Author Guidelines
Dear JJNS authors and reviewers:
Here is a quick note regarding COVID-19 outbreak situation and possible delays during the editorial process of JJNS. The JJNS editorial office is running smoothly at present, but the global circumstances are changing daily. We are asking authors for your patience in receiving decisions on your submissions as we expect delays with review comments collection. For reviewers, you may receive automatic reminders sent from the online submission/review system with your unfinished assignments. As we all understand it is a difficult time, we will await your comments but it is also good for you to contact the editorial office and tell us a possible date you complete review so we will adjust the schedule.
William L. Holzemer, RN, PhD, FAAN
Editor-in-Chief, Japan Journal of Nursing Science
AIMS AND SCOPE
The Japan Journal of Nursing Science is the official English language journal of the Japan Academy of Nursing Science. The purpose of the Journal is to provide a mechanism to share knowledge related to improving health care and promoting the development of nursing.
The Journal seeks original manuscripts reporting scholarly work on the art and science of nursing. Original Articles may be empirical and qualitative studies, Review Articles, Methodological Articles, Brief Reports, Case Studies and Letters to the Editor.
1. Original Article
Definition: Original research, consisting of Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. Original work must provide at least 10 references and an explanation about research findings.
Length: Should be approximately 5000 words (not counting the abstract, references, tables and/or figures).
2. Review Article
Definition: Critical evaluations of material about current research that has already been published by organizing, integrating and evaluating previously published material. Re-analyses as meta-analysis and systemic reviews are encouraged.
Length: Should not exceed 4000 words.
3. Methodological Article
Definition: New methodological approaches, modifications of existing methods, and discussions of quantitative and data analytic approaches and new qualitative methods/approaches.
Length: Should not exceed 4000 words.
4. Others
Definition: Brief Reports, Case Studies, Comments, Letters to the Editor and Replies on previously published articles will be considered.
Length: Should not exceed 2000 words.
EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to the Journal’s readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are double-blind peer reviewed by two or more anonymous reviewers and the Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. They should be written in a clear, concise, direct style. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of content, the Editor or the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
ARTICLE PREPARATION SUPPORT
Wiley Editing Services offers expert help with English Language Editing, as well as translation, manuscript formatting, figure illustration, figure formatting, and graphical abstract design – so you can submit your manuscript with confidence.
Also, check out our resources for Preparing Your Article for general guidance about writing and preparing your manuscript.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Thank you for your interest in Japan Journal of Nursing Science. Please read the complete Author Guidelines carefully prior to submission, including the section on copyright. Note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
Full text contents fully available via the internet are deemed to have already been published, therefore a dissertation deposited to an institutional repository will not be received for consideration for publication.
Once you have prepared your submission in accordance with the Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/JJNS. The submission system will prompt you to use an ORCiD (a unique author identifier) to help distinguish your work from that of other researchers. Click here to find out more.
Click here for more details on how to use http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jjns
For help with submissions, please contact: Editorial Office jjns-editorial@primeassociates.jp
Note:
Manuscript should be double spaced.
Material that might identify authorship of the paper should not be included in the manuscript file. The title page and specific acknowledgement have to be in a separate ‘title page’ file, which will not be for review.
Include abstract at the beginning of the main manuscript file as well as entering it in the designated space.
Authors reporting studies involving human subjects must include IRB approval situation in the Methods section. The IRB name, however, should not be mentioned for double blind review.
Tables and figures should not be embedded in the manuscript. They should be prepared in separate files.
Manuscripts should be presented in an appropriate order. Please sort out the order using the order button and make sure all the manuscript parts are in place in the final PDF for review.
When submitting a revised manuscript, a point-by-point response to reviewer’s comments is required in the Author’s Response section. In the manuscript, also highlight your changes by using bold or colored text. Author’s name should not be included in the Author’s Response section for double blind review.
Track change function must not be used when a revised manuscript is submitted.
We look forward to your submission.
