Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Rehabilitation Practice and Science (RPS), formerly entitled The Taiwan Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, is the official journal of the Taiwan Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. It has been continuously published since 1973.
Starting in 2023, the journal expanded its vision toward the international scientific community and began publishing all articles in English to reach and engage researchers around the world. RPS is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes two issues per year.
Beginning in 2025, the journal adopted an incremental publishing model, allowing accepted articles to be published online individually as soon as they complete production, without waiting for the full issue to be compiled. While this enhances the timeliness and visibility of published research, the journal continues to follow a biannual issue structure:
– Articles published from January to June are assigned to Issue 1, and
– Articles from July to December are assigned to Issue 2.
See the Aims and Scope for a complete coverage of the journal.
Current Issue: Volume 2025, Issue 2 (2025)
