Author Guidelines

 

TYPE OF MANUSCRIPT

Original Articles

Original articles should report on original clinical studies or research not previously published or under consideration for publication elsewhere. The text should not exceed 7000 words and should include a list of authors and their affiliations, corresponding author, acknowledgements and figure legends, with an abstract of a maximum of 250 words, a list of a minimum of 25 references primarily from international journals indexed by Scopus or Web of Science, and a maximum five figures/tables (see below for more details on the layout).


Systematic Reviews

Systematic reviews are exhaustive, critical assessments of evidence from different data sources in relation to a given subject in the area of nursing. A systematic search of the relevant data sources should be carried out and the items collected should be carefully evaluated for inclusion based on apriori defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. A description and an analytical graphic representation of the process should be provided. The specific features of the participants' or patients' populations of the studies included in the review should be described as well as the measures of exposure and the outcome with indication towards the corresponding data sources. A structured abstract is required (the same as for short reviews). The text must not exceed 7,000 words including the acknowledgments, with no more than four tables and/or figures and a minimum of 40 references.


Meta-analyses
Meta-analyses should follow the same guidelines for systematic reviews. They are expected to provide exhaustive information and statistical assessment of the pooled estimates of pre-defined outcomes, study heterogeneity and quality, possible publication bias, meta-regression, and subgroup analyses when and where appropriate. Depending on the type of study, the authors are invited to submit PRISMA flow diagrams or MOOSE checklists. Both systematic reviews and meta-analyses will be dealt with as original articles are, as far as the editorial process is concerned.

 

PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT

Title Page

The title should describe the summary of the research (concise, informative, no abbreviations, and a maximum of 15 words).

The authorship of articles should be limited to those who have contributed sufficiently to take on a level of public responsibility for the content. Provided should be the full names of authors (without academic title); author's affiliation (name[s] of department[s] and institution[s]); the corresponding author's name, mailing address, telephone, and fax numbers, and e-mail address. The corresponding author is the person responsible for any correspondence during the publication process and post-publication.

Please upload the title page separately from the main document.

 

 

Abstract

A concise and factual abstract is required. The structure of the abstract is limited to 250 words and should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal result, and major conclusions or major headings: introduction, method, results and conclusion.

  1. Introduction: One or two sentences on the background and purpose of the study.
  2. Method: Describe the research design, settings (please do not mention the actual location but use geographic type or number if necessary), and participants (details of how the study population was selected, inclusion and exclusion criteria, numbers entering and leaving the study, and any relevant clinical and demographic characteristics).
  3. Results: Report the main outcome(s)/findings including (where relevant) levels of statistical significance and confidence intervals.
  4. Conclusions: Should relate to the study aims and hypotheses.

Keywords: Immediately after the abstract, provide minimum three and maximum five keywords and avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts. The keywords should refer to https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/search

 

Word Processing Formats

Preferred formats for the text and tables of your manuscript are Word DOC. The text should be double-spaced throughout with standard one inch margin (2.54 cm). Text should be standard
font (i.e., Times New Roman) at 12-point.

 

Text
The body text should be blinding. Do not include any author identifying information in your manuscript, including the author's own citations. The text should be structured as follows: introduction: The problems of study, scale, chronology, and state of the arts of the study should be explained. Please note that the last paragraph of introduction should state the aims or purpose of study. Methods: The design, sample, variables, instruments, procedures, analysis, and ethical consideration should be explained. Results: Report the main outcome(s)/findings including, where relevant, levels of statistical significance and confidence intervals. Discussion: Should explain the findings related to fact, theory, and opinion. Conclusion: Should relate to the study aims, hypotheses, finding, and suggestion for further research. Footnotes are not advisable; their contents should be incorporated into the text. Use only standard abbreviations; the use of nonstandard abbreviations can be confusing to readers. Avoid abbreviations in the title of the manuscript. The spelled-out abbreviation followed by the abbreviation in parenthesis should be used on the first mention unless the abbreviation is a standard unit of measurement. If a sentence begins with a number, it should be spelled out.

 

Acknowledgment (Optional)

Acknowledgments should be limited to the appropriate professionals who contributed to the paper, including technical help and financial or material support, as well as any general support by a department chairperson.

 

Declaration of conflicting interests

It is the policy of Pediomaternal Nursing Journal to require a declaration of conflicting interests from all authors enabling a statement to be carried within the paginated pages of all published articles. 

Please ensure that a ‘Declaration of Conflicting Interests' statement is included at the end of your manuscript, after any acknowledgements and prior to the references. If no conflict exists, please state that ‘The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest'. For guidance on conflict of interest statements, please see the ICMJE recommendations here.

 

Tables And Figures

Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals; any captions should be brief, clearly indicating the purpose or content of each table. Manuscripts with over five tables in total, or very large tables, can be submitted as Supplementary Data and will be included in the online version of your article

 

Please do not:

  1. Supply files optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PITC, WPG); these typically have a low number of pixels and limited set of colors.
  2. Supply files that are too low in resolution.
  3. Use tables with pictures.
