The Official Journal of the National League for Nursing

Nursing Education Perspectives provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas regarding nursing education, faculty issues, and the design, implementation, and evaluation of innovative programs. Its mission is to promote the mission of the NLN and serve as a means by which the organization can advance quality nursing education that prepares the nursing workforce to meet the needs of diverse populations in an ever-changing health care environment.

THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS
All submitted manuscripts undergo evaluation by the editorial staff. Promising manuscripts are reviewed by the Nursing Education Perspectives Peer Review Panel. When we decline a manuscript, we provide a summary of reviewers’ comments. The review process is anonymous to ensure fairness and objectivity.

FORMAT
The names and affiliations of authors must not appear in the text. Authors should include, on a separate page, their full name, address, telephone number, and e-mail; professional designations and degrees; current affiliation; and affiliation during preparation of the article.

Manuscripts should be in 12-point type, double-spaced on 8 1/2" by 11" white paper with 1 1/2" margins all around. The average manuscript is 10 to 12 pages in length, excluding references and tables. Shorter articles are also encouraged. Include an abstract in paragraph form and five key words.

References should be in APA format. See the APA Style Manual for guidance.

Authors are encouraged to provide photographs or other artwork to illustrate their articles. However, for peer review purposes, please send photocopies of original art. Photographs should bear the photographer's name and a brief description of what is depicted. Evidence of permission to use or reprint the photograph or other art must be provided by the author before publication.

Manuscripts should be mailed flat, unstapled, but paper-clipped together. Submit one original and three photocopies. Please also provide the manuscript on a disk in Word or Word Perfect.

EDITING
Accepted manuscripts will be edited for clarity, length, and adherence to the Nursing Education Perspectives editorial style. The author receives an edited copy of the manuscript before publication to check for accuracy of content.

Direct manuscripts and all other correspondence to:
The Editor, Nursing Education Perspectives, National League for Nursing, 61 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10006
