Rehab open access articles

Continuing our series on getting access to peer-reviewed journals when we are outside a university subscription system (read more here), this time we consider a few journals helpful to those of us who specialise in the rehabilitation and disability career field: encompassing conditions such as Autism, ADHD, and depression; short-and long-term injury rehabilitation; types of rehabilitation programmes and schemes; disability support, impairment, metrics, etc.

• Firstly there is the Journal of Education and Rehabilitation, or JER. This is official journal of the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation for the University of Tuzla, with all articles being fully accessible here. This journal covers all aspects of rehabilitation, with career development being a relatively minor component.
• Disabilities explores a broad range of areas, including controlled trials; case studies; feasibility and pilot studies; novel approaches to disability, support and innovations; and transnational disability studies. This journal too is fully open access, here.
• Next we consider the Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine journal, or HSRM, also completely open access, found here. This journal is a bit patchy for quality, usually from Eastern European, junior researchers, but the sports rehabilitation articles can be quite interesting.
• We now turn to Disability, CBR and Inclusive Development, or DCID. This journal too is completely open access (here). The journal is hosted by the University of Gondar in Ethiopia, which teaches community-based rehabilitation. 
• The next cab off the rank is the Developmental Disabilities Network Journal, or DDNJ. This journal too is fully open access (here), and focuses on pre-service preparation, advocacy, research, community services, and info sharing between clients with developmental disabilities and their whanau.
