About the Journal

Nursing and Healthcare Journal is hosted by SERN and was developed to serve as a publishing home for work that often gets left out of high-impact medical journals, research from nurses, caregivers, educators, community health researchers, and practitioners who are closest to the ground realities of health systems.

Scope Includes (but is not limited to):

  • Clinical nursing research and practice

  • Midwifery, maternal, and neonatal health

  • Mental health and psychiatric nursing

  • Health equity and community-based care

  • Nursing education and pedagogy

  • Palliative and geriatric care

  • Public health and policy-based interventions

  • Global health systems and workforce challenges

Open Access Policy
The journal is fully open access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. This ensures that all articles are immediately and permanently free to read, download, and share. We believe healthcare research should not be gated behind paywalls; it should be open to everyone, especially those delivering care.

Copyright & Licensing
Authors retain full copyright of their work. By publishing with us, they grant a license to distribute the work under the CC BY 4.0 license, enabling use, citation, and transformation by others as long as the original authors are credited.

Sponsorship and Financial Disclosure
This journal is supported through modest publication charges and independent institutional partners. Editorial decisions are entirely independent and never influenced by funding or sponsorship arrangements.

Peer Review Process
All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review by a panel of experienced practitioners, academics, and scholars. We place special emphasis on respectful, developmental feedback that strengthens, not gatekeeps, important research.

Privacy Statement
We do not collect or share personal data beyond what is necessary for editorial operations. Reviewers and authors are expected to maintain confidentiality at all times. We comply with data protection regulations and ethical publication standards.

Language & Accessibility
We welcome articles written in clear, accessible English (with light editing available for ESL authors). We also encourage inclusive visuals, diagrams, and practitioner-oriented summaries to support broader readership, including students, clinicians, and non-academic stakeholders.

Why This Journal Matters
Nursing and Healthcare Journal was built for those who do not have time to navigate prestige politics in publishing, but whose work is changing lives every day. It is a platform for evidence, not ego. For reflection and reform. For researchers and real-world changemakers alike.
