Journal of Applied Arts & Health (JAAH)

This international peer-reviewed journal intends to serve a wide global community of artists, researchers, practitioners, healthcare professionals, educators, therapists and policymakers profiling the effectiveness of art as the mode of inquiry and evidence (art-based research) within the interdisciplinary areas of arts in health and arts for health. It provides a forum for publication and debate of arts in health care and health promotion. The journal defines ‘health’ broadly to include physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational, social and community health. Journal of Applied Arts & Health (JAAH) is the preeminent international academic journal representing research interests that focus on the interplay between arts and health. The journal’s remit is art-based research. Research articles for peer review should seek to emphasize art as the mode of inquiry when applying art forms to health practices and be grounded in the relevant literature. JAAH encourages the use of art as research in providing an evidence base and discourages research studies that are predominantly non-artistic in nature. More specifically, we require authors to have the art processes speak more predominantly in their submissions (e.g. illustrations of various forms of artistic expression versus reductive tables with numbers). Our readers want to know about the artwork that was done and the participants’ experience in their own words (be those verbal or non-verbally expressed authentically in art).
