About the journal

Brief Background

  The Escola Anna Nery (EAN), journal of nursing, is a scientific journal maintained by the Escola de Enfermagem Anna Nery of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, since 1997. It is a journal with national and international circulation, a member of the Ibero-American Network of Scientific Editing in Nursing (Rede Iberoamericana de Editoração Científica de Enfermagem (RedEDIT), affiliated to the Associação Brasileira de Editores Científicos (ABEC) since 2010, and to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) since 2016.  
   
Both the name of EAN and that of its maintaining institution were inspired by Anna Nery's importance to Brazilian nursing. Anna Nery, born on December 13, 1814, in Cachoeira, Bahia, is considered to be Brazil's first nurse. After her three sons left for the Paraguayan War, she could not remain indifferent to the suffering of her compatriots and the separation of her children. She wrote to the President of the Province of Bahia, offering herself as a nurse. Accepted, she worked in hospitals in Rio Grande do Sul, where she acquired technical knowledge from nuns.

Among the 60,000 or so “sons” she lost in the war, Anna Nery faced the death of her biological firstborn. With the end of the conflict, she returned home with six orphans and received several medals for her care of the sick. At the age of 65, on May 20, 1880, Anna Nery passed away. Her legacy inspired both the journal's name and the name of the first nursing school based on the Nightingalean Model in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, in this case the Escola de Enfermagem Anna Nery, which is the EAN's maintainer.

Publication Ethics

 

Authorship
Authors are those who make public their responsibility for the content of the article, agreeing that the writing and intellectual content have been critically reviewed by all authors. Each author must approve the final version of the content to be published and agree to take responsibility for all aspects of the work, ensuring that issues relating to the accuracy or integrity of any parts of the work are properly investigated and resolved. In addition, each author declares the form of substantial intellectual contribution to the conception or design of the study/research and/or acquisition, and/or analysis or interpretation of the data, in accordance with the criteria established by the ICMJE.

There is no limit on the number of authors; however, it is a necessary to send a Letter to the Editor justifying the number of authors above six and specifying their respective contributions.

The concepts, ideas and opinions expressed in the manuscripts, as well as the accuracy, adequacy, and provenance of the bibliographic citations, are the sole responsibility of the author(s), and do not necessarily reflect the position of the Journal's Editorial Board, Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors.

Originality
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to EAN and may not be submitted simultaneously to another journal. On the Title Page the authors must inform the origin of the manuscript, with detailed information on the title of the work (master's dissertation, doctoral thesis or final course work), the Postgraduate Program and the year of presentation. In the SciELO Open Science Compliance Form, the author(s) must inform whether the manuscript is a preprint, and if so, include information on the name of the preprints server and the DOI of the preprint.

Integrity in scientific publishing
Editorial practice for scientific misconduct (plagiarism, self-plagiarism, falsification or fabrication of data, misuse of references or citations, duplication, authorship disputes, among others) follows the procedures, checklist and guidelines of the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (COPE). It also follows the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly work in Medical Journals, of the International Committee of Medical Journals Editors (ICMJE). It is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which questions the growing use of bibliometric classification as a quality indicator in the evaluation of research and researchers.
To meet internationally recognized scientific criteria, the scientific writing of the article must follow the guidelines available in the Instructions to Authors Section, according to the type of manuscript.

The journal uses a similarity tracking tool in the case of article accepted for publication after the adjustments requested by the reviewers (Crossref Similarity Check). Authors should be aware of the implications provided for in the legal provisions of the Penal Code (Art. 184) and the Copyright Law (Art. 7, third paragraph of Law No. 9,610, of 1998; see Law No. 12,853, of 2013, which amends and adds some articles to provide for the collective management of copyrights, and makes other provisions). Preprints, dissertations, and theses deposited in their respective repositories are not considered similarity.

Ethics in research and research involving human beings
The article must contain explicit information on the ethical precepts of the research, in accordance with the guidelines and regulatory frameworks of each country. It is forbidden to publish the names of research participants or in any way that could represent a breach of the principle of anonymity.