CLINICAL TRIALS
JJNS requires that all clinical trials submitted for its consideration are registered in a publicly accessible database such as http://clinicaltrials.gov/. Authors should include the name of the trial register and their clinical trial registration number at the end of their abstract. If the trial is not registered, or was registered retrospectively, the reasons for this should be explained.
CHANGES TO AUTHORSHIP
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submission.
Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the Editor-in-Chief.
Editor-in-Chief must receive the following from the corresponding author:
(a) the reason for the change in author list
(b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement.
COVER LETTER
Papers are accepted for publication in the journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. This must be stated in the cover letter.
TITLE PAGE
The title page of the paper should contain (i) the title; (ii) the full names of the authors; (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out; and (iv) the full postal and email address, and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent. The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied.
This journal uses double-blind review, which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa. To facilitate this, please include the followings also in the title page at the submission stage: Acknowledgments, Disclosure statement, Author contributions.
Authors must declare any financial support or relationships that may pose a conflict of interest. It is the responsibility of the authors to disclose to the Editor any significant financial or personal interests they may have in products, technology or methodology mentioned in their manuscript. This information will be deemed confidential and will only be disclosed to manuscript reviewers if, in the opinion of the Editor, the information is directly pertinent for an informed review.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Authors must follow the ethical standards for human experimentation established in the Declaration of Helsinki (as revised in Fortaleza, Brazil, October 2013).
The authors reporting studies involving human subjects must have obtained approval from appropriate institutional ethics board before any data collection to be reported in the Methods section. Upon request from the Journal editors, the author(s) must provide copies of the appropriate documentation.
If the study is exempt from institutional review board approval, or if your institution has no mechanism to approve protection of human subjects, a document of explanation signed by an appropriate institutional personnel must be submitted along with the manuscript and mentioned in the Methods section of the manuscript.
All investigations on human subjects must include a statement that the subject gave informed consent. Patient anonymity should be preserved. Photographs need to be cropped sufficiently to prevent human subjects being recognized (or an eye bar should be used).
In general, submission of a case report should be accompanied by the written consent of the subject (or parent/ guardian) before publication; this is particularly important where photographs are to be used or in cases where the unique nature of the incident reported makes it possible for the patient to be identified. While the Editorial Board recognizes that it may not always be possible or appropriate to seek such consent, the onus will be on the authors to demonstrate that this exception applies in their case.
Any experiments involving animals must be demonstrated to be ethically acceptable and where relevant conform to national guidelines for animal usage in research.
The Japan Journal of Nursing Science requires that the clinical trials submitted for its consideration are registered in a publicly accessible database. Authors should include the name of the trial register and their clinical trial registration number at the end of their abstract. If you wish the editor to consider an unregistered trial, please explain briefly why the trial has not been registered. For author reference, examples of public clinical trial registries include: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov; https://www.ifpma.org/; http://isrctn.org/; http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm
CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT
Authors should declare any financial support or relationship that may pose conflict of interest as a Conflict of Interest Statement in the Disclosure section of your manuscript. These might include relevant financial interests (for example, patent ownership, stock ownership, consultancies, or speaker’s fees), or personal, political, or religious interests. The absence of any interest to disclose must be stated also. Editors and peer reviewers should also disclose interests that might appear to affect their ability to present or review work objectively.
The Conflict of Interest Form is available from here and needs to be submitted by all authors individually. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining completed forms from all authors of the manuscript. Download the form to your computer, open the form in Adobe Acrobat Reader, fill it out and then save it to your computer. Author statement form by one representative author is also required. Please download Author Statement Form from here. Submit the forms at Step 2 of the submission procedure as well as your manuscript.

STYLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts should follow the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition (2010), as shown at http://www.apastyle.org/index.aspx, and the Vancouver agreement detailed in the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors’ revised ‘Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication’, as presented at http://www.ICMJE.org/.
Spelling
The journal uses US spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Merriam–Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
Units
All measurements must be given in Système International (SI) units.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be used sparingly – only where they ease the reader’s task by reducing repetition of long, technical terms. Initially, use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, use the abbreviation only.
