Java Nursing Journal is an open-access journal that publishes nursing evidence across practice, education, management, and health policy with clear relevance to Asian contexts. Its distinctive feature is an explicitly Asian focus across 48 countries, while remaining open to interdisciplinary authorship when implications for nursing are clear. JNJ also welcomes methodologically sound studies with negative results, supporting a more complete evidence base. Manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review (at least two independent reviewers) with final editorial decisions by the Managing Editor and Editor-in-Chief. Research integrity is supported through published publication-ethics guidance and a transparent Generative AI disclosure policy.

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.