The manuscript of a Brazilian study that involving research or experience reports with human beings must include a copy of the approval document by a Research Ethics Committee, in accordance with Resolution No. 466, of 2012, of the National Health Council (CNS), Law No. 14,874/2024. Upload the document in PDF format as "supplementary files".

Research on the humanities and social sciences carried out in the field of health and nursing must prove approval by a Research Ethics Committee, under the terms of Resolution No. 510 of 2016, which deals with the guidelines for research in the humanities and social sciences. Upload the document in PDF format as "supplementary files".

For research articles carried out in other countries, their authors must comply with the research ethics regulations of the country of origin by sending a copy of a document proving its approval, uploading the document in PDF format as "supplementary files" in the submission system.

 

 

Focus and Scope

 

The purpose of EAN is to publish original work in nursing, health, and other areas of knowledge with interfaces in health and nursing. EAN is expanding its mission to global issues related to vulnerable populations, whose findings directly contribute to expanding the nursing science that underpins ethical and humane care.

EAN recognizes the vital role that scientific journals play in accelerating actions related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, the articles published by EAN contribute directly to Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), and 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).

For this reason, we are highly attentive to the content we publish—prioritizing materials that provide essential information to diverse audiences and have the potential to generate real-world impact. It is through the careful curation and dissemination of professional knowledge that we can achieve meaningful influence and truly make a difference

Editorial Policy

Preprints

 

EAN encourages the publication of preprints and recommends that all manuscripts submitted to the journal have previously been deposited in a preprint repository recognized by the academic community and assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), as a way of transitioning to open evaluation, and suggests SciELO Preprints.

However, manuscripts that are available as preprints do not receive priority or differentiated treatment within the editorial workflow.

 

Peer Review Process

 

EAN has progressively adopted the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines, which is why it accepts the evaluation of manuscripts deposited on reliable preprint servers, and requires protocol records for certain types of manuscripts, constituting situations that reveal the identity of the authors to the reviewers.

However, the double-anonymous peer review process still predominates, but with the possibility of sharing reviews between reviewers. We believe that sharing knowledge between reviewers contributes to improving the manuscript, as well as speeding up and making the review process more transparent. On the other hand, it allows the value of the reviewer's work to be recognized and the evaluation to be useful to the academic community.

The final version of the approved article will be published with the name(s) of the editor(s) responsible for overseeing the manuscript’s peer review process.

 

 

Open Data

 

EAN encourages the sharing of research data in recognized repositories and requires proper citation and referencing of such data to promote reproducibility and foster the development of new research. The journal recommends SciELO Data as a preferred repository, free of charge for authors.

There is a wide range of Brazilian repositories available for depositing research data. EAN offers authors the opportunity to publish their datasets free of charge on SciELO Data. Additional options can be found in the List of Recommended Repositories for Research Data Deposit.

This policy refers to “the sharing of data, code, methods, and other materials used and generated during research, which are often embedded within the texts of articles published by scientific journals.

SciELO ensures the up-to-date execution of all indexing, storage, preservation, online publication, dissemination and interoperability functions. When submitting a manuscript, all authors must complete the SciELO Open Science Compliance Form, which requires a declaration of availability of the research data that supports the text.

Authors are aware that by publishing in EAN they are agreeing to the Creative Commons Attribution Type BY (CC BY) modality adopted by the journal. Once the article has been published, its content may be copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and used for new creations, if due credit is given to the original author and due credit is given for its publication in EAN. The function of this type of license is to promote the dissemination and use of licensed materials.

If the author(s) indicate that the underlying content of the manuscript will only be made available upon request by reviewers and after the article has been approved, this condition must be clearly stated in the final version to be published. For example:

“After publication the data will be available on demand to authors - a condition justified in the manuscript.”
Authors are encouraged to consult the SciELO Guide for Research Data Citation and the SciELO Guide for Promoting Openness, Transparency, and Reproducibility in Published Research for further guidance.
 

