Back to ToC Purpose Editorial mission The editorial mission of Nursing Research is to report scientific research findings that advance understanding of all aspects of health. Research across the spectrum of biological, behavioral, psychosocial, and spiritual factors in health is published. Research that investigates links across scales of bio-social organization, from cells to society, is welcome. Nursing intervention and outcome research is a critical aspect of the editorial focus of Nursing Research. Basic, translational, and clinical research is published. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Nursing Research strives to publish papers that take advantage of advances in methodology. For that reason, papers describing or illustrating advances in methodological techniques and approaches relevant to nursing research are welcome. Nursing Research is a peer reviewed, double-blind journal.[AS3] Article types considered
Original Articles are reports of empirical findings from the highest quality basic and clinical research studies within the scope of the editorial focus of the journal. Findings from studies utilizing diverse approaches are relevant, including: qualitative methods; measurement including development and evaluation of instrumentation; observational, quasi-experimental, and experimental studies (randomized clinical trials [RCTs]); e-science, information-based studies; and mixed method designs.
Methods papers are articles that describe application of advancing methodologies in nursing research or that describe advances in methodology motivated by challenges of nursing research. Methods submissions may include secondary analysis that uses innovative, leading edge approaches or approaches to overcome problems
in data management or analysis. Papers may be prepared as full-length articles or brief reports and may address quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods advances.
Letters to the editor are comments arising from published papers. Letters will be shared with authors. Letters and responses receive editorial review only. Select letters and responses may be accepted for publication. Letters and responses are limited to 450 words. Letters and responses may be edited. Article types not considered Stand-alone theory papers are not reviewed or published. Papers about nursing education are not published except when focused on nursing scientist career development, as noted above. Integrative reviews are not published except as part of the Biology Review series (see special calls, below). Special calls and ongoing series Special calls for papers and ongoing series identify areas of nursing science of current priority for publication. If you would you're your manuscript to considered for one of the special calls/series, please make a note of this in your cover letter. Information is posted on the Calls for Papers tab on the Nursing Research homepage at: http://journals.lww.com/nursingresearchonline/Pages/callforpapers.aspx Clinical Trials must be registered To be considered for peer review, clinical trials must have been registered before enrollment of the first participant. The NIH defines a clinical trial as a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes. health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes. This requirement applies to all clinical trials. Registration is also required for consideration of brief reports describing protocols for full-scale RCTs. Reports of findings from unregistered clinical trials will be returned and will not be peer reviewed. Trials should be registered on acceptable databases listed at one of these sites: WHO - http://www.who.int/ictrp/network/primary/en/index.html CLINICALTRIALS.GOV -https://clinicaltrials.gov/ Include the registry and trial number on the title page document of the manuscript and in response to the Author Questionnaire item about clinical trial registration. For more information, see ICMJE/Clinical Trial Registration at: http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-and-editorial-issues/clinical-trial-registration.html Queries preceding submission The Editor welcomes manuscripts of relevance and interest to research in nursing. It is advisable (but not required) to precede submission with an email message of inquiry. Queries allow the Editor to indicate interest in, and give developmental advice on, manuscript ideas. Send queries to the Editor at [email protected] Please attach a structured abstract, including draft title. Peer Review Nursing Research is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. Back to ToC Ethical and legal considerations Nursing Research strives for the highest ethical standards in editorial and publishing conduct. To that end, Nursing Research is a member of the Committee for Publication Ethics (COPE). Nursing Research follows the ethical and legal standards outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) and reporting of Conflicts of Interest as outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Every effort is made to ensure the validity and integrity of published papers, but final responsibility for the content rests with authors, not Nursing Research, its editors, reviewers, or the publisher. Manuscript originality Manuscripts submitted for consideration must be original. This means that:
