Focus and Scope
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 article, theory and concept development, and case study 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 manager 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.
