About the journal
TopAims and Scope
The Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing (JSPN) is the international evidence-based practice journal for nurses who specialize in the care of children and families. JSPN bridges the gap between research and practice by publishing peer-reviewed reliable, clinically relevant, and readily applicable evidence. Evidence includes qualitative and quantitative research, clinical expertise, and the perspectives of children and families. The journal integrates the best evidence with pediatric nurses' passion for achieving the best outcomes.
The journal values interdisciplinary perspectives in the care of children and families and publishes a wide variety of peer-reviewed papers on clinically relevant topics. Each feature article concludes with a section titled, "How do I apply this information to nursing practice?" In addition, JSPN columns provide a forum for authors to share their expertise. The concise, information-packed columns are popular with students and educators as well as with clinicians.

JSPN invites submission of original manuscripts that are in concert with its mission. These could describe innovations in clinical practice, education, or administration; case presentations; public policy information; synthesis of research findings; and original research. We are particularly interested in manuscripts, regardless of type, that (a) clearly specify the nursing problems/issues, (b) make a compelling argument for the way in which the author addresses the issues, (c) provide information that will facilitate clinical judgments, (d) describe how clinicians can best use the information presented, and (e), where applicable, include a list of additional resources (including Web sites) that provide related information for clinical judgment.

For other abstracts: Purpose, Conclusions, and Practice Implications. Include search terms.

NEW: Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication. JSPN reserves the right to edit all accepted manuscripts for format and clarity.
Determine authorship based on 1) Substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published (The International Committee, 2006, p 5). See also Committee on Publication Ethics. (2003). Guidelines on good publication and the code of conduct. Cope Report 2003 (pp. 69-73).
