Author Guidelines

There are different requirements for new and revised submissions. Initially, authors can submit their manuscript as a single Word file for review. If the paper is accepted for publication, the authors will be asked to format it correctly and provide the necessary materials for publishing the article. These requirements only apply at the revision stage.

TYPES OF MANUSCRIPT

Original Articles
Original articles should present original clinical studies or research that have not been published or are being considered for publication elsewhere. These articles should be no more than 7000 words in length, including the list of authors and their affiliations, corresponding author, acknowledgments, and figure legends. They should also include an abstract of up to 250 words, a list of at least 25 references primarily from National/international journals, and a maximum of 5 figures/tables. The layout of the article should follow specific guidelines.

Systematic Review
Systematic reviews are comprehensive evaluations of evidence from various sources on a particular topic in the field of nursing. A systematic search of relevant data sources should be conducted, and items should be selected for inclusion based on predefined criteria. The review should include a description of the selection process and an analysis of the data. It should also describe the characteristics of the study participants or patients and the measures of exposure and outcome, as well as the corresponding data sources. The review should have a structured abstract and should be no longer than 7000 words, including acknowledgments, and should include at least 40 references and a maximum of 4 tables and/or figures.

TITLE AND AUTHORSHIP
The title of the article should be a concise and informative summary of the research, without any abbreviations, and should not exceed 12 words.
Only individuals who have made significant contributions to the work should be listed as authors. The authors' full names (without academic titles) and affiliations (department and institution) should be included, as well as the name, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and email address of the corresponding author. The corresponding author is the person responsible for communication during the publication process and after the article is published.

ABSTRACT
Abstracts should be a concise summary of the article, with a maximum length of 250 words. They should not include references or abbreviations and should provide enough information to highlight the main points and significance of the work. In general, abstracts should include:

  • Introduction: A brief background and purpose of the study
  • Method: A description of the research design, setting (without mentioning the specific location, but including the geographic type or number if necessary), participants (including details on selection, inclusion and exclusion criteria, numbers entering and leaving the study, and relevant clinical and demographic characteristics)
  • Results: A summary of the main outcomes/findings, including statistical significance and confidence intervals if relevant
  • Conclusions: A discussion of the study aims and hypotheses
  • Keywords: Three to five keywords in alphabetical order that accurately describe the subject, purpose, method, and focus of the paper.

TEXT
The text of the article should be organized into introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion sections. Footnotes should be avoided, and their contents should be incorporated into the text. Only standard abbreviations should be used, as nonstandard abbreviations can be confusing for readers. Abbreviations should not be used in the title of the manuscript. When an abbreviation is first mentioned, it should be written out in full followed by the abbreviation in parentheses, unless it is a standard unit of measurement. Numbers at the beginning of a sentence should be spelled out.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT (OPTIONAL)
The acknowledgments section should include recognition of individuals who made contributions to the paper, including technical assistance and financial or material support, as well as general support from a department chair.

TABLES AND FIGURES
Tables should be numbered in arabic numerals, captions should be brief, clearly indicating the purpose or content of each table. If your manuscript includes more than 5 tables in total, or for very large tables, these can be submitted as Supplementary Data and will be included as such in the online version of your article.

REFERENCES
References should be formatted according to the JNI style guidelines provided in the template and should be carefully checked for accuracy and consistency. It is important that all references cited in the text are included in the reference list, and vice versa. A minimum of 20 references, with at least 80% from journal papers, is required. Authors are encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero, or similar tools to manage their references.
