On June 25 2019, the Open Access Journal went online. The new "GMS Journal of Arts Therapies – Journal of Art-, Music-, Dance-, Drama- and Poetry-Therapy" is edited by the German Scientific Association for Creative Arts Therapies (Wissenschaftlichen Fachgesellschaft für Künstlerische Therapien, WFKT).

With GMS Journal of Arts Therapies original publications and reviews devoted to all aspects of creative arts therapies will be quickly available in open access to interested readers following the successful completion of the review process.

The contributions appear in German or English. Further, a bilingual publication is also possible. Authors are encouraged to consider GMS Journal of Arts Therapies for submission of their work for peer review.

The availability of original scientific papers in open access at GMS is of great interest to all members of the WFKT. The initiators of this project look forward to a broad public attention and an active participation.

GMS Journal of Arts Therapies is published by German Medical Science, the Open Access portal in cooperation with AWMF, DIMDI and ZB MED. Scientific journals, congress abstracts and so-called “Living Handbooks” are published on the portal.
