Abstract
It is very likely that each and every occupational therapist has some information or knowledge worth publishing in a professional Journal. Many clinicians seem to assume that it is only researchers or academics who can write for publication. It may be that all that is preventing some clinicians form submitting their information or ideas for publication is a lack of knowledge about how to structure them. This article is intended as a rough guide and examines the title, the abstract, the introduction, the literature review, the discussion and the conclusion sections of a journal article. It does not deal with method or results as these belong to the structure of a research article, which will be dealt with separately. The article forms part of a symposium entitled ‘An introduction to Writing for Publication in Professional Journals’, prepared by the Editorial Board of BJOT.
