Abstract: Objective: The variety of human functioning and rehabilitation 
research makes it difficult to overview the whole area with respect to 
journals, societies and conferences of potential relevance to a research 
question in focus. The objective of this paper is thus to provide an 
outline of scientific journals, societies and conferences of major 
relevance to human functioning and rehabilitation research.

Methods: Asystematic search for journals relevant to human functioning and 
rehabilitation research was performed. The resulting journal list was used 
to identify affiliated societies and conferences. In addition, an informal 
expert survey was conducted for the identification of further relevant 
societies, conferences and additional journals.

Results: A total of 6416 journal articles referring to human functioning 
and rehabilitation research were identified and analysed. A total of 231 
journals, 153 societies and 115 conferences relevant to human functioning 
and rehabilitation research were selected from the systematic search and 
the informal expert survey. The societies and conferences are published 
via the website of this journal.
Conclusion: The list of journals presented will be of use to scientists 
entering human functioning and rehabilitation research or engaging in an 
interdisciplinary perspective. It may serve as an initial guide for 
identifying possibilities for the submission of publications, sources of 
scientific information and platforms for the scientific exchange and 
discourse.
