Instructions for Authors
Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners
Aims and Scope
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly scholarly, peer-reviewed journal for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and is the official journal for all members of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP; see www.aanp.org for more information). The JAANP supports the mission of AANP to lead NPs in transforming patient-centered health care with a vision of high quality health care for all by the patient's provider of choice.
The mission of the JAANP is to help serve the information needs of nurse practitioners (NPs) and others with an interest in advanced practice nursing. The readers of the JAANP include the members of AANP and other advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), who provide care in domestic and international settings where they serve clients of all ages, manage a broad spectrum of acute and chronic conditions, prescribe a variety of medications and treatments, and function to the full scope of advanced practice nursing in their respective states and countries. Our organizational core values promote integrity, excellence, professionalism, leadership, and service, which is reflected in the way our members have embraced advanced education, lifelong learning, and the continued evolution of advanced practice nursing.
Areas of Focus
The JAANP encourages submission of scholarly articles addressing a broad range of topics appropriate to advanced practice nursing in the United States and internationally. Of particular interest are:
* quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research studies answering new and novel problems;
* outcomes research addressing in particular outcomes directly affected by APRNs/NPs;
* cost-effectiveness or economic analysis of health care interventions used by APRNs/NPs;
* systematic reviews and meta-analyses of scientific literature of the benefits and harms of health care interventions;
* education research particularly related to NPs in DNP programs;
* health policy analysis related to advanced practice nursing in state, national, or international environments;
* practice improvement or quality improvement projects;
* other new and evolving advanced practice nursing issues
* International submissions that address new or novel advanced practice nursing issues throughout the world are also encouraged.
Article Types
Type Description
Brief Report A manuscript with a limited focus will be considered for a Brief Report format. Topics must be of broad interest to NPs
Clinical/case study Clinically focused articles will only be considered if the content is unique, cutting-edge, pertains to a special topic or themed issue, or is appropriate for a CE offering. It is a good idea to query the editor directly (Kcurry@aanp.org) to ask if the topic is of interest and to explain your expertise as the author of the potential article
Columns Articles for all columns are solicited by the column editors. Specific requirements for format, content, and authorship are managed by the column editors. Contact information for column editors is on the Editorial Board listing in the Journal Info tab
Education Manuscripts that focus on the development, implementation, and/or evaluation of unique or cutting-edge educational program improvements that pertain to preparation of advanced practice nurses will be considered for publication
Health policy Health policy is broadly defined by the World Health Organization as “decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific health care goals within a society.” Analysis of health policy issues related to NP practice are of interest to readers of JAANP. The analysis must follow a standard guideline for a policy analysis, such as Longest's or another previously published model.
Quality improvement Quality improvement manuscripts must be clearly differentiated from experimental design. An appropriate quality improvement framework such as the SQUIRE guidelines should be used for manuscript organization and the conduct of the quality improvement project. Such projects must have a high potential for implementation in other settings. The manuscript should highlight applicability to NP practice
Qualitative research For qualitative research designs, the type of analysis and control for rigor and credibility must be clearly stated. Any identifying information in responses from subjects must be removed. Two guidelines are likely to be most useful for JAANP authors are ENTREQ and COREQ. For manuscripts that represent a portion of a larger parent study, see requirements under Quantitative Research
Quantitative research For studies that only include quantitative data collection and analysis methods. For mixed quantitative/qualitative studies, authors should use the Research/Other Methods article type. The focus of the research must clearly relate to NP practice. A clearly stated question or purpose must be provided early in the manuscript. Research generated from a larger parent study must be clearly specified and copies of ALL previously published papers from that study must be submitted as either an email attachment to the editor or uploaded into the manuscript system as a supplementary file for review. The primary (parent) study must be clearly identified and referenced in the background, literature review, or methods section of your manuscript
Research/other methods For studies involving mixed methods, historiographies, or other original studies that do not conform to either a qualitative or quantitative label
Sponsored article For manuscripts requested by a sponsoring organization and that typically involve the use of a technical writer. Wolters Kluwer, the publisher of JAANP, has a department that coordinates sponsored articles; please email Alan.Moore@Wolterskluwer.com or contact the publisher or editor for further details
Systematic review For systematic reviews either with or without meta-analyses. A systematic approach to finding relevant studies, for example the PRISMA Statement, the Joanna Briggs Institute, or the Cochrane Collaboration, should be used as a guideline for reporting reviews. Authors should clearly describe the system they used to assure they have produced an unbiased review, including search strategies, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and evaluation of the strength of the reported research. Lengthy tables reporting study findings should be included as supplemental digital content (SDC)
Themed issue Reserved for articles in a dedicated issue that has been previously planned and organized around a specific theme. If your manuscript was not created in response to an invitation to contribute to a themed issue, do not select this article type. Contact the editor if you are unsure.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts that do not adhere to the following instructions will be returned to the corresponding author for technical revision before undergoing peer review. All content in JAANP is printed only in English. Authors whose first language is not English are strongly encouraged to have all content reviewed prior to submission by a colleague or editor who is a native English speaker. Follow the style guide, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th edition (www.apastyle.org).

