Open Access Editorial Standards | INANE – International Academy of Nursing Editors

"At the 2014 INANE conference in Portland, Maine, those present launched a project to widely disseminate information about quality standards of open access publishing, and inform consumers of nursing journal literature about the unethical practices of publishers who do not adhere to these standards (known as 'predatory' publishers).   A team of collaborators led by Sally Thorne developed an overview 'anchor' document that is published in Nurse Author & Editor.  This position statement is titled 'Predatory Publishing: What Editors Need to Know.' It is available for free for any interested person; you only need to register on the site (at no cost) to have access. Subsequent to this publication, nursing journal editors are publishing their own editorials tailored to their journal audience.  Please use the form below to notify us of your editorial; all will be listed here as soon as we receive notice of your publication."
