Two Events for Editors!

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Peggy L Chinn

There are two events of special interest to nursing journal editors!

COPE Seminar, 13 August 2014, Philadelphia

COPE is delighted to announce its 5th North American Seminar, which will be held in collaboration with ISMTE (International Society of Managing and Technical Editors), on Wednesday 13 August 2014 at the Hyatt Regency Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The theme of the COPE seminar will be centred around ‘new technologies and behaviours for identifying publication ethics issues’. Editors, publishers, authors and all those interested in publication ethics are welcome to attend. The seminar will include invited talks in addition to breakout sessions in the afternoon with discussion of related cases.

Short Course: Editing Medical Journals, 5-7 November 2014, Oxford, UK

Last year we had 27 delegates from all over the world and there was a great buzz to the two days with wide-ranging discussions. Feedback showed that not only did the delegates think it was inspiring, but the course also gave them ideas and practical information for their own journals. Networking and participation were key and everyone agreed that the opportunity to discuss large and small issues and to learn from each other was one of the key strengths of the two days. (A short walk around Oxford and one of the colleges was also very appreciated!) If you would like to receive more information or enquire about running the course in-house for your own editorial team, please contact:

Sally Cohen appointed as Editor-in-Chief of Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice

Posted on July 19, 2014 by Peggy L Chinn

We have just learned from David Keepnews (now former Editor-in-Chief) that effective July 1st, Sally Cohen has assumed the leadership of Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice. Here is the message that we received about this transition:

Dear Friends,

After serving as Editor-in-Chief of Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice for almost 10 years, I have stepped down from that role. I am happy to announce that SAGE—with my strong support—has appointed Sally S. Cohen, PhD, RN, FAAN, as the journal’s new Editor-in-Chief. I will continue to work closely with Sally in my new role as the journal’s Consulting Editor.

David Keepnews

Many of you know Sally, who has served as Deputy Editor since 2012. She is the Virginia P. Crenshaw Endowed Chair at the College of Nursing at the University of New Mexico, where she is also Director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Nursing and Health Policy Collaborative. Sally was recently selected by the American Academy of Nursing, the American Nurses Association, and the American Nurses Foundation as Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies beginning September 1, 2014.

Sally Cohen

I cannot think of anyone more qualified than Sally to lead PPNP into the future. Sally brings unparalleled expertise in health policy and nursing, and a tested commitment to moving the journal forward. I look forward to continuing to work closely with her as she steps into her new role as PPNP Editor-in-Chief.

Over the past decade, I believe that the journal has continued to solidify its reputation as an important source of authoritative, high-quality and significant contributions to nursing and health policy—continuing the pioneering work of my predecessor, Carole Jennings, the journal’s founding editor. I am very confident that Sally will carry this work forward effectively and energetically. I am excited about the future of the journal under Sally’s leadership.

Please join me in welcoming Sally as Editor-in-Chief of PPNP.

With best wishes,

David

We wish David the very best as he moves to a new chapter! And congratulations to Sally as she assumes this important role!

Directory of Nursing Journals: Moved, Updated, and Improved!

Posted on July 4, 2014 by Leslie H. Nicoll

For many years, Nurse Author & Editor hosted a directory of nursing journals, a very useful resource for authors, editors, and publishers. In recent years, however, the directory had become woefully out-of-date. The platform on which it was hosted, as well as the lack of a mechanism to contact editors, made it difficult to keep the information current.

As the new Editor of Nurse Author & Editor, I sought to rectify this situation. I also wanted to make a closer link between the directory and INANE since we are natural partners. I approached my colleagues at Wiley and they immediately agreed that an update was needed and a new home at INANE would be an asset. Thus I am pleased to announce the new and improved Directory of Nursing Journals, housed right here at the INANE website.