 

 

Charging Fees

 

Once the final version of the manuscript has been approved, the author(s) of the article in Portuguese or Spanish are asked to provide the version of the article approved for publication in English, and the grammatical revision of the article submitted in the original language, accompanied by certificates from the professionals/companies accredited by the Journal. The costs of translation and grammatical revision are the responsibility of the author(s). After translation, the author(s) must send the article in the original language, grammatically revised, and the article in the English version in reply to the Journal's e-mail, in accordance with the Instructions on the Publication Flow sent by the Journal's Secretariat, accompanied by the certificate or declaration of the translator and grammar checker, as well as proof of payment of the Contributions to the Cost of Publications (CCPs).

EAN, in alignment with the SciELO Statement on Financial Sustainability, implements CCPs. These financial contributions help cover part of the costs associated with publishing research in open access under a CC-BY license.

Thus, authors do not pay a submission or manuscript evaluation fee, but only after the article has been approval for publication do they pay for CCPs, which cover the costs of affiliations, such as to the Brazilian Association of Scientific Editors (ABEC) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), editorial management (with costs related to the use of the ScholarOne platform,  the Ithenticate similarity tracker, the DOI assignments for the Portuguese or Spanish and English versions, among others), the use of Clarivate tools, the domain, hosting and maintenance of the Journal's website, and any activities involving representation the executive editor or one of the associate editors at scientific publishing events.
The current value of the CCPs is R$1,150.00 (one thousand, one hundred and fifty Brazilian reais) per article. This amount must be paid by the author(s) only after the article has been approved for publication, following instructions sent by e-mail to the corresponding author by the Journal's secretariat. EAN does not offer discounts or fee waivers.

 

 

Ethics, Misconduct, Errata, and Retraction Policy

 

In cases of article retraction due to errors, scientific misconduct (including plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data falsification or fabrication, misuse of references or citations, duplicate publication, authorship disputes, among others), or any issues that compromise the integrity of the work, EAN adheres to the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors issued by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). The journal also follows the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

EAN is a signatory of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which challenges the increasing reliance on bibliometric indicators as measures of research and researcher quality.
Additionally, EAN adopts the guidelines outlined in the SciELO Guide for the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources in Research Communication, as well as national and international standards and best practices regarding the use of AI applications and systems in scholarly publishing.

Authors should be aware of the implications provided for in the legal provisions of the Penal Code (Art. 184) and the Copyright Law (Art. 7, third paragraph of Law No. 9,610, of 1998; see Law No. 12,853, of 2013, which amends and adds some articles to provide for the collective management of copyrights, and makes other provisions). Preprints, dissertations and theses deposited in their respective repositories are not considered similarity.

EAN adopts all procedures outlined in the SciELO Guide for the Publication of Erratum, Guide for the Publication of Retractions, Guide for the Publication of Addendum,  Guide for the Publication of Expression of Concern, and Guidelines on Best Practices for Strengthening Ethics in Scientific Publication.
 

 

 

Conflict of Interest Policy

 

Conflicts of interest may be personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial in nature. Such conflicts can arise when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts.

Financial relationships of any kind must be communicated by each of the authors in Title Page. Financial conflicts of interest (when they involve direct funding, employment, consultancy, share ownership and fees) are the most easily identified and most likely to compromise the credibility of the publication, the authors, and the research itself. Conflicts can also occur with other motivations, such as personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion.

Upon submission of the manuscript, authors are responsible for identifying and disclosing any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest that may have influenced the work. If a conflict of interest exists, even if only potentially, it must be declared in a signed statement and uploaded to the submission platform as a separate document. For further information, please refer to: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.

EAN recommends that reviewers do not agree to evaluate a manuscript if they identify the existence of a conflict of interest, such as a financial conflict of interest, co-authorship, or affiliation with the same institution.