Guidelines for reporting research:
We support the use of appropriate guidelines for reporting health research. Please consult the EQUATOR Network (http://www.equator-network.org/) for more specific information. Follow the most current version of the guidelines available for your manuscript type. All authors of research articles must include information on oversight by an appropriate institutional review board, including decisions on, and use of, informed consent of subjects.
Observational Studies (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional): Use the STROBE guidelines (http://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/strobe/). Some of the extension guidelines at this link may be appropriate for reporting outcomes research.
Parallel Group Randomized Trials: Use the CONSORT guidelines to report experimental research and include the trial registration number (http://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/consort/). Note that there are supporting files for extensions of the CONSORT guidelines to address specific issues in other types of experimental design, such as trials assessing non-pharmacologic treatments, which may be more appropriate to reporting your study.
Qualitative Research: For qualitative research, the type of analysis and control for rigor and credibility must be clearly stated. Any identifying information in responses from subjects must be removed. Two guidelines are likely to be most useful for JAANP authors: ENTREQ and COREQ. (http://www.equator-network.org/?post_type=eq_guidelines&eq_guidelines_study_design=qualitative-research&eq_guidelines_clinical_specialty=0&eq_guidelines_report_section=0&s=+).
Quality Improvement Research: Quality improvement research must be clearly differentiated from experimental design. The appropriate guideline for reporting a QI research project is the SQUIRE guidelines (http://squire-statement.org/guidelines/).
Statistical Reporting Guidelines: A useful guide for reporting statistical analysis and methods in research can also be found on the EQUATOR Network. The SAMPL Guidelines cover most types of statistics and methods used in quantitative research. (http://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/sampl/)
Systematic reviews either with or without meta-analysis: A systematic approach to finding relevant studies, for example the PRISMA Statement (http://www.prisma-statement.org), the Joanna Briggs Institute (http://www.joannabriggs.edu.au/about/home.php) or the Cochrane Collaboration (http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/clibintro.htm), should be used as a guideline for reporting reviews. Authors should clearly describe the system they used to assure they have produced an unbiased review, including search strategies, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and evaluation of the strength of the reported research. Lengthy tables reporting study findings should be included as online supporting information.
Essential Manuscript Components:
The following section details specific elements of manuscript preparation required at the time of submission. See table for specific word counts and formatting requirements for each manuscript type.
Cover Letter: The cover letter must contain the title of the manuscript, a statement about authorship as described previously and attestation that the manuscript is submitted for the sole consideration of the JAANP and the material has not been published in any form previously. The name, address, home and work telephone numbers, fax number, and e-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence regarding the manuscript should be included in the cover letter.
Prior/related publications: If the material has been presented at a conference or is part of a larger study (e.g., a subgroup analysis), that should also be stated. Please attach copies of all previously published articles from the study. If articles have been submitted elsewhere but not published yet, please summarize the differences between the manuscripts in the cover letter. If the paper reports findings from a clinical trial that has been registered, include the registration information. If the paper requires special consideration related to the NIH Public Access Mandate, please alert us with a statement in the cover letter.
