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 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
Integrity in scientific publishing 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 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 |

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. |
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. |
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. |
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). |
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).
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. |
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. 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. |
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). |

Author Contributions
|
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 accepted article must include a statement of author contributions at the end of the manuscript, following the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) structure. |
Manuscript Preparation
|

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). |
