I’ve had a few questions over the summer from people wanting more information about how to publish. So I’ve put together some helpful online, full-text resources from credible sources on writing for nursing/health science publications. Let me know if there are others you’ve come across that you find particularly helpful.
Ten Lessons on Writing for Publication (Oncology Nursing Society)
Writing for Publication: A Guide for New Authors (International Journal for Quality in Health Care)
Writing for Publication (Wiley-Blackwell)
Writing for Publication: A Practical Guide (Nursing Standard)
Writing in the Health Sciences: A Comprehensive Guide (University of Toronto)
And of course, if you’re writing for a nursing journal you’ll need:
APA Style (American Psychological Association)
If you’re writing for a medical journal you can get free assistance with the AMA Manual of Style (access requires a subscription), via AMA Style Inside.
