The Journal of Religion and Health (JORH) is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed academic journal. The journal was founded in 1961 by the Blanton-Peale Institute and published by Springer Science+Business Media. JORH seeks to publish contemporary quantitative and qualitative religious, pastoral and spiritual care research which utilizes current medical, psychological and sociological theories and praxis. A number of academic bibliometric analyses have noted JORH over the last decade which are publicly available (Lucchetti & Lucchetti, 2014; Senel & Demir, 2018; Demir, 2019; Cheng & Peng, 2024; Hdoge et al 2024; Abdelwahab et al 2024) the most extensive covering from 1961–2021 (Carey, Kumar, Goyle & Ali, 2023).^[1] Over the decades, while JORH has accepted a wide range of research, a notable distinction in comparison to other peer reviewed journals in the field, is the refusal of JORH from 2024 to consider religiosity/ spirituality research which has utilized potentially problematic contaminated scales (Koenig & Carey, 2024).