I want to give a huge shout-out and thank you to Peggy Chinn, who took on the herculean task of updating each and every single journal entry. She verified editors’ and publishers’ names, updated journal information, and added links for “Information for Authors” and journal web pages. When she couldn’t find journal information online, she wrote the contact person for an update. She went above and beyond, working to ensure that each and every journal entry is accurate–at least as of today!

A major impetus in making the move to the INANE website was that we now have a mechanism to quickly update the directory. This is a dynamic document and we know changes occur on a regular basis. Rather than waiting to “batch” update entries on some specified time interval (such as quarterly), updates can be made “on the fly” as they are received. This will be a huge asset in helping us keep the directory current.

Of course, this is a shared responsibility! We can only update what we know which is why we need to hear from editors or publishers when changes are needed. Right now, if you are an editor or publisher, please review your listing(s) to make sure all the information is correct. If it isn’t, please send an update using this form. If your journal isn’t listed, you may use the same form to send us information for a new listing.

Note that all journal entries are reviewed and vetted for inclusion on the list. Our criteria are congruent with the purpose of INANE: journals that promote best practices in publishing and high standards in the dissemination of nursing knowledge will be listed. We want to be inclusive but at the same time, journals that detract from our scholarship, such as predatory journals, will not be included.

I hope you find the new and improved Directory of Nursing Journals a useful resource. I welcome comments, feedback, and thoughts about what we can do to make this directory the best that it can be!

Lillee Gelinas Appointed Editor-in-Chief

Posted on June 16, 2014 by Leslie H. Nicoll

SILVER SPRING,MD– American Nurse Today, the official journal of the American Nurses Association (ANA), has announced Lillee Gelinas, MSN, RN, FAAN, has been appointed editor-in-chief effective June 1, 2014. Gelinas, a member of ANA and the Texas Nurses Association, has served on the journal’s editorial board since its inception in 2006. American Nurse Today is a peer-reviewed journal owned and published by HealthCom Media.

Gelinas succeeds Pamela Cipriano, PhD,RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, who served as American Nurse Today editor-in-chief since its founding in 2006.

“We are excited to see Lillee assume this new role. She has demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm in her long service on the editorial board, and we are confident she will shape its future as editor-in-chief,” said ANA President Karen A. Daley, PhD, RN, FAAN. “We also gratefully acknowledge Pam Cipriano for her leadership in helping to launch and establish American Nurse Today as a respected and valued journal.”

ANA members receive a subscription to the award-winning journal as a benefit of membership.

“Lillee’s amazing passion for nursing and her in-depth understanding of the profession will be a valuable asset as American Nurse Today continues its focus on delivering information that nurses can use in their practice,” said Greg Osborne, HealthCom Media President. “Since her appointment to the editorial board in 2006, Lillee has contributed to shaping our award-winning editorial content. It is also very important to acknowledge Pam Cipriano, whose invaluable editorial leadership skills have helped establish American Nurse Today as the leading source of clinical and practical content in the nursing market.”

“I am humbled and honored to accept this appointment with American Nurse Today,” said Gelinas. “Pam Cipriano’s shoes will be very hard to fill, but with a talented editorial board and an engaged audience, I’m very confident of a successful future. I firmly believe in the journal’s role, which supports nursing practice through evidence-based, practical information, and the platform it provides to reinforce the fundamental role we as nurses play in transforming the health care system.”

Gelinas continued, “Nurses are vital to the care provided today, are well-positioned to help patients navigate the shifts occurring in care delivery, and serve as the hearts and hands of our health care system. With such an important role, it is essential that we stay in conversation and connected as together we design the paths to our future. American Nurse Today provides an important outlet where the dialogue can occur.”

A nurse leader with more than 30 years of experience, Gelinas currently serves as system vice president and chief nursing officer of CHRISTUS Health, a system comprising more than 350 hospitals, services, and facilities in the U.S., Mexico and Chile. She is a well-respected thought leader and speaker on health care management, clinical issues, and patient safety and quality issues. She has served in various nursing leadership roles, including member of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services Nursing Steering Committee; member of the board of directors for the National Patient Safety Foundation; member of the Nursing Advisory Council of The Joint Commission; and many others. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and a member of the Academy’s Nursing Informatics and Technology Expert Panel.

