How many hours are awarded for authoring an article in a non-refereed journal?

Authoring an article in a non-refereed journal typically awards a total of 5 hours of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in Nebraska. This recognition aligns with the understanding of contributions to the field of physical therapy, even in non-refereed contexts, where sharing knowledge and research is beneficial.

The rationale for awarding this specific amount of time is based on the potential significance and effort involved in writing and publishing an article, which reflects an individual's commitment to advancing professional knowledge. It signifies that the author has engaged in a meaningful way with professional development, even if the article did not undergo the rigorous peer-review process characteristic of refereed journals. This approach encourages practitioners to share insights and foster discourse in various formats, supporting continuous learning and engagement within the profession.
