member who will make the final decision based on reviewer feedback. The comments and recommendations (acceptance, rejection, or required revisions) from the reviewers will be communicated to the corresponding author. If necessary, authors may be asked to provide a detailed response to the reviewers' comments and submit a revised manuscript.
Accepted manuscripts will undergo copy editing for grammar, punctuation, style, and formatting. The entire process, from manuscript submission to final decision and proof approval, is conducted online and typically takes about 15 days to 1 month.
Please note that communication regarding manuscripts is restricted to the Editor-in-Chief and Editor only; other editorial team members are not permitted to engage with authors directly.
