Information For Authors

Submission Procedure

The 5th IJCNS invites abstract submissions for consideration. 

  1. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. 
  2. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected. 
  3. Accepted abstracts will be assigned to either poster or oral presentations based on the reviewers' evaluation. 
  4. An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
  5. Authors of accepted abstracts will have the opportunity to submit a full manuscript for potential publication in our partner journals. Full manuscripts will undergo a rigorous review by the 5th IJCNS reviewers. Upon passing this review, the manuscript will be returned to the authors for submission to the designated partner journals (Nurse Media Journal of Nursing; Jurnal Keperawatan Soedirman; Journal of Bionursing; Public Health and Community Medicine).