Title Page: The information on Title Page contains more than just the title and will be used at production time to properly identify the authorship of the manuscript. The title of 25 words or less should be descriptive, unambiguous, and entice the audience to read your work.
Following the title should be a list of all authors, in the order in which they will appear in published form, along with institutional roles and affiliations. The contact author must be clearly identified (this does not have to be the first author) along with complete contact information. Alternative email addresses and phone numbers are helpful, in case we encounter difficulty contacting you.
The role each author filled in the development of the manuscript must be identified in a separate statement in the Title Page. For example, Mary Jones developed the instrument and performed all the analyses; Susan Smith wrote the initial draft of the manuscript; both authors developed the research project, collected chart data, and revised the manuscript for final submission. See the ICMJE Authorship Criteria if you have difficulty deciding what roles must be included in an authorship statement.
Any disclaimers required by Federal law (e.g., military, Federal Government) should be included on the title page.
Abstract: The abstract (the first item in the main document) must be copied into a designated abstract field during the submission process. Reviewers receive the abstract from this field when they are asked to perform a review – so it is the first impression you make on a reviewer. See table above for specific elements and structure of abstracts by article type. Do not use citations or references in the abstract.
NOTE: For tips about improving your abstracts see Pierson, Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners: July 2016 - Volume 28 - Issue 7 - p 346, doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12392; Pearce & Ferguson, Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners: August 2017 - Volume 29 - Issue 8 - p 452–460, doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12486
Keywords: Keywords are placed at the end of the abstract and are essential to discoverability of your work. Please select four primary keywords that highlight your article’s key points (more than four terms are allowed). JAANP is indexed in Medline/PubMed and CINAHL, so the controlled vocabulary of MeSH terms (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html) is a good place to start to find the most useful words to highlight your work. For more tips on selecting keywords, see Pearce, Hicks, & Pierson, Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners: April 2018 - Volume 30 - Issue 4 - p 179–181, doi: 10.1097/JXX.0000000000000048
Acknowledgments: Acknowledgement fall into two categories as described below.
Personal acknowledgments are used to acknowledge such things as unpaid editorial assistance or prepublication reviews from mentors and colleagues. To avoid compromising the author's anonymity, these acknowledgments are to be uploaded in a separate file during submission designated as a "Acknowledgements." Competitive grant funding for doctoral work, university or organizational small grants, or use of other grant-funded data for analysis should be acknowledged here with a statement about funding sources.
Expository acknowledgments are used to divulge those items pertaining to conflicts of interest (COI) and funding for the development or editing of any article that mentions specific drugs, devices, or other proprietary content. This includes any editorial or writing assistance provided by pharmaceutical, manufacturing, or medical communications companies, which must be clearly acknowledged including the name of the editor/writer and the source of funding. Author employment by or affiliation with any company mentioned in the manuscript must be disclosed. These acknowledgements are to be uploaded in a separate file during submission and designated as "Acknowledgements." Details of this support must also be copied into the corresponding fields of the online Manuscript Details form. This file will be included in the information accessible by reviewers, so it is important to use author initials or author 1, 2, etc., when disclosing any funding to maintain anonymity.
Main Document: The manuscript file should be free of identifying information (this facilitates our double-blind review process). A shortened form of the title should be included at the top of each manuscript page after the title page. Please turn on the line-numbering function of your word processor for the main manuscript; line numbers facilitate precise descriptions of where changes need to be made for the reviewers’ and editors’ comments. Use headings and subheadings per the APA style guide. Do not use footnotes in the abstract or the main body of the manuscript; parenthetical comments are preferred over footnotes but should be used sparingly. All figures and tables should be called out in the text, for example, (Table 1) or (see Table 1) or within an explanatory sentence such as “Figure 2 shows the flow of participants through the study.”
