Occupational therapists and journal editors and reviewers are most likely to read and value the content of well‐written scientific papers. In this paper, the six problem areas most commonly found in manuscripts submitted to this journal are discussed: (i) following publication guidelines; (ii) using appropriate terminology; (ii) informing the reader of the source of the information; (iv) providing sufficient background literature; (v) analysing and synthesizing the literature adequately; and (vi) providing continuity of content. The solutions to these problems are also described.
