Instructions to Authors
The Editor of Nurse Education Today, Professor Martin Johnson, welcomes the submission of papers for publication. Please e-mail your submission to jtyldsley@jtyldsley.karoo.co.uk. If you do not have internet access, please contact the editorial office for alternative submission instructions (see Editorial Board page for contact details).
In the interests of both readers and authors the Journal Editor has manuscripts peer-reviewed, and may recommend revisions.
Please check your text carefully before you send it off, both for correct content and typographic errors. It is not possible to change the content of accepted papers during production.
Do not use 'he', 'his' etc where the sex of the person is unknown; say 'the nurse' etc. Avoid inelegant alternatives such as 'he/she'. Nurses should not be automatically designated as 'she', and doctors as 'he'.
Title Page: The title page should be provided as a separate file. Your title page should give the title in capital letters, below which should be the authors' names (as they are to appear) in lower-case letters. For each author you should give one first name as well as the surname and any initials. You should give a maximum of four degrees/qualifications for each author and the current relevant appointment only. Authors' addresses should be limited to the minimum information needed to ensure accurate postal delivery; these details should be on the title page below the authors' names and appointments. Authors should also provide a daytime contact telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
CHECKLIST Before e-mailing your paper. please check that:
- Figures are of reproducible quality (not photocopies)
- The reference list is complete and in correct style
- Written permission from original publishers and authors to reproduce any borrowed material has been obtained
Title The content of your paper should determine the headings you use. If yours is a research paper the headings should follow the usual layout; such as: Introduction, Background/Literature, Methods, Data/Results, Discussion, Conclusions. If your paper takes another form you should use the appropriate headings, but do bear in mind that headings should facilitate reading and understanding. You should use only two kinds of headings; major headings should be indicated by underlined capital letters in the centre of the page whereas minor headings should be underined, have lower-case letters (beginning with a capital) and begin at the left hand margin.
Keywords Include three or four keywords. The purpose of these is to increase the likely accessibility of your paper to potential readers searching the literature. Therefore, ensure keywords are descriptive of the study. Refer to a recognised thesaurus of keywords (e.g. MEDLINE, CINAHL) wherever possible.
Abstracts An abstract of your paper, a maximum of 200 words summarising the content, should follow the title page.
Length All articles should be 2500-3500 words.
Reference Format The accuracy of the references you provide is your responsibility. In the text references should state the author's surname and the year of publication (Smith 1989). If there are two authors you should give both surnames (Smith & Black 1989). When a source has more than two authors, give the name of the first author followed by 'et al.'. Where a quotation is used within your paper the author, date and page number should be given, e.g. 'Pain probably disables more people than any single disease entity.' (McCaffery 1979, p.1)
A list of all references in your manuscript should be typed in alphabetical order. Each reference to a paper needs to include the authors' surnames and initials, year of publication, full title of the paper, full name of the journal, volume number, issue number and first and last page numbers. Do not add unnecessary punctuation.
For example: Aggleton P, Allen M, Montgomery S 1987 Developing a system for the continuous assessment of practical nursing skills. Nurse Education Today 7 (4): 158-164
References to Books should be given in a slightly different form, as in these examples: Houle C O 1972 The design of education. Jossey-Bass, San Francisco.
Quinn S 1982 Nursing education in the countries of the Common Market. In: Henderson M S (ed) Nursing Education. Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, p 125-140
When citing a Churchill Livingstone journal, include the digital object identifier (DOI), if noted, from the article's title page. Please note the following examples:
Nanduri B, Zimiak P 1990 Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 362: 167-174. doi: 10.1054/abbi.1998.1009
Prasad R K, Ismail-Beigi F 1998 Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics. doi: 10.1054/abbi.1998.1026
Figures You may consider that illustrations would help clarify your material. If you decide to use line drawings you should present them drawn in the form of a crisp black image on an even white background. Any line drawings you submit should be about twice the size of final reproduction. Any figures which you use should be correctly and clearly labelled, using lettering appropriate to the size of the figure and bearing in mind that the figure will be reduced. You should present captions typed double spaced on a separate sheet. To assist the Editor you should clearly mark figures and photographs on the back and with the number, an indication of the top edge and your name. Photographs should be clear, highly contrasted black and white glossy prints.
Tables Each table needs a short descriptive title above it, and a clear legend or key and, if necessary, suitably identified footnotes below. When drawing up the tables take care to include all the units of measurement. Make sure that each table is cited in the text.
Copyright Information Authors need to transfer copyright explicitly to the publishers to ensure the maximum dissemination and copyright protection of material published in NET. A copy of the copyright transfer agreement will be sent to you by the Editor upon acceptance of your paper. This agreement does not limit your freedom to republish the material in the typescript without requesting permission, as long as you acknowledge Nurse Education Today as the original source of publication. Of course, the usual restrictions on photocopying apply, by which multiple copying is illegal.
Permissions Information Written permission to reproduce borrowed material (illustrations and tables) must be obtained from the original publishers and authors, and submitted with the typescript. Borrowed material should be acknowledged in the captions in this style: Reproduced by kind permission of ... (publishers) ... from ... (reference).
Proofs Proofs will be sent to the author (first-named author if no corresponding author is identified on multi-authored papers) by PDF wherever possible and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt, preferably by e-mail. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any other amendments made may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive e-mail or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete. Should you choose to mail your corrections, please return them to: Log-in Department, Elsevier Science, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon EX1 2AH, UK.
Offprints Copies of offprints are likely to be sought by readers, so you should indicate on your title page who will deal with these; for example (Requests for offprints to XY). Twenty-five free offprints will automatically be sent to the corresponding author; extra copies may also be ordered on a form which will accompany your page proofs.
