Why Publish in JAN?

Journal of Advanced Nursing is the one of the world's most widely disseminated international nursing journals publishing high quality research and scholarships.

• Eclectic Content
  JAN does not seek to impose one model for practice, or give preference to particular research designs and approaches. It is advanced nursing when nurses question their practice within specific cultural, political, economic, social and technological context, asking whether their practice is evidence based, and as effective, efficient and compassionate as possible.
