Publishing to advance and inform the profession : what can you publish?

Publications are one of the ways for professionals to develop, share, and advance knowledge. There are many different types of publications that support the development and advancement of music therapy as a profession. The editorial board of Music Therapy Today is dedicated to supporting students, clinicians, faculty and researchers in understanding the different types of manuscripts considered for publication. A student or clinician may think they don’t have anything to contribute for publication, however, it is important to challenge this misconception and recognize there are different types of publications that can be published. These publications help to increase the diversity of literature, and engage young professionals in building literature.
