Instructions to Authors
1. Aims and Scope Nursing & Health Sciences (NHS) is a premier international journal focusing on the exchange of knowledge in nursing and health sciences, particularly between the East and West. It has an international authorship, readership and Editorial Board. The journal was the first nursing and health sciences journal to be fully published in English in Japan. It began in 1999 and is owned by the Society for Nursing and Health Sciences at Yamaguchi University. By encouraging Eastern and Western scholars to share their knowledge and experiences, Nursing & Health Sciences provides readers with a deeper understanding of health care around the world, and the opportunity to enrich their own practices to improve global health.
The types of articles published in NHS are papers on: • Original research of all designs and methods, related to clinical practice, education, health policy, health management, health service delivery and evaluation, or public health. • Research methodology and protocols • Systematic reviews of research evidence (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods); meta-analyses, meta-syntheses. (Please note that narrative or traditional literature reviews are no longer published). • Scholarly papers presenting in-depth analysis and discussion of philosophical, theoretical, conceptual, professional practice or health policy issues or innovations. • Commentary on previous articles published in NHS (These should be sent directly to NHS rather than through our online system).
2. Acceptance Criteria Criteria for acceptance of manuscripts by NHS include: the originality and timeliness of the scholarly endeavor; the quality, clarity, and readability of the manuscript; and relevance of information. The revision and recommendation process may need to occur several times before a manuscript is accepted for publication.
3. Ethical Guidelines NHS, together with other Wiley-Blackwell publications, holds membership with the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) and adheres to the following guidelines for publication and research:
a) The Editor-in-Chief takes final responsibility for this journal to ensure the highest standards of publication. They are expected to uphold scientific standards of publication and COPE's Standards of Conduct in Editing, and to identify publication misconduct in submitted or published articles. See: http://publicationethics.org/ for more information.
b) The protocol for any human research must have been approved by a suitably constituted research ethics committee of the institution within which the work was undertaken, and must conform to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki in 1995 (as revised in Edinburgh 2000). See: http://www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm
c) When considering what types of studies require ethical approval, the Editor-in-Chief will conform to the Guidance for Editors: Research, Audit and Service Evaluations 2008, outlined on COPE's website: http://publicationethics.org/files/u2/Audit_research_guidelines.pdf
d) All manuscripts must state the proper title of the committee(s) which gave research ethics approval for the research. Without this manuscripts will not be sent for peer review and will face rejection.
e) All contributing authors must have significantly contributed to the research and writing of the manuscript, and approved the content before submission, or resubmission.
f) All sources of funding or products must be included in the Acknowledgement section of the manuscript.
g) Any financial or personal conflicts of interest in products, technology or methodology must be declared in writing to the Editor-in-Chief at the time of submission. Such information will be treated as confidential, but may be revealed to reviewers at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
h) Any clinical trials should be reported using the CONSORT guidelines and the submission checklist available at: www.consort-statement.org
i) Permissions: Where previously published material, such as tables, photographs, or illustrations are contained in submitted manuscripts, the author(s) are responsible for obtaining written permission from the copyright holder. They must submit a copy of such permission to the Editor-in-Chief. No material will be published without such permission.
j) Copyright: Authors must ensure that they do not breach copyright, and that their manuscript or part thereof has not been previously published, or submitted for consideration for publication elsewhere. A paper presented at a scientific meeting may be considered if it has not been published in full in a proceedings or similar publication. Before publication all authors must sign a copyright agreement. Papers accepted for publication become copyright of Wiley-Blackwell and authors will be asked to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement. All authors must read and agree to the conditions outlined in this Agreement, and sign it or agree that the corresponding author can sign on their behalf. Articles cannot be published until a signed Agreement has been received. Authors can find out more about copyright and download the Copyright Transfer Agreement from www.wiley.com/go/ctaaglobal
k) The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject any manuscript where it suspected there is unethical conduct during a research project, or in the manuscript authoring or content.
