International Journal of Nursing Knowledge (IJNK)

The International Journal of Nursing Knowledge is a leading academic publication established in 1990 and serves as the official journal of NANDA International. It functions as a global forum for advancing nursing science, particularly around the creation and application of standardized nursing languages, terminologies, and classifications critical for improving clinical reasoning, patient assessment, and quality of care. With quarterly issues, the journal disseminates original research, systematic reviews, conceptual analyses, and practical case studies that deepen understanding of nursing diagnoses, clinical reasoning processes, and the implementation of standardized language in varied healthcare settings. Its readership includes nurse researchers, educators, clinicians, informaticians, and policy makers invested in evidence-based practice and the science of nursing knowledge. Peer-reviewed and indexed in major databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science, the journal’s content reflects rigorous scholarship that shapes both theoretical foundations and clinical applications in nursing. The editorial leadership, currently under Jane Flanagan, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, ANP-BC, FNI, FNAP, FAAN, fosters high standards and relevance for contemporary issues in nursing knowledge development. Recent developments include an announced transition of publishing operations to SAGE Publishing, aimed at expanding global reach and editorial support.
