The call also invites discussions on the potential challenges posed by AI integration in nursing, such as algorithmic bias, technology trust, and ethical implications. Additionally, the journal seeks research that explores the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of AI algorithms in nursing contexts.
Notable out-of-scope topics include AI exclusively focused on physicians or patients.
Authors are encouraged to submit original research, literature reviews, and viewpoints related to AI in nursing. Preprints are highly recommended for peer review. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process and accepted articles will be published as part of the special theme issue on AI in Nursing.
