Java Nursing Journal (JNJ) is an internationally refereed publication that provides a venue for nursing scholarship with Asian focus and perspective from the region. Its objective is to highlight evidence on nursing science, management, health policy, education, and practice within Asian communities worldwide, catering to a broad international readership.

JNJ welcomes various submissions, including original research, review articles, theory and concept development, and case studies on clinical and professional nursing topics from 48 Asian countries (according to the United Nations). Furthermore, JNJ accepts negative results, given that the research design is sound.

The majority of papers in JNJ are written by nurses and midwives, with no restriction on authorship for other health professions as long as the articles align with the stated objective and scope, particularly with regards to implications for nursing science, management and practice (Medical Surgical Nursing, Nursing Anesthesia Advanced Nursing, Complementary Nursing, Community Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Basic Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, Maternity Nursing, Nursing Management, Gerontology Nursing, Law Nursing and Informatic Nursing).

The intended readership of JNJ includes practicing nurses and midwives in all spheres and levels committed to advancing practice and professional development based on new knowledge and evidence, nursing and midwifery profession managers and senior members, nurse educators and nursing students, and researchers, scholars, and scientists in other disciplines with an interest in common issues and interdisciplinary collaboration.

• All submissions to Java Nursing Journal (JNJ) undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and validity of the published work. The journal encourages the submission of papers that present innovative and original research, as well as those that advance new theories, methodologies, and techniques in nursing science, management, health policy, education, and clinical practice relevant to Asian populations and contexts.
