IFF Feldenkrais Research Journal: Seeking Articles and Volunteers

Call for Articles

After the success of the last volume of Volume 6 on arts and creative practice, the IFF Feldenkrais Research Journal was on pause during 2021 and 2022 due to the global Coronavirus pandemic. However as of May 2023 we are pleased to announce the publication of the first tranche of articles for Volume 7. 

Volume 7: General Volume: on the theme of Researching Diverse Applications. Articles can be submitted for Volume 7 until June 30, 2023. Thereafter we will continue to gather papers for Volume 8, and begin collection of articles for Volume 9. Articles are welcome which address with any aspect of research into the Feldenkrais Method and related ideas: research studies, hypothesis and theory, studies in progress, reviews, etc. See the Journal website for the Types of Articles we are interested in.

Volume 8: Special Volume: Approaches to Research. Hillel Braude, MD, PhD will be Guest Co-editor for this volume. What should we be researching, and how? We are seeking papers on research approaches and methodology as part of the ongoing discussion on how to study the Feldenkrais Method? See the announcement on the Journal website about this volume.

When to submit: You can submit anytime. We are making use of continuous online publication: submit an article and it will be published as the editorial and formatting process is finished – so later submissions will be accepted. We hope to have Volume 7 complete by December 2023, and Volume 8 articles starting to be published by April 2024 or earlier, and completed by the end of that year.

How to submit an article: For submission requirements, length of submission, format, etc. click on this link. You can submit through the FRJ website. While the review process of articles is blinded, part of the function of the FRJ is to support writing in our field – so if you have an article in mind, we invite you to get in touch with the Editors to discuss your ideas and suitability for publication in the FRJ.

Call for Volunteers
We are seeking volunteers to help out with a range of tasks: from reviewers for articles, to assistance with formatting, etc. If you have writing and editing, or computer skills, and are interested in ideas about the Feldenkrais Method and how we can research it, please write and we discuss how you could be involved.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or ideas.
