Guide for Authors
Purpose
JNP: The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, offers high quality, peer-reviewed clinical articles, original research, continuing education, short communications, case reports and departments that help nurse practitioners (NPs) excel as providers of primary and acute care across the lifespan. Each issue meets their practice needs and encourages discussion and feedback with thought-provoking articles on controversial issues and topics. JNP supports advocacy by demonstrating the role that policy plays in shaping practice and delivering outcomes.
Submission requirements
Papers should be written in a scholarly format using references generally no older than 5 years. Writing should be at the level for physicians and experienced NPs.
Please prepare the following items for submission:
1. Abstract (100 words only)
2. Highlights
3. Keywords
4. Cover letter - indicate who you are, a very brief summary of your article, and why you believe it would fit with JNP's mission; also state that the manuscript has not been and will not be submitted elsewhere for publication.
5. Conflict of interest statement and form found here
6. Title page
7. Word count - create a page that lists only the total number of words in the submission, not just the main text.
8. Blinded manuscript
9. Tables and figures (if appropriate)
Article Types
Except as noted, all articles should be limited to 4,500 total words, inclusive of all headings, titles, author information, keywords, abstract, text, references, tables, and graphics. Authors should refer to the EQUATOR network (https://www.equator-network.org/) and follow the appropriate reporting guidelines for main study design. Authors will be guided stepwise through the submission process and must choose a category from the following options:
Original Research - follow standard research format using headings Introduction, Background and Significance (Review of literature), Purpose, Methods, Results, Discussion, Limitations, Conclusion. For quantitative studies, include a power analysis used to calculate needed sample sizes.
Brief Report - focus on practice improvement; shorter research reports (pilot or feasibility studies), program evaluations and policy issues. Articles are limited to 2,500 words.
Case Studies - Case studies may be presented in 2 formats: 1) case challenge or 2) case report. Case challenges should be written to stimulate interest in a diagnostic dilemma that experienced NPs might encounter in clinical practice (not something that would be extremely rare). The focus is on the diagnostic reasoning process and must follow this prescribed template. Case reports should focus on a particular aspect of assessment, diagnosis, evaluation, or management and follow the recommended template found here. Articles in both formats are limited to 2,500 words. Both formats require patient anonymity and permission from the patient or family if the patient is not de-identified. IRB approval for the presentation of case reports may be required and is the author's responsibility. Please contact Associate Editor Courtney Pitts at courtney.j.pitts@vanderbilt.edu with questions.
Clinical Feature - focus on the latest evidence-based information about the presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of a particular clinical problem relevant to NP practice. Publication priority will be given to articles demonstrating an interdisciplinary or interprofessional team approach.
Policy Feature - identify issues, trends, barriers, legislative successes, or recommendations that affect NPs' ability to practice to the full extent of their education, experience and certification.
By Faculty for Faculty - Articles that describe curricular design, implementation, evaluation, mentoring, precepting, or other components of NP academic or staff development education programs. Outcomes from at least 2 cohorts of participants or over a calendar year of the approach or innovation's use should be included. Any statistics used in the analysis would be appropriate to the project's scope and design. Manuscripts may include links to mobile apps or audios, sample forms, instructions, or similar documents. Manuscript must be limited to 3000 words (not including supplemental content). Please contact Department Editor Diane Wink at dmwink@mac.com with questions.
Department - after working directly with the department editor (see following list of emails) and receiving his or her direction and approval, papers less than 1,000 words may be submitted for the following sections.
• By Faculty for Faculty: Diane Wink, dmwink@mac.com.
• Point/Counterpoint: Don Gardenier, dgardenier@gmail.com.
• Prescription Pad: Tim Nguyen, timnguyenpharmd@gmail.com. Updates from common medications to novel treatments for primary care complaints, geared toward experienced prescribing clinicians.
• Quality Care for Women's Health: Denise Link, deniseg.link@gmail.com.
Letter to the Editor - Address comments to Editor-in-Chief, Julee Waldrop at: jwaldropjnp@gmail.com.
Ethics in publishing
Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
JNP and Elsevier adhere to the highest standards with regard to research integrity and in particular the avoidance of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism. It is therefore essential that authors, before they submit a paper, carefully read the Ethical guidelines. When submitting a paper, authors will be prompted as to whether they have read and agree to these guidelines before proceeding further with their submission. Authors are reminded that, where they draw upon material from another source, they must either put that material in the form of a quote or write it entirely in their own words. In both cases, they must explicitly cite the source, including the specific page number in the case of a quote or a particular point.
Studies in humans and animals
If the work involves the use of human subjects, the author should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments involving humans. The manuscript should be in line with the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals and aim for the inclusion of representative human populations (sex, age and ethnicity) as per those recommendations. The terms sex and gender should be used correctly.
Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and should be carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments, or the National Institutes of Health guide for the care and use of Laboratory animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978) and the authors should clearly indicate in the manuscript that such guidelines have been followed. The sex of animals must be indicated, and where appropriate, the influence (or association) of sex on the results of the study.
