New journal has been established - JHRS on August 1st 2022

Dear readers,

Due to the lack of scientific publications in the area of health and rehabilitation sciences in Europe, especially in Central and Southeastern Europe we decide to establish new Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. The journal will fill the gap, inspire scientists to exchange knowledge and experience and contribute to the development of science and the profession, due to the increase in scientific connection. With this we will increase the awareness about health care, rehabilitation processes especially for people with disabilities. Our interest is to create a journal at the highest scientific level, which is why we look forward to the cooperation of research and academic institutions in these areas. The aim of the journal is to share and disseminate knowledge between all disciplines that work in the field of developmental diversities.

Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (JHRS) is a multidisciplinary, peer reviewed, scholarly, international, electronic journal established by the Alma Mater Europaea University - ECM from Slovenia. Macedonian Scientific Society for Autism is a co-publisher. The following articles will be considered for publication: original and review articles, short report, letters to the editor, clinical experiences, survey of cases, doctoral dissertations, master of arts, editorials, rapid communications and other contributions from all the fields of health sciences, rehabilitation sciences, disability studies, special education, psychology, social policy, and other related sciences.