References: Beginning June 1, 2020, The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition is the style manual used by the JAANP to format citations, references, headings, and other matters. The use of electronic bibliographic citation managers (such as EndNoteTM) is acceptable. For examples of APA format for references and citations see http://www.apastyle.org
References should be listed alphabetically in a separate section at the end of the body of the manuscript Main Document file, double-spaced under a heading titled References. Do not put them in a separate file. References are limited to by article type and should be primary, current sources. Pay attention to the APA requirements for citation of online material. This has changed significantly in the latest edition. It is the author's responsibility to assure that all references are complete and accurate. Manuscripts that do not conform to referencing guidelines will not be reviewed. Retracted literature, other than in the context of the retraction, should not be cited as supporting literature for factual statement.
References not cited in the main text should be deleted from the manuscript. It may be useful to create a table titled Useful Resources or Useful Websites for inclusion as online supporting information in Supplemental Digital Content. There is also helpful information about references for systematic reviews included in the latest edition of the APA.
DOI numbers in citations are the preferred method for all citations. References for manuscripts in-press are acceptable, but they must be updated before the manuscript is published. There is extensive information about the use of DOIs in the APA 7th edition if you have questions.
Tables: Tables should be self-explanatory and should supplement, rather than duplicate, the material in the text. Do not embed tables within the body of the manuscript. All tables should be removed from the text and uploaded as separate Tables files. Footnotes to tables or figures are allowed and should be used to clearly spell out all abbreviations used. Symbols denoting statistical significance must also be indicated with footnotes.
Acknowledgments must be provided in a footnote on any tables, figures, or other material taken from other publications. Follow the copyright holder’s directions for appropriate credit lines. Copies of the authors' and publishers' permission letters should be included with the manuscript submission. Provide names of author(s), title of article, title of journal or book, volume number, page(s), month, and year.
Create tables using the table creating and editing feature of your word processing software (i.e., Microsoft Word). Do not use Excel or comparable spreadsheet programs. Do not use the tabs and space bar functions for creating tables. Submit each table separately as a "Tables" file. Cite tables consecutively in the text, and number them in that order. Each table should be on a separate page and include the table number, title, appropriate column heads, and explanatory legends (including definitions of any abbreviations used). Tables are easiest to read in the journal articles when the layout is portrait rather than landscape. Large tables such as a matrix of studies included in a systematic review of literature are best submitted as Supplemental Digital Content (SDC: see information below on submission requirements for SDC).
Figures: Learn about the publication requirements for Digital Artwork: http://links.lww.com/ES/A42 here. Create, Scan and Save your artwork and compare your final figure to the Digital Artwork Guideline Checklist (below). Upload each figure to Editorial Manager in conjunction with your manuscript text and tables. Cite figures consecutively in your manuscript. Number figures in the figure legend in the order in which they are discussed. Upload figures consecutively to the Editorial Manager web site and enter figure numbers consecutively in the Description field when uploading the files. All figure legends should be included at the end of the main manuscript document. Please note that this includes only the description of the figures, rather than the figure files themselves.
Digital Artwork Guideline Checklist
Here are the basics to have in place before submitting your digital artwork:
Artwork should be saved as TIFF, EPS, or MS Office (DOC, PPT) files.
PDF copies of figures are not acceptable.
Crop out any white or black space surrounding the image.
Diagrams, drawings, graphs, and other line art must be vector or saved at a resolution of at least 1200 dpi. If created in an MS Office program, send the native (DOC, PPT) file.
Photographs, radiographs and other halftone images must be saved at a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
Photographs and radiographs with text must be saved as postscript or at a resolution of at least 600 dpi.
Each figure must be saved and submitted as a separate file. Figures should not be embedded in the manuscript text file.
Submitting the Manuscript
All manuscripts must be submitted on-line through the Journal Web site at http://jaanp.edmgr.com/. Acceptable file types for main documents include .DOC and .DOCX. Do not submit a main document in PDF. A series of brief videos about the submission and production workflow is available at http://www.wkauthorservices.editage.com/production-workflow/
Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they have not been previously published and are not currently under consideration for publication in any other journal. Manuscripts will be acknowledged upon receipt; those accepted for publication are subject to copy editing.
