BMC Nursing

BMC Nursing is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of evidence-based nursing care; nursing research methods; nursing service delivery, utilization, and evaluation; nursing administration and human resources.  

BMC Nursing considers articles on the following aspects of nursing:    

• Evidence-based nursing care:  
  All aspects of evidence-based knowledge to inform and transform nursing practice in all settings.  Please note that research on specific conditions/diseases or patient populations will be considered if there is a robust background and discussion on nurses’ involvement, implications and recommendations for nurses.   
• Nursing research methods:  
  Topics include, but are not limited to: ethics, subject recruitment/retention, sampling, development and testing of psychometric tools, multi-cultural testing studies, meta-analyses techniques, and protocol development.  
• Service organisations, utilization and collaborative care:  
  Resource usage and reduce service delivery costs while maintaining high-quality care, teamwork among healthcare providers, patients, caregivers, and community resources to ensure effective communication and coordinated care. 
• Nursing and interprofessional education:  
  Curriculum and training design for nursing students and staff, integration of new technology in nursing education, competency-based education approaches, strategies for supporting and measuring the achievement of nursing students and staff. 

As a BMC Series journal, BMC Nursing does not make editorial decisions based on the perceived interest or potential impact of a study. Manuscripts are considered for publication if they are scientifically valid. For research articles, this includes having a clearly defined and sound research question, appropriate methodology and analysis, and adherence to community-agreed standards relevant to the field.
