Manuscript Editing for Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice Journal Articles
Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice explores the relationships between nursing and health policy, including legislative and regulatory processes and their effect on practice. It publishes data-based studies, policy analyses, and discussion of issues facing the nursing profession. Topics range from health care financing and patient safety to the international migration of health professionals. Sage publishes it quarterly.
Empirical articles and policy analyses run up to 5,000 words, excluding abstract and references, with no more than 40 references and five tables. References follow APA, 7th edition, with full URLs and DOIs for online sources. The 250-word abstract is one narrative paragraph without headings, followed by three to five lowercase MeSH keywords. The journal asks for active voice and a definition for each policy term. Authors upload the matching EQUATOR checklist and include statements on ethics, consent, conflicting interests, funding, and data availability. Review is single-anonymized, with two independent reviews before a revise or accept decision. Our editors apply APA style and shape the abstract to the journal's single paragraph. Submissions go through Sage Track.
