Critique & Replication

This issue of ANS continues a long-standing tradition of periodically calling for manuscripts that are specifically developed to challenge, update or affirm what has been previously published in ANS. The purpose of this issue topic is to extend the discourse of knowledge development in nursing, building on or challenging that which has been published in the past. Manuscripts can reflect philosophic, critical, empirical or theoretical approaches that build on works previously published in ANS. July 15, 2009

We are seeking manuscripts for this issue that address the issues of world-wide migration, and the effect of migration, or related concepts such as dislocation or diaspora, on health care and the health of populations. Submissions can focus on scholarly work that addresses the migration of nurses and other health care workers, or the migration of general populations of people. Related concepts concerning the displacement or relocation of people from their homeland.

Emancipatory Scholarship

Vol 33:3

September 2010

Manuscripts for this issue should focus on philosophies, methods, or outcomes of scholarly work based on emancipatory perspectives, or those perspectives that challenge the status quo and injustices sustained by a prevailing social order.  Examples include upstream thinking, participatory or actioden research, critical social theory, poststructural or postcolonial methods, theory or philosophy.  A clearly identified nursing focus must be central to the work.  January 15, 2010

Nursing Essentials

Vol 33:4

December 2010

For this issue of ANS, we are turning to the broad and very basic concept of essentials – that which is elemental, at the heart of the discipline, and of critical value to those for whom we care.  We seek manuscripts related to essentials: empirical studies that affirm the essential processes and outcomes of nursing care; advances in theoretical frameworks clarifying that which is essential to nursing; ethical dialogues revealing fundamental practice concerns; other philosophic frameworks that provide an essential basis for nursing practice; or fresh perspectives on the historical roots and/or contemporary politics of the essentials of nursing. We also welcome submissions that demonstrate links among the essentials of nursing and contemporary issues of race, class, and gender.

Theory-Oriented Practice

Vol 33:4

March 2011

For this issue of ANS, we seek manuscripts that provide cutting-edge evidence of the value of theory in practice, and the value of practice for the development of nursing knowledge.  We will consider manuscripts that reflect any of the broad types of scholarship that contribute to the development of nursing knowledge, such as philosophic analysis, all forms of empirical research, historical and political analysis, theory development, and reports of innovative methodologic approaches that hold promise for bridging the theory/practice gap.
