Aims and scope

NSC Nursing is the scientific journal of the Order of Nursing Professions of Naples. NSC Nursing is an online free open access, peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of nursing sciences and considers articles covering all aspects of nursing research. The Journal publishes four volumes per year, and each volume includes a minimum of two articles.

 

Ethical/legal considerations
NSC Nursing journal is committed to promoting the highest ethical publication practices. Allegations of misconduct will be investigated fully, as outlined on the relevant pages, and as per the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. Complaints against a journal, its staff, editorial board or publisher should be directed to the editorial office (contact details are provided on journal homepage) or alternatively info@nscnursing.it
The submitted manuscript must be an original contribution that has not been previously published (except as an abstract or preliminary report) or submitted for publication to another journal at the same time. Furthermore, in the event that an article is published in NSC Nursing, it may not be published elsewhere in a similar form, in any language, without the express consent. Although the Editorial Board and reviewers make every effort to ensure the validity of published work, the authors are held responsible for any behaviour that is ethically unsound, such as the manipulation of data, plagiarism or duplication of results, and possible conflict of interest. For this reason, the corresponding author must, on behalf of all authors, sign the NSC Nursing cover letter, which must be submitted together with the manuscript in PDF format and which can be downloaded at the following link:
