Academic publisher SAGE has announced the launch of a new open access journal, Asian/Pacific Island Nursing Journal (APN). The only scholarly publication dedicated exclusively to Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander healthcare, APN provides an international forum for the exchange of knowledge among researchers, educators, and practitioners. The new journal will unify nursing science and behavioral and social science health care providers.
Published quarterly, APN will include peer-reviewed articles on methods, interventions, instrumentation, and educational techniques that are unique to the Asian and Pacific Islander groups; theoretical foundations that increase the understanding of unique responses to changes in health and illness; bio-psycho-social-ecological-spiritual impact on practice, education and research; and policy issues as a result of rigorous research outcomes.
APN will publish its first issue in 2015.
