Center for Scholarly Writing, Communication and Editorial Leadership

Thank you for taking the time to visit the website of the Center for Scholarly Writing’s Nursing Editors History Project. We appreciate your interest!

The Nursing Editors History Project is an initiative to:

  • Document the history of editorial leadership in nursing from 1900 to the present.
  • Identify the people and organizations that have influenced the development of modern nursing practice and nursing knowledge.
  • Preserve stories provided by informants that relate to edit orial leadership in nursing publications.
  • Provide a database that can be accessed, searched, and used by a variety of scholars to who seek to understand the important role of editorial leadership.

As you browse this website you will find several pages of interest:

  • A “Journal Gallery” which lists the journals currently indexed in the NEHP. For each journal the following information is included:
  • Current name of journal, with a cover image;
  • Name of current Editor-in-Chief, with starting date for the role;
  • Year that publication began for the journal with years of publication;
  • Frequency of publication;
  • A link to the journal website;
  • Name of founding editor(s), with tenure;
  • Name of past editor(s), with tenure
  • Three different Editors galleries: Current Editors-in-Chief; Founding Editors; and Past Editors.
  • Each view has similar information for editors, such as date started, dated ended, and years in role.
  • When available, we have included pictures of editors — if you have a picture of someone who is missing a photo, we want to hear from you!
  • A page to submit a journal for inclusion in the Nursing Editors History Project.
