Bulletin（会報）の記事募集停止
2022年8月末にフランス・パリで開催されたWFOT代表者会議において、投票の結果、WFOT会報の発行を委託しているTaylor & Francisとの契約を、2024年以降は更新延長しないことを決定しました。
これは、テクノロジーと様々なコミュニケーションツールが発展している現在、会報とは別の形で加盟協会・個人会員へ情報発信できるためです。
契約を更新しないものの、会報の発行にかけていた予算を他のコミュニケーション手段へ有効活用していきます。
この結果、会報への新規記事の募集は2022年12月1日をもって停止します。
At the Council Meeting 2022 held in Paris, the WFOT Council voted to discontinue its agreement with Taylor & Francis who currently publish the WFOT Bulletin.
Advances in technology and new ways of communicating have enabled WFOT to consider different ways to meet the original aims of the Bulletin.
Discontinuation of the publishing agreement with Taylor & Francis in 2024 will provide opportunity for WFOT to invest
in other forms of communication that better meets the needs of the Federation and the occupational therapy community.
As a result of this decision, new submissions for publication in the Bulletin will be suspended from the 1st December 2022.
Please contact us if you have questions, or visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the WFOT website.
We will continue to keep you informed as we work through the logistics of the discontinuation of the contract with Taylor & Francis.
