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. Several 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), the most extensive covering from 1961–2021 (Carey, Kumar, Goyle & Ali, 2023). Over the decades, while JORH has accepted a wide range of research, a notable distinction in comparison to other peer reviewed journals, is the refusal of JORH from 2024 to consider religiosity/ spirituality research which has utilized potentially problematic contaminated scales (Koenig & Carey, 2024).
