Nordisk Sygeplejeforskning/Nordisk sykepleieforskning – Nordic Nursing Research er et vitenskapelig og fagfellebedømt tidsskrift på nivå 1. Det har som formål å styrke sykepleiefagets vitenskapelige grunnlag gjennom å formidle og spre kunnskap om klinisk og teoretisk forskning og utvikling knyttet til sykepleie, og de vitenskapelige metoder som benyttes i forskningen.

Tidsskriftet publiserer vitenskapelige artikler basert på prosjekter på ulike nivåer. Tidsskriftet publiserer også gjerne essays. Artikler kan publiseres på dansk, norsk, svensk og engelsk.

Tidsskriftet henvender seg til forskere innen sykepleievitenskap og helsefag, undervisere, sykepleiere i klinisk praksis og andre fagprofesjonelle.

Tidsskriftet eies av Dansk Selskab for Sygeplejeforskning og Norsk selskap for sykepleieforskning NSF. Tidsskriftet publiserte sin første årgang i 2011, og er resultatet av en sammenslåing av Tidskrift for sygeplejeforskning og Norsk tidsskrift for sykepleieforskning; to tidsskrifter med henholdsvis 26 og 12 årganger bak seg. 

Kvalitetsvurdering
Tidsskriftet praktiserer «dobbelt blind» fagfellevurdering, hvor verken fagfellene eller forfatteren kjenner hverandres identitet. I tillegg vurderes artiklene av redaksjonen, og endelig avgjørelse om publisering foretas av ansvarlig redaktør.

3.3.5. References

Nordic Nursing Research uses the Vancouver style (numbered style) as a reference tool. References in the text are numbered consecutively and a numerically ordered reference list is given at the end of the manuscript and should not exceed 40 references. For guidelines to the Vancouver style, this page may be consulted https://innsida.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/Norsk/Bruke+referansestilen+Vancouver  Authors are encouraged to use a reference tool.

References in the text

Regarding references in the main text, the reference number is written in round parentheses (1) following mention of the author, for example:

Morse (1) or Redmond (2) asserts that the….

When citing directly, the number and page number are written right after a citation with a comma or full stop, but before a colon or semi-colon, for example:

…. a new definition (3, p. 12-3).

We prefer this possibility (3); as….

References to several works are noted in numerical order in the following way: (1-5). Alternatively, if the order is broken, it is separated with a comma, but no space between, for example:

(1,3,8) or (2-5,8,10). Several studies (2-4,9) show…

Reference list

References are placed after the main text, at the very end, in the numerical order that they are noted in the text. If there are six or fewer authors, all the authors are mentioned. If there are more than six authors, the first six are mentioned followed by “et al.” This is the case for all types of references. Remember that journal titles are shortened in Vancouver style (for example: Brit J Surg).

Example of references to articles:

1. Ansaloni L, Catena F, Chattat R, Fortuna D, Franceschi C, Mascitti P, et al. Risk factors and incidence of post-operative delirium in elderly patients after elective and emergency surgery. Brit J Surg. 2010; 97(2): 273-280. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.6843

DOI-references

References should always include a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) if applicable. A DOI should be a clickable URL, inserted at the end of the reference in the literature list. If you are unsure of the DOI for a given reference, or whether a DOI for the reference is available, you can search for title, author name, etc. at http://search.crossref.org/

3.4. Tables and figures

Tables and figures (max 4 in total) should be presented numbered, in editable documents (word or docs), in separate files. Please include instructions in the main text where the tables and figures should be placed with numbers corresponding to the table and figure files. Submitted images of charts and illustrations must have a minimum 300 dpi in the size it should be published. The authors are responsible for obtaining permissions for use of illustrations.

3.5. EQUATOR-checklist

For scientific papers, we require authors to adhere to the relevant research reporting guidelines found on the EQUATOR network: https://www.equator-network.org/ for accurate and complete reporting of the research.

The EQUATOR-checklists to be used where applicable:

• CONSORT checklist for reports of randomised trials and cluster randomised trials
• TREND checklist for non-randomised controlled trials
• PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses
• STROBE checklist for observational research
• COREQ checklist for qualitative studies

Please state in your manuscript abstract which checklist you have used using the short title (e.g. COREQ), where available, and cite the checklist for reporting in the Methods section with reference to the bibliographic reference of the checklist.

In the checklist, please state the manuscript page number on which the individual items of the guidelines have been addressed and attach the checklist when you submit your manuscript for review.

4. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

To submit your manuscript, please log on to our ScholarOne site: https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/uf-sygepleje

4.1. Review process

After securing that all relevant files are submitted (title page; implications for nursing, main text file; tables, figures and EQUATOR-checklist) the editor will consider the manuscript with relevance and quality in mind. If the manuscript is deemed relevant and of sufficiently high quality, it will be considered by two peer editors and further by our reviewers. Nordic Nursing Research practices double blind peer review; that neither the author’s nor the peer’s identity is made known to either party.

If the editors and reviewers decide for minor or major revisions, the authors will have two weeks to respond to the recommendations. Comments to reviewers should be addressed in a separate file with the reviewers’ comments and the authors’ responses in bullet-point. The corrections should be made visible in the manuscript using the colour red and NOT auto-correction. If the paper is rejected for publication, the authors will be notified equally.

The decision to publish is made by the Editor-in-Chief with advice from the associate editors and the reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to the final decision regarding acceptance and, on occasion, we may choose not to publish despite recommendations from reviewers (or vice versa).'

4.2. Ethics

All content in the journal should be characterized by scientific integrity and follow current laws and ethical guidelines (see for example http://www.etikkom.no/). In particular, content should be in reference to the Declaration of Helsinki formulated by The World Medical Association (WMA) (https://www.etikkom.no/forskningsetiske-retningslinjer/Medisin-og-helse/Helsinki-deklarasjonen/). All authors are required to comply with the Vancouver rules according to authorship and clarify their contributions in the title page.

Authors that submit manuscripts to Nordic Nursing Research must guarantee the following:

• The manuscript as a whole or parts of the manuscript is not published other places.
• The manuscript is not under evaluation in another journal or quoted in other journals.
• Authors have included relevant information about finance, sponsorships, institutional ties, potential conflicts of interests.
• All persons mentioned in the manuscript have given their consent.
• That requirements regarding copyright have been followed.

The editorial board ensures that content published in the journal maintains a high scholarly standard and complies with international ethical standards for academic publishing. The journal complies with the guidelines formulated by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

5. PUBLICATION PROCESS AFTER ACCEPTANCE

5.1. Proofs

After the paper is accepted for publication, the corresponding author will receive an e-mail from the editorial office with instructions for final proof reading. It is important that the authors adhere to the limited timeframe for the final proof to meet rapid publication.