4. Submission of Manuscripts Please use our online ScholarOne Manuscripts system: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nhs. All manuscripts must fit within the aims, scope and author guidelines of NHS. If intending authors do not fulfill these guidelines, this might result in rejection of a manuscript or delays in publication. Submissions will be reviewed in a timely manner via the system and undergo peer review by at least two anonymous members of the Editorial Board, as well as the Editor-in-Chief, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication. Authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts and correspondence. Manuscripts will be published upon the recommendations of Editorial Board members and at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. Authors are encouraged to visit the Wiley-Blackwell Author Services website for further information about preparing and submitting manuscripts: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/
All manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication, the Editor-in-Chief or the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity or repetition, and improve communication between author and reader.
5. Pre-submission English-language Editing Manuscripts requiring major English language revision will be returned to the author(s). It is not the responsibility of reviewers to significantly revise language. Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve English. See: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp for a list of independent editing services. All services are paid for and arranged by the author(s). Use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
6. Manuscript Length Due to space restrictions, the length of a manuscript must not exceed the totals stated below. Over length manuscripts will be returned to authors for revision prior to being considered for peer review.
Original research, practice or education articles: 4,000 words Review article: 6,000 words Special reports: 2,000 words Commentary on previous papers published in NHS: 1,500 words.
A page charge of 25,000 Japanese Yen per excess page may be levied to the author(s) when articles exceed 8 printed pages for a research article and 10 pages for a review article after proof copying. Authors are therefore requested to ensure that tables, figures and other supplementary material are kept to a minimum.
Note: The title page and reference pages are not counted in the total words.
7. General Points a) Manuscripts: should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nhs. Authors must supply an email address as all correspondence will be by email. At least two files should be supplied: a cover letter to the Editor-in-Chief and the manuscript (in Word or rich text format (.rtf)). The letter should be uploaded as a file not for review. Figures and tables should be supplied as a separate file, with the figure or table number incorporated in the file name.
• Submissions should be double-spaced. • All margins should be at least 30 mm. • All pages should be numbered consecutively in the top right-hand corner, beginning with the title page. • Do not use Enter at the end of lines within a paragraph. • Turn the hyphenation option off; include only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning. • Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters. • Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for b (Greek beta). • Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells).
b) The cover letter to the Editor-in-Chief should declare details about ALL of the following: • The manuscript, has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, and any explanations about that; • All authors approve the content of the manuscript and have contributed significantly to research involved/ the writing of the manuscript; • The protocol for the research project has been approved by a suitably constituted research ethics committee of the institution within which the work was undertaken. You must give the proper title of the committee(s) in the cover letter as well as the manuscript; • The research conforms to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki in 1995 (as revised in Edinburgh 2000). • All participants gave informed consent for the research, and that their anonymity was preserved; and • Any financial or personal matters that may pose a conflict of interest.
c) Style The journal uses US spelling and authors should follow the latest edition of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. All measurements must be given in SI units. Abbreviations should be used sparingly and only where they reduce the repetition of long, technical terms. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, use the abbreviation. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names, rather than brand names.
8. Parts of the Manuscript a) Manuscripts should be presented in the following order:(i) title page, (ii) abstract and key words, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgements, (v) references, (vi) appendices, (vii) figure legends, (viii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes) and (ix) figures.
b) Footnotes to the text must not be used. Material should be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter.
c) Title page The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper of (ii)the full names of the authors (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together (iv) the full postal and email addresses, and facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript, proofs and requests for off prints should be sent. (v) The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote and (vii) The total number of words.
The title should be short, around 12 words, informative and contain the major key words, including the country (countries) where the project took place and the study design. A short running title (less than 40 characters, including spaces) also should be provided.
d) Abstract and key words All articles must have a brief abstract that states in 180 words or less the purpose, basic procedures, main findings, principal conclusions of the study, and implications for practice. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references, and should not be written in various sections under headings.
No more than six key words (for the purposes of indexing) should be supplied below the abstract in alphabetical order.
e) Text Authors should use subheadings to divide the sections according to the type of article:
Original (research) article: Introduction, Literature review (which must include analysis of contemporary literature from the last five years in particular), Study Aim or Purpose, Methods, (design, participants, ethical considerations (including name of research ethics committee(s), protection of participants, how they maintained ethical integrity, any important ethical issues), data collection, data analysis), Results, Discussion (including any limitations of research), Conclusion (including implications for practice), Acknowledgements, and References.
