Instructions to Authors
Editorial Purpose
The Journal of Nursing Administration (JONA) is designed for nurse leaders in a variety of healthcare organizations such as hospitals, home care agencies, and clinics. JONA provides information on management and leadership development; human, material, and financial resource management; staffing and scheduling systems; staff development; research and innovations; labor-management relations; policy, legislation, regulations, and economics related to healthcare and program development; legal, ethical, and political issues; interdisciplinary collaboration; organization-wide projects; and professional trends.
Manuscript Review
JONA is a refereed journal. Published manuscripts have been reviewed, selected, and developed with the guidance of our editorial advisors. Manuscript content is assessed for relevance, accuracy, and usefulness to administrators in service settings.
Manuscripts are reviewed with the understanding that neither the manuscript nor its essential content has been published or is under consideration by others. The review process starts on the first day of every month. For example, February 1 is the start of the review process for all manuscripts received during January. Publication decisions and author notification occur within 8 weeks from the beginning of the review process.
Authorship Responsibility
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. Each author should have contributed significantly to the conception and design of the work and writing the manuscript to take public responsibility for it. The editor may request justification of assignment of authorship. Names of those who contributed general support or technical help may be listed in an acknowledgment, placed after narrative, before references.
Query Letters
Although not necessary, query letters allow the editor to indicate interest in, and developmental advice on, manuscript topics.
Manuscript Preparation for Online Submission
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through our Web-based Editorial Manager system. Go to http://JONA.EdMgr.com/. Login and select "Submit A New Manuscript." Then follow the instructions on the screen for submitting your manuscript. New user and author tutorials are located on home page.
Unless otherwise stated here, prepare manuscripts according to the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style (9th edition). The maximum manuscript length is 18 pages, including figures, tables, and references. As a general rule, an 18 page paper should have no more than 4 figures or tables. For examples of style, please see a recent issue of the journal.
Line and Page Numbering
Since we no longer receive a paper copy of the manuscript, it is critical that you use your word processor's "insert continuous line numbering" feature. This will apply a unique line number to each line in your manuscript and references to which we will refer when giving you comments about your manuscript's content. In addition, page numbers should be inserted on each page's upper right corner.
Format
Do not indent paragraphs. Do not justify the right margin. Do not use running headers or footers. Subdivide the manuscript into main sections by inserting subheads in the text. Subheads should be succinct, meaningful, and similar in sense and tone.
Title/Author Biography Page
The title/biography page should ONLY include:
- Title of Manuscript
- Author(s) names and credentials (highest earned credential only, followed by RN, and certifications (optional).
- The words "Author(s') Affiliation(s)" followed by a colon and the following (as appropriate): job title (If more than one author is from the same institution, list job title first, person's name in parentheses, then a comma followed by the next person's job title, etc.), department, institution, city, state.
- Corresponding Author (use this heading). For publication, it is preferable to use a work address. You may include an e-mail address (optional) at end of your mailing address.
