Aims & Scope

The journal is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of rural populations worldwide by disseminating timely research and relevant manuscripts related to rural health, nursing, education, practice, and policy. The journal covers a broad spectrum of rural nursing topics, including clinical practice, education and training, policy and advocacy, program assessments and services, quantitative and qualitative research on rural health issues, and expert perspectives on rural health challenges. The journal welcomes original contributions from researchers worldwide. At least one author must be a current member of the Rural Nurse Organization (RNO) at the time of submission and throughout the review process. The journal accepts original research, quality assurance or quality improvement projects, evidence-based reviews, theoretical discussions, opinion pieces, and program evaluation.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
