Introducing a new department in the Australian Occupational Therapy Journal : Critically Appraised Papers or CAPs. This department arose from a demand for critical appraisal of relevant research literature to keep occupational therapists up‐to‐date with advances related to practice. The broad aim is to publish two CAPs on a theme; one an RCT or systematic review, the other qualitative research. Each CAP will consist of a structured abstract of the content of the research and a commentary completed by an expert in the field. The commentary will critically appraise the research, place it in context with existing research and discuss practice implications.
