Clarifying differences and exploring opportunities for collaboration between CJOT and OT Now

The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) has two platforms for publishing articles, the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy (CJOT)—its peer-reviewed journal— and Occupational Therapy Now (OT Now)—its practice magazine. Together, these publications provide CAOT’s membership and global readership with forward-thinking articles covering the current breadth of, as well as newly developing possibilities for, occupational therapy practice relevant to the Canadian context. Over the past few years, the editorial boards for CJOT and OT Now have discussed ways of creating opportunities for collaboration by leveraging, to their full potential, the opportunities provided by the scope and the nature of production of each publication. With the two publications evolving constantly in response to dynamic practice and publishing landscapes, this editorial is focused on describing the current scope of each publication, their similarities and differences, and the opportunities for collaboration in the promotion of evidence-based, occupation-based practice.
