About the Journal

INTRODUCTION

The Journal of Birgunj Nursing Campus (JBNC) is an official, peer-reviewed Journal of Birgunj Nursing Campus. It is published annually and accepts articles in the following categories: Original Articles, Review Articles, Case Report, Viewpoints, short communications and Letter to the Editor and others. Authors do not have to pay for submission, processing or publication of articles at JBNC.

 

SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL

The journal publishes articles related to research in the field of nursing sciences and biomedical sciences related to all the disciplines of the medical sciences, medical education, public health, health policy, and health care management, including ethical and social issues about health and wellbeing. The journal gives preference to good quality research papers with new findings, and clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies.

 

THE EDITORIAL PROCESS

Manuscripts will be submitted to JBNC and reviewed for possible publication, provided they have not already been published elsewhere, submitted concurrently, or already accepted for publication. A manuscript may be rejected by an editor before formal peer review begins. Editors first review all submitted manuscripts. Submitters will be notified of the reviewer's comments and the acceptance or rejection of their manuscript. Accepted articles will be edited for grammar, punctuation, typographic style, and formatting. Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author and must be returned within 5 days. Non-response to the proof copy may delay the publication of the same article or may even result in rejection by the journal.

 

THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS

The manuscript will be sent to two expert reviewers who are blind to the identity of the authors for careful review, input, and comments. The final decision to accept or reject an article is based on the Editor-in-Chief and reviewers. Authors will be notified of manuscript rejection/acceptance along with reviewer comments. An accepted paper must be resubmitted after making any necessary changes or resolving any questions raised during the peer review process. Reviewers are asked to submit their reviews within two weeks.