 

 

Similarity Detection Software Policy

 

The journal conducts similarity checks on all manuscripts after they have been approved for publication and only after the revisions requested by reviewers have been completed. The Crossref Similarity Check tool, powered by the internationally recognized iThenticate software, is used to identify textual overlap.

As part of this process, the manuscript is compared against millions of academic documents, databases, and repositories. The Editor-in-Chief reviews the generated report, considering both the overall similarity percentage and the nature of the textual matches (such as citations, standardized methodological sections, and references). There is no fixed threshold for automatic rejection; however, similarity levels exceeding 20–25%, when not justified by technical content, may be considered indicative of potential plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

If plagiarism or self-plagiarism is detected, the corresponding author is formally notified and receives the similarity report generated by the software. Authors are given the opportunity to provide clarifications or make corrections within a seven-day period. The Editor-in-Chief evaluates the explanations and revised manuscript and determines whether a new similarity check is necessary. If the issue remains unresolved or the retained content compromises the scientific integrity of the manuscript, it will be rejected.
 

 

 

Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources

 

EAN follows the authorship criteria established by the ICMJE and asks authors to state at the time of submission whether they have used generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Chatbots (such as ChatGPT) or image creators in the production of the submitted work. Authors who use these technologies should describe, both in the Cover Letter and in the submitted manuscript (in the Methods section), how they used them. Authors should not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as author or co-author. For further information, refer to the Guide to the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools and Resources in Research Communication on the SciELO Network.

 

 

Sex and Gender Considerations

 

As part of its ongoing development, EAN is committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in scientific research and publishing. The journal aligns with the values and recommendations of ABEC (Associação Brasileira de Editores Científicos) and EASE (European Association of Science Editors).

EAN promotes inclusive nursing that reflects the disciplinary, human, and geographic diversity of the broader community. We welcome submissions from authors of all ethnicities, races, colors, religions, sexes, sexual orientations, gender identities, nationalities, disabilities, ages, and other individual statuses. We are committed to eliminating bias in our editorial and peer review processes and continuously strive to identify and implement best practices in scholarly publishing.

The editorial team at EAN, as well as authors publishing in the journal, are expected to follow the Sex and Gender Equity in Research – SAGER. These guidelines provide a framework for reporting sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, results, and interpretation of findings. Additionally, EAN observes gender equity policies in the composition of its editorial board.
 

 

 

Ethics Committee Approval

 

Authors must attach a statement of approval issued by the Research Ethics Committee of the institution responsible for authorizing the study.
The article must contain explicit information on the ethical precepts of the research, in accordance with the guidelines and regulatory frameworks of each country. It is forbidden to publish the names of research participants or in any way that could represent a breach of the principle of anonymity.

Composition of Manuscripts

 

Manuscripts should be written in the official spelling, double-spaced, Times New Roman font size 12, A4 size page layout (21cm x 29.7cm). Manuscripts should be submitted in Portuguese, English or Spanish only. The titles of the sections (INTRODUCTION, METHOD, RESULTS, DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION/FINAL CONSIDERATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE) should appear at the beginning of each section, in bold, upper case and aligned to the left. The discussion must be separated from the results. Use the term 'conclusion' for studies with a quantitative approach, and 'final considerations' for studies with a qualitative approach.

We recommend that the texts be written taking into account the Inclusive Language Guidelines, of the American Psychological Association (APA), as a way to communicating more effectively and more in line with the diversity of society, considering the guidelines on how to use culturally sensitive terms and phrases that respect and value the identities and experiences of historically marginalized or stereotyped groups.

We also suggest highlighting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the text, to which the results of the work are aligned, where appropriate, in order to improve the visibility of the article: in the title, in the abstract, the keywords or the body of the manuscript.

In order to optimize the visibility of articles, we recommend that titles, abstracts and keywords refer, whenever possible, to the controlled vocabulary of the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) or Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), produced by the National Library of Medicine (NML).