Systematic Review article: Introduction, Aim or Purpose, Methods (including the type of review, inclusion or exclusion criteria used for literature, data bases surveyed, number of articles reviewed), Results, Discussion, Conclusion (including implications of findings for practice), Acknowledgements, References, Figures and Tables.
Acknowledgements: The source of financial grants and other funding should be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors' industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of institutions also should be acknowledged. Acknowledgements given to anonymous reviewers are not allowed.
f) Contributions For ALL types of manuscripts, all those listed as authors must certify their contribution, which will form part of the publication. After the Acknowledgement section, please insert the each author's initials in capitals against at least one of the following:
Study Design Data Collection and Analysis Manuscript Writing
g) References No more than 40 references are to be used. It is wise to download a recent sample copy of a published article from the NHS website to guide your referencing techniques. Authors should follow the Harvard (author, date) system of referencing. In the text give the author's name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors, in the text use 'and': Smith and Jones (2001), in brackets use '&' (Watanabe & Ito, 2009). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002) or (MacDonald et al, 2002) when brackets are used.
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting. EndNote reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
The list of references should be in alphabetical order. Cite the names of all authors when there are six or fewer; when more than seven list the first three followed by et al. Names of journals should be abbreviated in the style used in Index Medicus. Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g. Smith A, 2000, unpubl. data). Examples of correct reference formats follow:

h) Appendices These should be placed at the end of the paper, numbered in Roman numerals and referred to in the text. If written by a person other than the author of the main text, the writer's name should be included below the title.
i) Figures: should be supplied as a separate file, with the figure or table number incorporated in the file name. For submission, low-resolution figures saved as .jpg or .bmp files should be uploaded, for ease of transmission during the review process. Upon acceptance of the article, high-resolution figures (at least 300 d.p.i.) saved as .eps or .tif files should be uploaded. Digital images supplied only as low-resolution files cannot be used. Further instructions are available at the submission site. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Figures should be sized to fit within the column (83 mm), intermediate (117 mm) or the full text width (174 mm). Magnifications should be indicated using a scale bar on the illustration. Line figures should be sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package. Lettering must be included and should be sized to be no larger than the journal text. Color figures Authors wishing to use color illustrations should contact the Editors. The cost of publishing figures, tables, illustrations or photographs in color will be met by authors, not NHS.
Figure legends Legends should be self-explanatory and typed on a separate page. The legend should incorporate definitions of any symbols used and all abbreviations and units of measurement should be explained so that the figure and its legend is understandable without reference to the text. (Provide a letter stating copyright authorization if figures have been reproduced from another source.)
j) Tables should be supplied as a separate file, and should complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Each table should be presented on a separate sheet of A4 paper with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table. Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations should be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, , should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings. The table and its legend/footnotes should be understandable without reference to the text.
Authors should visit the websites for authors at: http://authorservices.wiley.com/ and http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp which detail further information on the preparation and submission of articles and figures.
Proofs It is essential that corresponding authors supply an email address to which correspondence can be emailed while their article is in production. Notification of the URL from where to download a Portable Document Format (PDF) typeset page proof, associated forms and further instructions will be sent by email to the corresponding author. The purpose of the PDF proof is a final check of the layout, and of tables and figures. Alterations other than the essential correction of errors are unacceptable at PDF proof stage. The proof should be checked, and approval to publish the article should be emailed to the Publisher by the date indicated; otherwise, it may be signed off by the Editor-in-Chief, or held over to the next issue.
Author material archive policy Authors who require the return of any submitted material that is accepted for publication should inform the Editorial Office after acceptance. If no indication is given that author material should be returned, Wiley-Blackwell will dispose of all hardcopy and electronic material two months after publication.
Offprints A minimum of 50 offprints will be provided upon request, at the author's expense. These paper offprints may be ordered online. Please visit http://offprint.cosprinters.com/, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields. If you have queries about offprints please email offprint@cosprinters.com
