John Wiley & Sons ltd., today announced the launch of Nursing
Open as part of the Wiley
Open Access publishing program. The journal is one of the first open
access journals to span the entire breadth of the nursing field.
Nursing Open provides authors with a new platform for the rapid
dissemination of research and scholarship on all aspects of nursing and
midwifery practice, research, education and policy. The journal
publishes articles that contribute to the art and science of nursing and
which have a positive impact on health either locally, nationally,
regionally or globally.
Nursing Open is the latest addition to Wiley’s portfolio of
nursing journals and will benefit from relationships with many titles
including the Journal of Advanced Nursing (IF 1.527),
the Journal of Clinical Nursing (IF 1.316), the Journal
of Nursing Management (IF 1.454) and International
Nursing Review (IF 0.939).
“Nursing Open offers those who contribute to this vitally
important field a new outlet for their research and scholarship, while
also recognizing the growing importance of open access journals in the
dissemination of high quality research information,” said Philip
Carpenter, Vice President & Managing Director, Research Communications,
Wiley.
“Nursing Open aims to provide integrity and speed in publishing a
wide range of high quality nursing scholarship and, within a short time,
to be the preferred destination for open access articles in nursing.”
said Professor Roger Watson, Nursing Open Editor.
Professor Watson is based at the University of Hull and has been
appointed Editor alongside a growing list of editorial board members.
Working in care of older people, he has a special interest in the
feeding and nutritional problems of patients with dementia.
As well as his position as Editor of Nursing Open, Professor
Watson is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Advanced Nursing,
and he has a strong interest in encouraging and coaching nurses in
publishing, reviewing and editing.
