The Journal of Nursing Education has announced the winner of this year's annual Christine A. Tanner Scholarly Writing Award.
The 2013 winners are Dr. Cynthia M. Clark; Lynda Olender; Diane Kenski; and Cari Cardoni for 'Exploring and Addressing Faculty-to-Faculty Incivility: A National Perspective and Literature Review,' which was published in the April 2013 issue of the journal.
This new award has been established by STM publishing company SLACK Incorporated, publisher of the Journal of Nursing Education, in recognition of the contributions of Dr. Christine A. Tanner, who served as Editor of the journal from 1991-2012 and is now Editor Emeritus. One of the most influential voices in the field, Dr. Tanner had, and continues to have, a profound impact on a generation of nurse educators through her work as a writer, teacher, researcher-scholar, and mentor and friend to faculty, students, and colleagues across the United States and around the world.
The award was presented at the Journal of Nursing Education Editorial Board meeting, held during the National League for Nursing's annual Education Summit. The purpose of this award is to recognise excellence in writing and the impact of outstanding research or other scholarly works on advancing knowledge in the field of nursing education.
The journal publishes major articles, research briefs, educational innovations, and syllabus selections. Exclusive content: articles are posted a few weeks after acceptance and prior to print, exclusively for subscribers, on the journal's website, www.healio.com/jne.
