Journal of Applied Arts and Health

Aims & Scope

This double-blind peer-reviewed journal provides artists, researchers, practitioners, healthcare professionals, educators, therapists and policymakers opportunities to particularly report and reflect upon art-based research practices that distinctly emphasise art as the mode of inquiry including art as the evidence of that inquiry.

The Journal of Applied Arts and Health (JAAH) discourages research studies that are predominantly non-artistic in nature.

JAAH provides a vehicle for high quality research and forward-thinking scholarly activity embracing multifaceted understandings of aesthetic modes of engagement.

Contributors include eminent and experienced workers and scholars in the field, but JAAH strongly encourages cutting-edge contemporary and experimental work from emerging practitioners.

JAAH provides a prominent platform for artistic research in addressing the art as evidence base in applied arts and health.

The journal embraces contributions of an international dimension.