Please obtain an ORCID ID (http://orcid.org) if you do not already have one prior to starting your submission.
The title should be no longer than 25 words and should reflect the content of the paper.
Standard Fonts such as "Times New Roman" or "Times" are preferred. For maximum clarity, use sans serif fonts "Arial" or "Helvetica" for labeling figures, and "Symbol font" for Greek letters and the MS Word symbol menu for other unusual characters. Unusual fonts may not be supported on all systems and may be lost on conversion of your documents at the time of online submission.
If you have used the Track Changes feature in the process of writing and editing your manuscript, please save a final version that accepts all the changes you intend to include before you upload your file.
Please include line and page numbers in your main manuscript document. This will help reviewers precisely point out the location of issues within the manuscript.

You will be able to track the progress of your manuscript through the system. If you experience any problems, please contact Patrick Wall, Editorial Coordinator at Patrick.Wall@wolterskluwer.com. Requests for help and other questions will be addressed in the order received.
Supplemental Digital Content (SDC): Authors may submit SDC via Editorial Manager for online posting with the article. SDC may include standard media such as text documents, graphs, audio, video, etc. On the Attach Files page of the submission process, please select Supplemental Audio, Video, or Data for your uploaded file as the Submission Item. If an article with SDC is accepted, our production staff will create a URL with the SDC file. The URL will be placed in the call-out within the article. Supplemental digital content will also be selectively used by the editor to manage the page count of manuscripts with extensive tables, figures, or other items submitted in addition to the main body of the manuscript. SDC files are not copy-edited by staff, they will be presented digitally as submitted. For a list of all available file types and detailed instructions, please visit http://links.lww.com/A142.
SDC Call-outs
Supplemental Digital Content must be cited consecutively in the text of the submitted manuscript. Citations should include the type of material submitted (Audio, Figure, Table, etc.), be clearly labeled as "Supplemental Digital Content," include the sequential list number, and provide a description of the supplemental content. All descriptive text should be included in the call-out as it will not appear elsewhere in the article.
Example:
We performed many tests on the degrees of flexibility in the elbow (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, which demonstrates elbow flexibility) and found our results inconclusive.
List of Supplemental Digital Content
A listing of Supplemental Digital Content must be submitted at the end of the manuscript file. Include the SDC number and file type of the Supplemental Digital Content. This text will be removed by our production staff and not be published.
Example:
Supplemental Digital Content 1. wmv
SDC File Requirements
All acceptable file types are permissible up to 10 MBs. For audio or video files greater than 10 MBs, authors should first query the journal office for approval. For a list of all available file types and detailed instructions, please visit http://links.lww.com/A142.
AFTER SUBMISSION
All manuscripts undergo editorial review for suitability of content and consistency of style requirements. Manuscripts that pass this initial screening go on to peer review. Unsuitable submissions are returned to the corresponding author with an explanation of the decision to reject without review or for corrections prior to peer review. The editor’s decision to reject for scope and submit elsewhere when the topic is not suited to JAANP does not provide a critique of the article but allows the author to find a more appropriate journal quickly.
Peer Review
JAANP uses a double-blind peer review system. Authors can designate suggested reviewers during their submission process and can request that certain reviewers be excluded from assignment. The editor will check the identities of all suggested reviewers to verify email addresses and institutional connections provided. The editor is not under any obligation to use the suggested reviewers. Reviewers are invited to complete the peer review within a specific time frame, but they can decline and sometimes do not respond. Therefore, the process can take some time to obtain qualified reviewers and competent reviews. Peer reviewers serve as advisors to the editor. In cases where there are conflicting reviews, additional reviewers are invited and/or and editorial board member is consulted for advice.
Once the reviews are complete the editor makes a decision; possible choices are accept, accept with revisions, revise and resubmit with no guarantee of acceptance, or reject. The editor makes the final decision; if an associate editor makes a decision, the editor-in-chief reviews the decision prior to sending the letter to the authors.
