In the Journal , you'll find principles and practice of the intravenous nursing specialty, research studies, feature articles on leading healthcare issues, and new infusion technology. The Editorial Review Board of the Journal of Infusion Nursing reviews the clinical content of manuscripts submitted to the Journal for publication. Reviewers are not required to address editorial concerns such as grammar, punctuation, and style. However, when the wording of a manuscript directly affects the presentation of the subject matter, reviewers are asked to address this in their reviews of articles. Each manuscript received by the INS Publications Department is sent to at least three reviewers, who are selected based on their availability and particular areas of expertise.
Reviewers receive an average of four manuscripts to review each year.
Although there is no limit on the number of manuscripts the Publications Department may send to a particular reviewer, the Journal editorial staff divides the responsibility as evenly as possible among the members of the Editorial Review Board. Reviewers may turn down a request for a manuscript review based on scheduling constraints or lack of insight on a particular subject. The Editorial Review Board is composed primarily of certified intravenous nurses, pharmacists, and physicians. Reviewers have told us they look forward to reading and evaluating the work of their colleagues. They enjoy the opportunity to review important new research and help authors work toward publication in the Journal.
