About the journal
Nursing Philosophy provides a forum for discussion of philosophical issues in nursing. These focus on questions relating to the nature of nursing and to the phenomena of key relevance to it. For example, any understanding of what nursing is presupposes some conception of just what nurses are trying to do when they nurse. But what are the ends of nursing? Are they to promote health, prevent disease, promote well-being, enhance autonomy, relieve suffering, or some combination of these? How are these ends are to be met? What kind of knowledge is needed in order to nurse? Practical, theoretical, aesthetic, moral, political, 'intuitive' or some other?
Papers that explore other aspects of philosophical enquiry and analysis of relevance to nursing (and any other healthcare or social care activity) are also welcome and might include, but not be limited to, critical discussions of the work of nurse theorists who have advanced philosophical claims (e.g., Benner, Benner and Wrubel, Carper, Schrok, Watson, Parse and so on) as well as critical engagement with philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Husserl, Kuhn, Polanyi, Taylor, MacIntyre and so on) whose work informs health care in general and nursing in particular.

Copyright Transfer Agreement
It is a condition of publication that authors assign the full copyright to Wiley-Blackwell Ltd to publish all articles including abstracts. Papers will not be passed to the Publisher for production unless the full copyright has been assigned. To assist authors a Copyright Transfer Agreement is available from the production editor or editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form by clicking here. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
This form can also be downloaded by following the 'Instructions & Forms' link from http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nup.
Manuscript Style
Original papers should be between 3000 and 7000 words. Dialogue contributions, critical responses and letters to the editor should not normally exceed 3000 words. Manuscripts should be double spaced using a 12-point font and submitted as a single file to include the abstract and keywords, and references. There should be a separate file for the title page and a further separate file for any acknowledgments (see below)
Title Page
The title page should be submitted as a separate file to include a title that adequately describe the article; that names [first name, initials of middle name(s), surnames], qualifications and affiliations of all authors, a full postal address, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract and Keywords
The abstract should not exceed 300 words. Up to six key words or key phrases may be listed after the abstract.
Headings
The introduction should begin on a new page and subsequent sections should be appropriately sub-headed. Abbreviations and footnotes should be avoided. The use of non-discriminatory language is encouraged and spellings should conform with the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements should be brief and must include reference to sources of financial and logistical support. Author(s) should clear the copyright of material they wish to reproduce from other sources and this should be acknowledged. A copy of any documentation granting permission to reproduce material should be enclosed with the final version of the manuscript. Acknowledgements should be prepared as a separate file submitted as a 'Supplementary File not for Review'.
References
Harvard style should be used. Cite the author's surname followed by year of publication (e.g., Jones 2007). Where there are three or more authors, the first author's surname followed by et al. should be used (e.g., Williams et al., 2006). If there is more than one reference per year from an author then distinguish with a letter (e.g., 2008a, 2008b).
References should be listed in alphabetical order of first author's surname and initials. Journal and book titles should be written out in full. The following are examples of style:
Banks S. & Gallagher A. (2009) Ethics in Professional Life: virtues for health and social care. Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke.
Allmark P. & Tod A. (2007) Philosophy and health education: The case of lung cancer and smoking. In: The Philosophy of Nurse Education (eds J.S. Drummond & P. Standish) pp. 46-58. Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke.

Hallowell N. (2008) Encounters with medical professionals: a crisis of trust or a matter of respect? Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 11(4): 427-437.
All quotes and direct paraphrases should be accompanied by page numbers (e.g., Benner and Wrubel, 1989, p. 11). All notes should be endnotes and numbered consecutively.
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.

Line drawings should be saved in a separate file and lettering should be no less than 4 mm high to allow for a 50% reduction in size. Each figure should have a legend clearly describing it and the legends should be grouped together and supplied in a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Ideally these should be in PICT if created on a Mac, or in native format of WMF if created in Windows. Files saved as PS, EPS, GIF and TIFF may also be used, but please note that it may not be possible to modify them. Avoid using tints. If they are essential to the understanding of the figure please try to make them coarse. For further information see http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp. Illustrations should be on supplied separately, headed as briefly as possible and numbered consecutively throughout the article. A guide to the appropriate position of each figure and table should be indicated in the text.
Tables
These should only contain essential data. Each table should include a clear title. Tables should be numbered consecutively in the same way as figures. Only horizontal lines should be used for tables, one above and one below the column headings and one at the table foot.
Philosophy Column
Contributions for the Philosophy Column will normally be invited by the editor. Prospective, unsolicited contributors should contact the Journal Editor to discuss their proposal.
Authorship
People given authorship credit should meet all of the following criteria:
contribution to the conception and design of the piece of work, or to analysis and interpretation of data;
contribution to the drafting or revision of the article; and
approval of the version finally published.
Participation in the acquisition of funding alone or data collection alone does not merit authorship.

All OnlineOpen articles are treated in the same way as any other article. They go through the journal's standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.
Proofs
The corresponding author will receive an e-mail alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following Web site: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added.

Only typographical errors and other essential changes may be made at this stage. Major textual alterations cannot be accepted.

Authors will receive electronic offprints of their paper on publication. A pdf file of the final proof will be sent to the corresponding author at his or her e-mail address on the title page of the manuscript. Paper offprints can be ordered at proof stage.
Author Material Archive Policy
Please note that unless specifically requested not to, we will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted 2 months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not already done so.

Online production tracking is available for your article through Author Services. Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated emails at key stages of production. The author will receive an email with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system.