Lawrie Elliott Appointed as Editor for JPMHN

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Leslie H. Nicoll

Lawrie Elliott has been appointed Editor for the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, succeeding outgoing editor, Dawn Freshwater.

Lawrie shares some of his background and expertise:

Career History

I trained as a mental health nurse in Glasgow (UK) in 1977 and qualified in 1980. I moved into public health research in the 1990s, became a senior lecturer (and Director of Research) at the University of Dundee (UK) in 1997 and then reader in 2003. I took up my present post as professor at Edinburgh Napier University (UK) in 2005. I am an active researcher and have contributed to the strategic development of nursing research throughout my career, including research lead for a cross NHS/University ‘Centre for Integrated Healthcare Research’ (2005-2010) and more recently led the Research Excellence Framework 2014 submission for Nursing at Edinburgh Napier University.

Areas of Expertise

I have a substantial track record in applied research in Public Health and published numerous high quality papers including a report with colleagues for the World Health Organisation on health inequalities (2006). My methodological expertise centres on the evaluation of public health interventions which range from needle exchange, methadone and sexual health programmes to community nursing. I served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing between 2005 and 2012 and became an Associate Editor in 2013. I have also reviewed for a number of international health journals and grant awarding organisations. I have worked on a number of public health nursing research studies commissioned by government including, The Public Health Contribution of Nursing: a Review of the Evidence (2001), and the Review of Nursing in the Community (2009-2012). I also led on the evaluation of Healthy Respect; a national health demonstration project designed to improve the sexual health of young people including vulnerable groups (2012). I have obtained over £3 million of funding in collaboration with my colleagues including new studies on young people and families funded by the National Institute for Health Research and the Scottish Government which will run to 2017. I am currently collaborating with researchers from the USA, Australia, Ireland and Sweden and internationally recognised researchers from UK countries.

In Memory of Professor Melanie Jasper

Posted on May 17, 2014 by Leslie H. Nicoll

INANE Colleagues,

I have just learned of the death of Professor Melanie Jasper, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Nursing Management. From the website of the journal, her publisher posted this notice:

It is with great sadness that we have to inform our readers and authors of the death of Professor Melanie Jasper. Melanie has been the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Nursing Management for over 12 years, and she will be sorely missed by her colleagues in the editorial team and by the wider nursing community. Melanie was also the Head of the College of Human and Health Sciences at Swansea University.

A tribute can be found here from Swansea University. In particular I am struck by this tribute from her colleague, Professor Ceri Phillips:

Melanie was an inspirational leader, supportive colleague and caring friend. She will be sorely missed by her colleagues within the College and University, while messages of condolence from colleagues further afield bear testimony to the esteem and regard in which she was held.

She was a passionate advocate and promoter of the College and her profession and we will certainly miss her enthusiasm and motivation. The award of the Nursing Times Nurse Education Provider of the Year last week is a fitting testimony to Melanie’s leadership and one which the College will strive to build upon as a lasting legacy to her leadership of the College.

On a personal note I regret that I cannot thank her for the support and encouragement she provided in developing my career – which I suspect applies to many colleagues at this sad time.

The tragedy of her being taken so suddenly and at a relatively young age causes us to reflect on the fragility of life and the need for us all to strive to make a difference in the things that we do – and which Melanie did in such abundance.

On behalf of INANE, we send our deepest condolences to Melanie’s family, friends, and professional colleagues.

I am honored to join the Duke University heath team as dean, and am excited about the possibilities for preparing the next generation of nurse leaders.”

Broome earned her nursing degree from the Medical College of Georgia, a master’s degree in family health nursing from the University of South Carolina, and her doctorate in child and family development from the University of Georgia.
