Author Guidelines

Guideline for Author

We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper into a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article.

Selection of papers for publication is based on their scientific excellence, distinctive contribution to knowledge (including methodological development) and their importance to contemporary nursing, midwifery or related professions. Submission to this journal proceeds fully online, and you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of your files.

The manuscript should be written in Ms. Word format. Figure, illustration, and picture are included in manuscript file. Submit manuscript directly to https://jurnal.edi.or.id/index.php/Junedik. Junedik will automatically reject any manuscript submitted via email or hardcopy.

The Editorial Board determines feasible manuscript after obtaining recommendations from peer reviewers. Manuscript revision is author responsibility, and manuscripts that are not feasible will be returned to the author.

Ethics In Publication

This journal follows the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines and requests authors to familiarize themselves with these guidelines at: http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines. Authors should pay particular attention to the following points: If they have legitimate reasons for reporting separately on different parts of the same study or data set, they must justify this to the editor at the time of submission. Additionally, readers should be informed if different aspects of the same study are being reported. Therefore, the methods section of the submitted manuscript must clearly explain why the paper warrants separate reporting.

Types Of Manuscript

1. Original Articles

Original articles should present clinical studies or research that have not been previously published or are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 7,000 words, including the list of authors and their affiliations, corresponding author information, acknowledgments, and figure legends. An abstract of no more than 250 words is required. References should primarily come from international journals indexed by Scopus or Web of Science, and the manuscript may include a maximum of five figures or tables.

2. Systematic Reviews

Systematic reviews are comprehensive, critical assessments of evidence from various data sources related to a specific topic in the field of nursing. A systematic search of relevant data sources must be conducted, and the collected items should be evaluated carefully for inclusion based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. The review should include a detailed description and an analytical graphical representation of the process. The characteristics of the participants or patient populations in the studies included must be described, along with the measures of exposure and outcomes, indicating the corresponding data sources. A structured abstract is required, following the same format as for short reviews. The text should not exceed 7,000 words, including acknowledgments, and may include up to four tables and/or figures.

3. Meta-analyses

Meta-analyses should adhere to the same guidelines as systematic reviews. They are expected to provide comprehensive information and a statistical assessment of pooled estimates for predefined outcomes, study heterogeneity and quality, potential publication bias, meta-regression, and subgroup analyses where appropriate. Authors are encouraged to submit PRISMA flow diagrams, depending on the type of study. Both systematic reviews and meta-analyses will follow the same editorial process as original articles.
