As editor of Italian based journal is not easy in a context that does not see many scientific journals in the Italian language and in which academic authors prefer to publish in journal with greater audience…I’m working hard to improve this journal at next level and moving to publish not only Italian articles but English language articles in the European area. I’m working to assure that the integrity and reputation of the journal is improved and maintained at all times and for improvements to the overall editorial structure.

I yearn to have more of an impact. In my current role as Associate Editor. I have the capacity to help many more nurses find their voice though publication of their important research findings. My hope is that I will help to broaden nurses’ visibility within the scientific community and solidify their role as the trusted professionals their patients and colleagues know them to be.