Overlap with other manuscripts Nursing Research uses plagiarism detection software. The editors also consult publication databases to obtain related papers needed to assess originality of a submission. Supplementary, secondary, or related papers based on the same project may be justified in some circumstances. Authors must make relevant information available to the Editor so that an informed judgement about whether the new information in a related paper is adequate to justify publication can be made. Individual papers must make independent contributions to the literature and care must be taken to ensure that overlapping papers do not interfere with clarity of communication in the wider literature. The Editor must be alerted whenever a paper is based on a dataset or subset of it that is also used for other published papers or papers under review. Complete citation information must be provided to the Editor. At the discretion of authors, citation information on the reference list may be redacted for blind peer review. Discovery of failure of the authors to inform the editor of overlapping papers may result in rejection without further consideration. Preprints Policy We do not consider these unrefereed manuscripts posted by an author on a preprint server to be a prior publication, provided that the following conditions are met: (a) during submission, authors must acknowledge to have placed a version of the manuscript on a preprint server deposition and provide any associated accession numbers or DOIs (digital object identifier); (b) versions of a
manuscript that have been altered as a result of the peer review process may not be deposited; (c) the preprint version itself cannot have been indexed in MEDLINE or PubMed; (d) upon publication, authors are responsible for updating the archived preprint with a DOI and link to the published version of the article. Protection of rights of human participants in research and animal care ethics Authors must provide assurance that standards for the ethical conduct of research have been followed. Procedures for the protection of the rights and dignity of human participants should be described. Regulatory and ethical considerations in the use and care of animals in research must be addressed. Research practices and procedures must be such that biosafety hazards are prevented. An explicit statement should be made in the Methods section of the paper, and in the cover letter, affirming the status of the protocol following review by the ethical board with responsibility for overseeing research protection of human subjects, use and care of animals, and ensuring biosafety in research, as applicable. In all experiments involving human subjects, it should be documented that informed consent was obtained from the participants and that an institutional human research committee had approved the investigations. This should be clearly stated in the Methods section of the manuscript. Authorship All individuals listed in the by-line of any type of article must fully meet criteria for authorship. Individuals making other contributions should be identified in the acknowledgements. Consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) or the ICMJE for details. We require that all authors meet the following 4 criteria:
The corresponding author will be asked to provide detailed information about the authorship contributions of individuals named in the by-line at the time of submission. Any changes in the authorship (author added, author removed, change in order of authorship) at any time during the review process must be approved in writing by all authors listed on any version of the paper. Conflicts of interest Authors must state all possible conflicts of interest in the manuscript, including financial, consultant, institutional and other relationships that might lead to bias or a conflict of interest. If there is no conflict of interest, this should also be explicitly stated as none declared. All sources of funding should be acknowledged in the manuscript. All relevant conflicts of interest and sources of funding should be included on the title page of the manuscript with the heading "Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding." In addition, each author must complete and submit the Conflicts of Interest and Copyright Transfer Agreement sections on the journal's Author Questionnaire. The disclosure of potential conflicts of interest questions are based on the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/author-responsibilities--conflicts-of-interest.html) A copy of the form is made available to the corresponding author during the Editorial Manager submission process. Co-authors will automatically receive an e-mail with instructions on completing the form upon submission. Copyright and permission for reuse of copyright-protected material It is the responsibility of the author to obtain permission for use of material owned by others such as copyrighted material: tables, charts, forms, figures, or text reuse. Follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) for guidelines on using previously published material (section 1.10, p. 15). Upload permission for reuse along with the rest of the manuscript parts at the time of article submission. Permission for use and sharing content from many sources may be obtained from the Copyright Clearance Center/RightsLink at: http://www.copyright.com/get-permissions/ Hybrid publishing model/open access Authors of accepted peer-reviewed articles have the choice to pay a fee to allow perpetual unrestricted online access to their published article to readers globally, immediately upon publication. Authors may take advantage of the open access option at the point of acceptance to ensure that this choice has no influence on the peer review and acceptance process. These articles are subject