Instructions to Authors
Editorial Purpose
The primary objective of the Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is to provide practicing nurses and nurses in leadership roles with useful information about patient safety, quality care, and the application of quality principles in the clinical setting. Articles in JNCQ address patient safety, innovative and effective approaches to improving quality and safety in healthcare, research on quality care, and evidence-based practice in nursing. JNCQ provides a forum for the discussion of patient safety issues and “real world” implementation of quality-related activities.
Manuscript Review
JNCQ is a peer-reviewed journal. Published manuscripts have been reviewed, selected, and developed with the guidance of the Editorial Board. Manuscript content is assessed for relevance, accuracy, and usefulness to practicing nurses, nurses in leadership roles, and other healthcare providers involved in evaluating and improving safety and quality of care. Manuscripts are reviewed with the understanding that neither the manuscript nor its essential content has been published or is under consideration by others.
Authorship Responsibility
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. Each author should have contributed significantly to the conception and design of the work and writing the manuscript to take public responsibility for it. The editor may request justification of assignment of authorship. Names of those who contributed general support or technical help may be listed in an acknowledgment placed after the narrative and before the references.
Query Letters
Although not necessary, query letters allow the editor to indicate interest in, and developmental advice on, manuscript topics.
