NURSING HISTORY REVIEW: Author Guidelines

Official Publication of the American Association for the History of Nursing

As of April 1, 2023 all manuscript submissions should be sent to 
Jane Brooks at [email protected].


When a manuscript is submitted, strictly according to Chicago Style as in the author guidelines, it goes out for peer review before being rejected, revised, or accepted. The journal is published every January.

In addition to accepting the usual manuscripts on any topic in nursing history, the editors are seeking papers to put into special sections. Please see the gray box below for more information.

 

The Review has instituted a number of new initiatives:

  • We are reducing the word count. This in no way diminishes the rigour, it simply places the journal on a more equal footing with comparable journals
  • We are introducing a new doctoral student/post-doctoral section. Manuscripts for this section will be between 4,000-5,000 words (including endnotes)
  • We will no longer have a section ‘Hidden in plain sight’
  • We will be introducing a topical section each year. The section for 2025 is ‘Nursing History in the Curriculum’
  • Finally, we will be re-introducing sections for methodological papers and Keynote talks as appropriate
For details on these please click here.

 

Nursing History Review is the official publication of the American Association for the History of Nursing (AAHN).
