The
SMJ is interested in publishing a series of articles on various forms of alternative therapies; to include art therapy, music therapy, and various forms of exercise therapy. The articles should be scientifically based, research oriented, and should focus on the aspects of the therapy that enhance the overall medical health of the patient. As our primary audience consists of internal medicine physicians and other primary healthcare providers, we would like the manuscripts to be of practical use to the clinician. In other words, how can primary care clinicians help their patients utilize these types of arts-centered and body-centered therapies to improve their medical health?
As we are a peer-reviewed journal, all of the manuscripts will be sent for review, and therefore, publication can not be guaranteed. Additionally, the manuscripts should not exceed 3000 words (including references). Our Instructions for Authors may be viewed on the home page, under the
For Authors tab. Please feel free to contact the editorial office at
smjedit@etsu.edu if you have any questions.
