Submissions are assigned to one of three Peer Review Panels depending on type of article.
- COVER ARTICLES: These submissions are up to 20 pages in length. Preference is given to research manuscripts.
- Innovation Center Articles: These submissions are up to six pages in length and focus on innovative program developments.
- Research Brief Articles. These submissions are up to six pages in length and focus on pilot studies in nursing education, studies based on a single site, and studies with small samples that would limit generalization.
We ask peer reviewers to evaluate the content of the manuscript with regard to various criteria, including:
- Does it represent the state of the art or science of nursing and/or nursing education?
- Does it present new or improved findings or ideas?
- Is it consistent with sound educational practices and/or research methodology?
- Are the references appropriate?
- Is the use of language clear and precise?
- Is the content interesting and organized logically?
Nurse educators who have published in peer-reviewed journals and other publications are welcome to apply to become part of the Nursing Education Perspectives Peer Review Panel.
