Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing

Aims & Scope

Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing (HEDN) is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing basic, experimental and clinical knowledge from around the world on all aspects of disaster nursing. Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing (HEDN) is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing basic, clinical, and historical scholarship from around the world. It is a showcase for the most significant current research on all aspects of disaster nursing stemming from natural or human-made disasters. The journal publishes high-quality, well-conducted research across the physiological, psychological, and social aspects of individuals, families, communities, and nations and all disaster environments. A diverse range of article types are available as Open Access and are often published within 30 days of acceptance. Supported by the non-profit organization Disaster Nursing Group, the journal aims to promote global excellence in nursing by facilitating knowledge exchange at local, regional and international levels. Early-career scholars are particularly encouraged to submit their best work so it can be read by our broad global audience of health practitioners, professionals and academic researchers. Researchers, clinicians, and individuals interested in disaster nursing will find HEDN an important resource. The journal welcomes a range of manuscript types, all of which are subject to peer review. Authors are welcome to propose to the Editor-in-Chief other article types that would be more suitable to their research or manuscript. Before submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors must ensure that they have read and complied with the journal’s policies. The journal reserves the right to reject without review, or retract, any manuscript that the Editor believes may not comply with these policies.

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.
