From idea to publication: A practical guide for writing and publishing in the field of rehabilitation psychology.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
PURPOSE/
objectivePublishing in peer-reviewed journals is an important part of professional life in rehabilitation psychology, yet early-career scholars and trainees often receive limited direct instruction in how to transform research ideas into publishable manuscripts. This article offers a practical, field-specific guide to support authors in developing, writing, and submitting their work. RESEARCH METHOD/
designDrawing on the author's experience as a researcher, mentor, and journal editor, the article integrates best practices from multiple sources including reporting standards and open science principles while tailoring advice to the unique values of rehabilitation psychology.
resultsThe article provides step-by-step guidance on structuring each section of a scientific article, from the introduction through the discussion, and includes metaorganizational tools. It also addresses important preparatory steps such as clarifying authorship, engaging mentors and collaborators, and adopting effective writing strategies. Practical recommendations are provided for selecting an appropriate journal; tailoring a manuscript to word and style requirements; and navigating peer review, revision, and rejection. Special attention is devoted to issues central to rehabilitation psychology, such as using respectful and inclusive language, precisely reporting demographic characteristics, describing stakeholder engagement, and considering positionality. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Together, these strategies provide a roadmap for trainees and early-career professionals, helping them publish work that is not only scientifically rigorous but also aligned with rehabilitation psychology's mission of advancing equity, inclusion, and meaningful clinical impact.
