To contribute to knowledge transmission and utilisation that stimulates and encourages praxis - "the action and reflection of people upon their world in order to transform it" (Friere, 1972).

To publish research, commentaries and discussion papers related to New Zealand, the Pacific Rim, and Indigenous peoples that are relevant to any aspect of nursing or health care practice that has the potential to influence nursing practice.

Cover

Crimson was deliberately chosen by the Editorial Group as the colour for this journal as it represents, for us, imagination, intuition, potentiality, struggle and transformation.

Koru

Designed for this journal by artist, Sam Rolleston: The central Koru indicates growth, activity and action. The mirrored lateral Koru branches indicate reflection. Transformation is shown by the change of the initial plain Koru design to a more elaborate one.

Nursing Praxis is grateful to the many reviewers who volunteer to review manuscripts prior to publication. On average reviewers are sent 2 reviews each year, depending on their area of expertise. We are always looking to add to our database of reviewers both Aotearoa New Zealand and international.  

Nursing Praxis subscribes to a blind peer review process, reviewers are not informed of who the author is and the authors and editorial board are not informed of who has completed the review. This ensures anonymity for reviewers and authors and a completely fair process prior to publication.

Reviews are requested via email and reviewers are asked to complete the review questionnaire within approximately 3 weeks. If you as a reviewer are requested to complete a review and you are not able to complete it in the time frame available, just let us know and we will send it to another reviewer.

If you have any questions about being a reviewer for Nursing Praxis , please email us at admin@nursingpraxis.org

We value the contribution of all of our reviewers and Nursing Praxis Reviewers who have completed reviews are issued with certificates annually.
