Abstract
High quality research is one of the foundations on which evidence-based occupational therapy is sustained. In this way, both reading and producing science allows us to take the best decisions about the most appropriate approaches to apply with our users. In recent years, the limitations and barriers faced by occupational therapists implementing an evidence-based occupational therapy in their daily practice have become obvious: a greater need for both methodological and biostatistics training, or the difficulty in analyzing the available literature. But there is a growing awareness of the existence of a gap between professional practice and research, which we hope will help to reduce this gap to offer society a practice based on the best available evidence.