Appeal of a decision: A decision may be appealed under limited circumstances. If the authors believe there was a conflict of interest or unfairness in the decision-making process, they should submit an email to the editor-in-chief (Kcurry@aanp.org) outlining the specific evidence of bias, conflict, or unfairness. If the editor-in-chief finds merit to the argument, she will consult the editorial board and ask for an opinion on the merits of the arguments in comparison to the merits of the peer reviewers’ comments. The editor-in-chief then makes a recommendation, which is final. Dissatisfaction with a decision is not grounds for appeal.
Every effort is made by the editors to avoid conflicts of interest. Associate editors or editorial board members are assigned as handling editors if the editor has any conflicts of interest with any manuscript. If the authors believe there is bias or conflicts with the entire editorial process or the handling of manuscripts by the editor-in-chief, they should contact the publisher Marianne.Kerr@wolterskluwer.com
Revisions
When revisions are requested, there will be specific comments to the authors in the decision letter or a commented file that can be found in the author’s manuscript submission/revision center. Authors must respond to each comment with the location of the corrections or an explanation of disagreements with the suggested changes. This is a good time to review the manuscript one last time for grammatical errors, spelling of unusual words, laboratory values, drug dosages, and anything that might be misunderstood by readers. A final check of references, in-text citations, call outs to tables and figures and SDC is also warranted. If any new publications from parent or related studies by the authors have been published since the original submission, please add those to the revised submission. It is not necessary to resend any studies that were submitted with the original files.
The revision is submitted online at http://jaanp.edmgr.com Login using the same user name and password as the original submission. On the "Author Main Menu," under the heading "REVISIONS," select the "Submissions Needing Revision" link which will be the only active link. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR REVISION AS A "NEW SUBMISSION" UNDER THE HEADING "NEW SUBMISSIONS."
Authorship changes on revised manuscripts are not acceptable without explanation and consent from all original authors. JAANP uses a form to clarify authorship changes available from Patrick Wall, Editorial Coordinator at Patrick.Wall@wolterskluwer.com
AFTER ACCEPTANCE
Page Proofs and Corrections
Corresponding authors will receive electronic page proofs to check the copyedited and typeset article before publication. Portable document format (PDF) files of the typeset pages and support documents (e.g., reprint order form) will be sent to the corresponding author by E-mail. Complete instructions will be provided with the E-mail for downloading and printing the files (see also Step 5 in the Journal Production Process videos for more instructions http://www.wkauthorservices.editage.com/production-workflow/). It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to communicate with co-authors about any changes to the final submission requested or made in this process.
It is the author's responsibility to ensure that there are no errors in the proofs and to specifically answer all the Author Queries as indicated in the instructions. Changes that have been made to conform to journal style will stand if they do not alter the authors' meaning. Only the most critical changes to the accuracy of the content will be made. Changes that are stylistic or are a reworking of previously accepted material will not be allowed. The publisher reserves the right to deny any changes that do not affect the accuracy of the content. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those required to correct errors or to answer queries. Proofs must be checked carefully, and corrections posted within 24 to 48 hours of receipt, as requested in the cover letter accompanying the page proofs. Please note that corrections must be made on the proofs electronically to avoid additional errors in translation from other documents, such as an email or a Word document. If you have difficulty making comments on the PDF, download an updated version of the PDF Reader as described in the instructions. You may have to disable other PDF readers that may be embedded in your browser.
Reprints The corresponding author will receive a reprint notification letter with a link to the order form soon after the article publishes in the journal (and not before). It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to send this information along to other authors. Questions about this can be directed to reprints@lww.com.
OPEN ACCESS Authors of accepted peer-reviewed articles have the choice to pay a fee to allow perpetual unrestricted online access to their published article to readers globally, immediately upon publication. Authors may take advantage of the open access option at the point of acceptance to ensure that this choice has no influence on the peer review and acceptance process.
