Journal of Medical Biofeedback
The Journal of Medical Biofeedback has merged with the new International Medical Journal for Natural Therapies (IMJNT). Like the JMB, the IMJNT is a high quality peer reviewed journal. The IMJNT has the same mission of providing a publishing venue for well-documented articles presenting original research in the natural healthcare field, but has a wider scope of interest and will cover all forms of natural therapy. The senior editors for the Journal of Medical Biofeedback are Drs. Eric Braverman, Susan Lark, Keith Scott-Mumby and C. Norman Sheeley. For a listing of editors and peer reviewers see the Journal Editorial Board.
Members of IMANT, MBACB, TNTANA, and BANA are encouraged to write research papers for possible publication. The research must describe how a natural therapy modality impacted a specific issue within the scope of practice defined by the license of the author. Double blind studies are not required. A.B.A. studies are encouraged. Multiple authors are encouraged for more controversial issues and uses of natural therapies. The Author Guidelines for additional information.
