Starting in November 2025, AOSIS will begin using CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) authorship contribution statements for all new submissions and acceptances. Published articles reflecting CRediT statements will appear from 2026. Guidance is available under the Author Guidelines: Formatting Requirements, and all contributions should be disclosed in the Authorship, Disclosure Statements, Copyright, and License Agreement Form (Cover Letter) at submission or the Authorship Change Request Form. Following these guidelines ensures transparency, accountability, and integrity in the publication process.

We would like to recognize and thank the reviewers who helped ensure the high quality of the research published in Volume 81 of the South African Journal of Physiotherapy. Your contributions are invaluable! Your hard work not only improves the quality of the journal but also enriches the broader field of research. We hope to continue working with you in future volumes.