to the journal's standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.The article processing charge (APC) is charged on acceptance of the article and should be paid within 30 days by the author, funding agency or institution. Payment must be processed for the article to be published open access. For a list of journals and pricing please visit our Wolters Kluwer Open Health Journals page. Compliance with NIH and other research funding agency accessibility A number of research funding agencies now require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, Wolters Kluwer identifies to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and transmits the post-print of an article based on research funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, or other funding agencies to PubMed Central. The revised Copyright Transfer Agreement provides the mechanism. Additionally, all authors who choose the gold open access option will have their final published article deposited into PubMed Central. RCUK and Wellcome funded authors can choose to publish their paper as open access with the payment of an article process charge (gold route), or opt for their accepted manuscript to be deposited (green route) into PMC with an embargo. With both the gold and green open access options, the author will continue to sign the Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) portion of the Author Questionnaire, as it provides the mechanism for LWW to ensure that the author is fully compliant with the requirements. After signature of the CTA, the author will then sign a License to Publish whereupon they will then own the copyright. Those authors who wish to publish their article via the gold route will be able to publish under the terms of the Attribution 4.0 (CCBY) License. To view of a copy of this license visit: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/. Authors who wish to publish their article via the green route will be able to publish under the rights of the Attribution Non-commercial 4.0 (CCBY NC) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/) It is the responsibility of the author to inform the Editorial Office and/or LWW that they have RCUK funding. Wolters Kluwer will not be held responsible for retroactive deposits to PMC if the author has not completed the proper sections on the Author Questionnaire. Repositories and posting on author social media accounts If accepted, unless you opt for open access, your article must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of the publisher. You may not post the PDF file of your copyedited article, or your final published article in any repository or online social media site. However, you may post the pre-publication revised and accepted manuscript provided you include a link to the published article on the publisher's website.

.Back to ToC After submission Preliminary review by Editorial Office Staff Editorial Office staff assesses each submitted manuscript to ensure formatting requirements have been met. If corrections or clarifications are needed, you may be asked to edit your submission files and resubmit. Once the manuscript passes our initial technical check, manuscripts with topics and article types consistent with the Nursing Research editorial mission, and that also meet requirements for style, manuscript preparation, and English language usage may be assigned for peer review. Authors of manuscripts not assigned for peer review receive an e-mail message from the Editor explaining the decision. Peer review Typically, each manuscript is sent for double-blind peer review by two members of the peer-review panel, who are selected for a manuscript based on their areas of expertise. For many manuscripts additional opinions are obtained from experts in related fields (quantitative or qualitative methods, biological sciences, or substantive areas addressed in manuscripts). There are approximately 900 continuing and new experts on the Nursing Research peer review panel, including about 60 statisticians, biostatisticians, psychometricians, and data miners. Names of those who reviewed a paper or papers during the previous calendar year are published annually in the journal and are posted online at: http://journals.lww.com/nursingresearchonline/Pages/listofreviewers.aspx Peer reviewers serve as advisors to the Editor. They are asked to read assigned papers, make a recommendation about disposition of the manuscript, rate the importance of the topic, score the quality of the parts of the manuscript, and write narrative comments for the authors. Peer reviewers may also submit confidential comments to the Editor about any concerns they have about any aspect of the paper or the research. Peer reviews attest that they have no conflicts of interest in reviewing the manuscript. Peer reviewers are asked to complete their reviews in timely fashion. When review is complete, both by the reviewers and the editors, you will be notified of the journal's decision and may be asked to make revisions to your paper. Revisions are common and do not mean that the journal is not interested in your work. If you find you need more time than anticipated to make your corrections, please contact the journal office for an extension. Authors are encouraged to view the guidelines for reviewers. With the permission of authors, examples of manuscripts and reviews are posted at the Nursing Research post-publication