Trade names
Chemical substances should be referred to by the generic name only. Trade names should not be used. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names. If proprietary drugs have been used in the study, refer to these by their generic name, mentioning the proprietary name, and the name and location of the manufacturer, in parentheses.
Genetic nomenclature
Standard genetic nomenclature should be used. For further information, including relevant websites, authors should refer to the genetic nomenclature guide in Trends in Genetics (Elsevier Science, 1998).
Nucleotide sequence data can be submitted in electronic form to any of the three major collaborative databases: DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) or GenBank. It is only necessary to submit to one database as data are exchanged between DDBJ, EMBL and GenBank on a daily basis. The suggested wording for referring to accession number information is: ‘These sequence data have been submitted to the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession number U12345.’ Addresses are as follows:
DDBJ: http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp
EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Submissions: http://www.ebi.ac.uk
GenBank: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
PARTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page; (ii) abstract and key words; (iii) text; (iv) references; (v) appendices; (vi) figure legends; (vii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes); and (viii) figures. Footnotes to the text are not allowed and any such material should be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter.
Title
The title should be short, informative and contain the major key words. Do not use abbreviations in the title. A short running title (less than 40 characters including spaces) should be provided also.
See Wiley's best practice SEO tips
Abstract and key words
All articles (except Comments, Replies and Letters to the Editor) must have a structured abstract that states in 250 words or fewer. Divide the abstract with the headings: Aim, Methods, Results, Conclusions. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
No more than six key words, for the purposes of indexing, should be supplied below the abstract, in alphabetical order, and should be taken from those recommended by the US National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser list.
Text
Authors should use the following subheadings to divide the sections of their manuscript: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors’ industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions also should be acknowledged. Personal thanks and thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Disclosure
At the time of submission, each author must disclose and describe any involvement, financial or otherwise, that may potentially bias his or her work. Disclosure must be provided under the heading titled 'Disclosure' which should appear after the 'Acknowledgments' section and before the 'References' section. The absence of any interest to disclose also must be stated.
Authors' contributions
In order to give appropriate credit to each author of a paper, the individual contributions of authors to the manuscript should be specified in this section. JJNS adheres to the definition of authorship set up by The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). An ‘author’ is generally considered to be someone who has made substantive intellectual contributions to a published study. To qualify as an author one should: (i) have made substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; (ii) have been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and (iii) have given final approval of the version to be published. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Acquisition of funding, collection of data or general supervision of the research group, alone, does not justify authorship. We suggest the following kind of format (please use initials to refer to each author's contribution): ‘A. B. and C. D. contributed to the conception and design of this study; E. F. performed the statistical analysis and drafted the manuscript; and G. H. critically reviewed the manuscript and supervised the whole study process. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.’ All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support.
References
References should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). This means in text citations should follow the author-date method whereby the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998). The complete reference list should appear alphabetically by name at the end of the paper.
A sample of the most common entries in reference lists appears below. Please note that a DOI should be provided for all references where available. For more information about APA referencing style, please refer to the APA FAQ. Please note that for journal articles, issue numbers are not included unless each issue in the volume begins with page one.
A full publication title should be provided.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.

PUBLICATION FEES
There are no publication fees associated with this Journal.
OVER PAGE CHARGE
Over page charge: For non-member authored articles, there is an over page charge of ¥10,000 per printed page for articles of 12 pages or more. The number of pages is determined at proof stage. Without payment, the article will not be published. Over page charge will be waived if the first author is a member of the Japan Academy of Nursing Science. Sample article is here. (For your reference: Preparing to fit 11 pages is about 5,000 words for main text, 2-3 tables or figures and 30 references)
EARLY VIEW
The Japan Journal of Nursing Science is covered by Wiley’s Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in an online issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors’ final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue but a DOI or eLocator, which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After online publication, the DOI and eLocator remain valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at http://www.doi.org/faq.html.