Conflict of Interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. During the online submission process, you will be required to upload the Conflict of Interest form here. Use a separate form for you and each coauthor. JNP also requires all authors to acknowledge, on the Title Page of their manuscript, all funding sources and/or granting agencies that supported their work, as well as all institutional or corporate affiliations of all the authors and to disclose to the Editor any commercial associations that could pose a conflict of interest or financial bias. These include employment, consultation fees, grants or other funding, patent licensing arrangements, company stock, payments for conducting or publicizing a study, paid expert testimony, travel, honoraria, gifts, or meals. If the article is accepted for publication, the Editor will determine how any conflict of interest should be disclosed. See also https://www.elsevier.com/conflictsofinterest.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Use of inclusive language
Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Articles should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader, should contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of race, sex, culture or any other characteristic, and should use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, for instance by using 'he or she', 'his/her' instead of 'he' or 'his', and by making use of job titles that are free of stereotyping (e.g. 'chairperson' instead of 'chairman' and 'flight attendant' instead of 'stewardess').
Patient centered language should be used (e.g. the patient with diabetes instead of the diabetic patient).
Terms that do not specifically describe the role of Nurse Practitioner should not be used (e.g. physician extender, mid-level provider, advanced practice provider). The term physician should be used if authors are referring to a medical doctor.
Authorship
All authors should have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (1) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, (3) final approval of the version to be submitted.
Changes to authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original 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 journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
Article transfer service
This journal is part of our Article Transfer Service. This means that if the Editor feels your article is more suitable in one of our other participating journals, then you may be asked to consider transferring the article to one of those. If you agree, your article will be transferred automatically on your behalf with no need to reformat. Please note that your article will be reviewed again by the new journal. More information.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' (see more information on this). An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' form or a link to the online version of this agreement.
Subscribers may reproduce tables of contents or prepare lists of articles including abstracts for internal circulation within their institutions. Permission of the Publisher is required for resale or distribution outside the institution and for all other derivative works, including compilations and translations. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases.
For gold open access articles: Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'License Agreement' (more information). Permitted third party reuse of gold open access articles is determined by the author's choice of user license.
Author rights
As an author you (or your employer or institution) have certain rights to reuse your work. More information.

Role of the funding source
You are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement then this should be stated.
Accountability
JNP requires all authors to acknowledge, on the Title Page of their manuscript, all funding sources and/or granting agencies that supported their work, as well as all institutional or corporate affiliations of all the authors. Authors are also required to disclose to the Editor, in a covering letter at the time of submission, any commercial associations that could pose a conflict of interest or financial bias. These include consultation fees, patent licensing arrangements, company stock, payments for conducting or publicizing a study, travel, honoraria, gifts, or meals. If the article is accepted for publication, the Editor will determine how any conflict of interest should be disclosed. Authors are expected to fulfill the requirements of their employer's publication policy before submitting their manuscript. The Journal follows the ICMJE's Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org).
Open access
Please visit our Open Access page for more information.
Language (usage and editing services)
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing service available from Elsevier's Author Services.
Informed consent and patient details
Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in the paper. Appropriate consents, permissions and releases must be obtained where an author wishes to include case details or other personal information or images of patients and any other individuals in an Elsevier publication. Written consents must be retained by the author but copies should not be provided to the journal. Only if specifically requested by the journal in exceptional circumstances (for example if a legal issue arises) the author must provide copies of the consents or evidence that such consents have been obtained. For more information, please review the Elsevier Policy on the Use of Images or Personal Information of Patients or other Individuals. Unless you have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of the article and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission.
Also, please note that if an accepted article identifies a particular facility, patient/client, etc, the author is responsible for securing written authorization to use that name.
Submission
Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files. The system converts your article files to a single PDF file used in the peer-review process. Editable files (e.g., Word, LaTeX) are required to typeset your article for final publication. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, is sent by e-mail.
Submit your article
Please submit your article via https://www.editorialmanager.com/TJNP/default.aspx.
Formatting requirements
There are no strict formatting requirements but all manuscripts must contain the essential elements needed to convey your manuscript, for example Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions, Artwork and Tables with Captions.
If your article includes any Videos and/or other Supplementary material, this should be included in your initial submission for peer review purposes.
Divide the article into clearly defined sections.
Review process
Articles deemed potentially publishable will undergo double-blind peer review, which means that both the reviewer and author name(s) are not allowed to be revealed to one another for a manuscript under review. The identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa. For more information please refer to https://www.elsevier.com/reviewers/peer-review. To facilitate this, please include the following separately:
Title page (with author details): This should include the title, authors' names and affiliations, and a complete address for the corresponding author including telephone and e-mail address.
Blinded manuscript (no author details): The main body of the paper (including the references, figures, tables and any acknowledgments) should not include any identifying information, such as the authors' names or affiliations.
Reviewers are asked to return their response within 2 weeks but often require longer. Almost all submissions require revision, which is to be completed within 30 days. Because of the intense competition among articles, JNP has a commitment to make publication decisions quickly; unrevised articles will not be allowed to remain indefinitely in the system.
Peer review
This journal operates a double anonymized review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all of the journal's usual procedures, with peer review handled independently of the relevant editor and their research groups. More information on types of peer review.