open manuscript review site. Editor's decision The Editor holds responsibility for the decision about disposition of a manuscript. The decision is either: (a) accept the manuscript; (b) reject the manuscript; or (c) invite a revision. The decision is communicated to the corresponding author by e-mail sent through Editorial Manager. The message includes the decision and the comments of peer reviewers. If the decision was to invite a revision, the Editor may provide comments in addition to those of the peer reviewers. The decision may be delegated to the Associate Editor or a member of the Editorial Board when the Editor has a conflict with submitted paper or when they hold special expertise relevant to a particular topic or type of paper. Decision making authority may also be delegated to Guest Editors for special issues, special topic sections in regular issues, or supplements. Appealing the Editor's decision The Editor's decision to reject a manuscript may be appealed under some circumstances. The editor will not consider appeals for any manuscript that was rejected before being sent for peer review. Dissatisfaction with the decision is, by itself, not grounds for an appeal. If authors think there was evidence of unfairness or oversight in the peer review or editorial decision making process, the decision may be appealed. The appeal should be submitted to the Editor via email in Editorial Manager between 14 and 28 days following the decision date; specific rationale for the appeal must be provided. The Editor determines whether an Appeals Panel will be convened and conveys this information to the corresponding author. An Appeals Panel composed of the Associate Editor and two Editorial Board Members assesses materials relevant to the appeal (the manuscript, peer review documents, editorial communications). The Advisory Panel provides recommendations, with rationale, to either retain the decision or rescind the decision to reject in favor of an invitation to revise and resubmit. The Editor reviews the input of the Advisory Panel and makes the final determination about disposition of the manuscript. A decision about an appeal is made within six weeks of receipt of the request for an Appeal. The decision is final. Revisions Responding to reviewer and Editor comments An itemized, point-by-point response to the comments of the reviewers and Editor should be submitted with the revision. Disagreements with any recommendations should be explained. The location (section title, paragraph #, & line #) of each response can be included in a simple table. Revised manuscripts must identify the changes in the revised manuscript with a contrasting font color or highlighting. Tracked changes will not be permitted. All co-authors must have completed the co-author questionnaire before the revised manuscript can be reviewed by the editor. Submitting the revised manuscript If you have been invited to revise and resubmit your manuscript, the revision is submitted online at http://nres.edmgr.com. Login using the same user name and password. On the "Author Main Menu," under the heading "REVISIONS," select the "Submissions Needing Revision" link which will be the only active link. Do not submit your revision as a "New Submission." Once your revision is submitted, the Managing Editor will review it once more to ensure our submission guidelines are being followed before assigning it back to the editors. As we require all revised submissions to be production-ready, the submission may be sent back to you for additional formatting changes that weren't addressed at initial submission. Your submission may be sent out to the original reviewers for another look, but in most cases the editors will be working personally with your article to make additional recommendations if needed. After acceptance Copy-editing and queries from the Editor Nursing Research reserves the right to edit all manuscripts for style and space requirements, and to clarify the presentation. Authors should expect queries during the copy-editing stage from the editorial office before the manuscript is sent to production for typesetting. Page proofs and corrections Before publication, proofs of edited copy in .pdf format are submitted electronically to the corresponding author who is responsible for checking the accuracy of the material. Complete instructions are provided along with the proof. Adobe Reader version 7 or higher is needed to complete this task. Online Only Nursing Research may publish some articles as online-only. Online-only articles are chosen at the discretion of the editor and production staff. The titles of online-only articles appear on the print and online table of contents with instructions on where to access the article online; online-only articles are not printed in the issue. All online-only articles appear in index services such as PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Thomson Reuters's Web of Knowledge for Impact Factor. To index services, online-only articles are indistinguishable from articles published in print. Social media Nursing Research uses social media to amplify dissemination. Facebook and Twitter are used. When submitting a revised manuscript, authors are given the chance to provide a brief summary of their article, along with their user handles, to use for promotion of the article if accepted. When papers are accepted, authors will also be asked to contribute photos; links to their on-line profiles; and written, audio, or video notes about their research suitable for use in social media. Content contributed for social media use should not be copyright protected or, if copyright-protected, written permission for reuse must be provided. Follow Nursing Research on Twitter @NResOnline.
