Writing a Manuscript

Nurse clinicians have unique and complex knowledge needs that require knowledge developed from a nursing perspective. Research and Theory for Nursing Practice seeks manuscripts focused on research and theory issues relevant to improving nursing practice, education, and patient care. The articles strive to discuss knowledge development in its broadest sense, reflect research using a variety of methodological approaches, and may combine several methods and strategies in a single study. Because of the journal's international emphasis, we ask article contributors to address the implications of their studies for an international audience, if appropriate.

The manuscript must conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 7th edition, 2019) in matters of style and formatting including the text, references, tables, digital files for any figures (tiff at 300ppi or eps), and written permission for previously published materials. A brief abstract (no more than 200 words) should accompany the manuscript. Authors should supply a list of four to six keywords that describe the scientific content of the manuscript. The keywords will be used for indexing in bibliographic databases. To improve potential for acceptance, authors who are not native English speakers, are encouraged to seek professional editorial review of their manuscripts prior to submission to the journal.
