The Journal of Nursing Management is an international forum which informs and advances the discipline of nursing management and leadership.

TopNews and Announcements
Early View
Journal of Nursing Management is covered by Wiley Interscience's Online service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page mumbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. Click here to view Early View articles.