The article processing charge (APC) is billed on acceptance of the article and should be paid within 30 days by the author, funding agency or institution. Payment must be processed for the article to be published open access. For a list of journals and pricing please visit our Wolters Kluwer Open Health Journals page.

Ethical/Legal Considerations
JAANP is a member of COPE, the Committee on Publication Ethics (www.publicationethics.org) and adheres to the highest ethical standards in publishing scholarly work.
A submitted manuscript must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract or a preliminary report such as a preprint), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if accepted, must not be published elsewhere in similar form, in any language, without the consent of Wolters Kluwer Health. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the Journal, its editors, or the publisher. Authors must submit previous publications from the same study as supplementary material to support that the new submission is an original contribution.
Plagiarism: All manuscripts are submitted to a text matching program (iThenticateTM) to look for significant overlap with previously published manuscripts. If your paper is based on a thesis or dissertation that has been made publicly available, iThenticateTM will pick that up. If you have “recycled” significant amounts of text from previously published work from your dissertation, or if you have previously published a pre-print of your work that will also show up as overlapping content. All these situations must be addressed with the editor either in prior correspondence or in a cover letter and you may be asked for further text revisions or clarifications prior to peer review.

Author Contributions: Each person listed as an author is expected to have participated in the study and contributed to the development of the manuscript to a significant extent. A summary of each author's contributions must be listed on the title page. The journal uses the criteria for authorship established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html
Contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship may be recognized in an acknowledgement statement that will appear at the end of the manuscript.
For helpful examples of author and contributor roles see http://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles
Declarations of competing interests: All authors must declare any competing or conflicts of interest (COI) that might influence the perceptions of readers about validity of the manuscript content. For specific examples of competing interests see the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations for authors related to declaring COI at http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/author-responsibilities--conflicts-of-interest.html Possible conflicts of interest include financial, consultant, institutional, and other relationships that might lead to bias or a perception of a conflict of interest. If there is no conflict of interest, this should also be explicitly stated as none declared.
In addition, each author must complete and submit the journal's copyright transfer agreement, which includes a section on the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest based on the recommendations of the ICMJE, "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (www.icmje.org/update.html).
A copy of the form is made available to the submitting author within the Editorial Manager submission process. Co-authors will automatically receive an E-mail with instructions on completing the form upon submission of the manuscript. For other than open access articles, the copyright is transferred to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, owner of the JAANP.
Research Oversight and Protection of Human Subjects: All research reports must contain a statement in the methods section about the protection of human subjects or ethical treatment of animals and approval by the appropriate institutional review board (IRB). Research conducted on Federal property must also be approved by the appropriate Federal oversight review committee. Research conducted on Native American lands may require approval by the appropriate oversight review committee, which may be a tribal Council or specialty IRB (for further information see article by Braun & Tsark, 2008, at http://naepub.com/ethical-issues/2008-18-2-1/). Checking the appropriate box on the Manuscript Details form in the submission process is also required.
Compliance with NIH and other research funding agency accessibility: Many research funding agencies now require or request authors to submit the post-print (the article after peer review and acceptance but not the final published article) to a repository that is accessible online by all without charge. As a service to our authors, Wolters Kluwer identifies to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) articles that require deposit and transmits the post-print of an article based on research funded in whole or in part by the National Institutes of Health, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, or other funding agencies to PubMed Central. The Copyright Transfer Agreement provides the mechanism for identification of relevant papers. Additionally, all authors who choose the gold open access option will have their final published article deposited into PubMed Central. For any other funding agency accessibility requirements, contact the JAANP Editorial Coordinator, Patrick Wall (Patrick.Wall@Wolterskluwer.com)
Permissions: Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared in copyrighted form elsewhere, along with complete details about the source. Any permissions fees that might be required by the copyright owner are the responsibility of the authors requesting use of the borrowed material, not the responsibility of Wolters Kluwer Health. Please be aware that copyright holders of some instruments commonly used in health sciences research require fees and permissions to use their instruments with research subjects as well as to publish results.
