Advances in Nursing Science: Information for Authors
Purpose of the Journal
The primary purposes of Advances in Nursing Science (ANS) are to advance the development of nursing knowledge and to promote the integration of nursing philosophies, theories and research with practice. While the journal provides scholarly articles that have relevance for all health-related disciplines, we are particularly committed to claiming nursing's rightful place in the development of health-related knowledge.
Scope and Values
We expect high scholarly merit and encourage innovative, cutting edge ideas that challenge prior assumptions and present new, intellectually challenging perspectives. We seek works that speak to global sustainability and take an intersectional approach, recognizing class, color, sexual and gender identity, dis/abiliy and other dimensions of human experience related to health. We welcome manuscripts authored by Black, Indigenous and all scholars of color. We welcome all works that challenge existing injustices and power imbalances that sustain privilege for some and disadvantage for others, and works that name social and systemic dynamics such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, etc. Manuscripts can be based on any methodology, including scholarly inquiry/research, philosophic and theoretic analysis/synthesis, integrative reviews, and original exploration of diverse approaches to creating nursing knowledge. All submissions must include a statement that addresses the significance of the work for the evolution of the discipline of nursing.
Published scholarly works play a major role in shaping thought and power structures. We encourage authors to include a standpoint statement that describes your position relative to power relations of race, gender, and class. This is particularly important if your work involves disadvantaged populations or issues of social determinants of health and health equity. Examples include:
“The authors Identify as white middle-class nurses. We have drawn on literature authored by scholars of color to inform the design, interpretations and conclusions reported in this article."
“Our work arises from our experiences as able-bodied nurses, as well as our identities as mixed-race descendants of immigrants from Central and South American countries."
Acceptance or rejection by the editor is based on the recommendations of peer reviewers, who evaluate manuscripts using the following criteria:
Consistent with the purposes of this journal, and if applicable, to the featured topic.
Significant to the advancement of the discipline of nursing.
Concise, logical ordering of ideas; readability.
Presentation of innovative, original ideas with sound rationale for the ideas.
Acknowledgement of and challenges to power relations involving race, gender, class, ableism or any other systematic disadvantage.
Scholarly methods and approaches to inquiry.
Well-founded and accurate content.
Adequate documentation. (Note: submissions with citations from deceptive or low-quality journals, also known as “predatory," are not acceptable and will be rejected.)
The title and keywords are appropriate to enhance discoverability.
Each issue includes articles focused on a “featured topic" as well as “general topic" articles that broadly address the purposes of ANS. Specific “featured topic" manuscripts must be submitted by the date indicated for an identified issue. Forthcoming featured topics are provided for the upcoming 4 to 6 issues.
Article Types
A general description of the focus and suggested content for different types of articles follows:
Research reports: We welcome articles based on research using quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods. The report should include a clear and concise summary of the purpose and problem, a statement of the hypothesis or research questions, background and significance, theoretical framework, design, methods and procedures, analyses of data, findings, conclusions, and implications for further research and nursing practice.
Theory, philosophy and methodology articles: Development of theory, philosophy and methodology are considered foundational for the development of nursing knowledge. We welcome in-depth theory analyses and development, integrative reviews, critical analyses, and works that examine the underlying epistemologic and/or ontologic foundation for nursing knowledge. All articles should include a review of literature upon which the work builds. Implications for the evolution of nursing knowledge should be included
