Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
Please read the guidelines below then visit the Biological Research For Nursing (BRN)’s submission site to upload your manuscript. Please note that manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned. Remember you can log in to the submission site at any time to check on the progress of your paper through the peer review process.
SAGE Publishing disseminates high-quality research and engaged scholarship globally, and we are committed to diversity and inclusion in publishing. We encourage submissions from a diverse range of authors from across all countries and backgrounds.
Only manuscripts of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of BRN will be reviewed.
There are no fees payable to submit or publish in this journal.
As part of the submission process you will be required to warrant that you are submitting your original work, that you have the rights in the work, and that you have obtained and can supply all necessary permissions for the reproduction of any copyright works not owned by you, that you are submitting the work for first publication in the journal and that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere and has not already been published elsewhere. Please see our guidelines on prior publication and note that BRN will consider submissions of papers that have been posted on preprint servers; please alert the Editorial Office when submitting (contact details are at the end of these guidelines) and include the DOI for the preprint in the designated field in the manuscript submission system. Authors should not post an updated version of their paper on the preprint server while it is being peer reviewed for possible publication in the journal. If an article that has been posted to a preprint server is accepted for publication, the author may reuse their work according to the journal's author archiving policy. Additionally, if accepted, authors must include a link on their preprint to the final version of the paper.
1. What do we publish?
1.1 Aims & scope
Before submitting your manuscript to BRN, please ensure that you have read the Aims & Scope. Manuscripts will be initially reviewed by the editor to ensure appropriateness for the journal. Note that BRN only publishes manuscripts that have a biological or physiological focus or measure.
1.2 Writing your paper

2. Editorial policies
2.1 Peer review policy
BRN adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties.
As part of the submission process you will be invited to provide the names of peers who could be called upon to review your manuscript. Recommended reviewers should be experts in their fields and should be able to provide an objective assessment of the manuscript. Please be aware of any conflicts of interest when recommending reviewers. Examples of conflicts of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
The reviewer should have no prior knowledge of your submission
The reviewer should not have recently collaborated with any of the authors
Reviewer nominees from the same institution as any of the authors are not permitted
You will also be invited to indicate peers whom you do not wish to review your manuscript (opposed reviewers).
Please note that the Editors are not obliged to invite/reject any recommended/opposed reviewers to assess your manuscript.
