Authors from all over the world are invited to share their original research and ideas on the platform of Advanced Research Publications (ARP) to get maximum impact in the scientific community. Each paper submitted to Trends in Nursing Administration and Education (TINAE) is double-blind peer-reviewed and professionally checked for quality. TINAE provides support to authors at every step in the process of publication.
Authors are encouraged to submit their work to TINAE as the journal
is supervised by highly qualified professionals working in reputed institutions backed by a competent publication team. The following guidelines are framed for authors to draft their manuscripts with ease.
Peer-Review Process
The critical evaluation of articles submitted to TINAE by specialists who are typically not on the editorial staff is known as the peer-review process. The reviewer evaluates the paper based on its quality, validity, originality, and adherence to proper procedures.
We follow the ICMJE's (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) peer-review guidelines and the Committee on Publication Ethics' Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers policy.
Two or more reviewers are assigned to articles that satisfy the minimum requirements. Peer-review is double-blind, meaning that neither the reviewers' nor the authors' identities are disclosed to each other.
The initial step for a newly submitted manuscript is the plagiarism check. The next step is for the editors to screen the manuscript; if they determine that it is not original, of insufficient quality, or outside the purpose and scope of TINAE, they may reject it.
The minimum number of requirements for an article is met and it is assigned to two or more reviewers. A reviewer has fifteen days to offer his comments on a manuscript. The author receives reviewers' comments on the paper after it has been evaluated. The author sends the revised file to the reviewer once more. Satisfaction of the reviewers and editor is a must before acceptance of the paper for publication in TINAE.
Open Access Policy
TINAE is pleased to offer you the opportunity to publish your articles in an open-access format. This implies that anyone, anywhere, at any time, on the internet will be able to freely view your article both now and in the future.
Each and every open-access article passes stringent editorial, production, and peer-review processes. An exclusive licence agreement, whereby the publisher receives first publishing rights to your article while you, the author, retain the copyright, must be signed.
The CC BY-NC Licence, which allows for non-commercial remixing, modification, and expansion of the work, is used for publication in TINAE. The parties are free to license their derivative works under different terms, but their new works must be non-commercial and should credit the original publication. Authors have had unrestricted use of their copyright and complete publishing rights since 2012. They can make their published work available to other parties by providing a DOI link to the published version of their work on our website. Trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property (including research data) are owned by the writers. They receive credit for the published article.

Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is the use of someone else's ideas or works without giving due credit or permission. At the submission stage, an automated plagiarism checker is used to verify all submissions for plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, which is illegal as well. TINAE has strict policies against plagiarism. The articles are rejected if they are found to contain plagiarised text. Our team at TINAE has been verifying the similarity of submitted manuscripts using the iThenticate software in association with CrossRef from 2021.
The authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript is entirely their work and hasn't been published before. No words, figures, or tables from other publications may be used by authors without proper citation and authorization.
For the first author or corresponding author or any author as such, TINAE complies totally with the guidelines given by the ICMJE. The ICMJE recommends the following criteria for authorship:

Permissions
There are various permissions required to carry out research work and get it published in TINAE - approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee or research ethics board, informed consent from the subjects or guardians under study, copyrighted or patented products or technology etc.
The anonymity of the patient must be preserved in every submission. The patients/participants or their parents/guardians must provide a written agreement for the author to use any figure in which the patient's identity could be revealed. The author must include a statement in the article acknowledging receipt of this consent.
Submission
Our self-explanatory online submission system will ease the process of manuscript submission to TINAE. Authors from anywhere in the world are welcome to register and submit a manuscript. TINAE uses the Online Journals System (OJS) to submit and publish articles. This system ensures a transparent and quick review process and makes it easier for authors, editors, and reviewers to communicate with one another. It also enables article submission with progress tracking all the way to the proof stage.
Registration to our OJS is required before manuscript submission to TINAE. If the author has already registered on our OJS, he/she can log in and submit the manuscript right away. If this is the first time the author is using the system, he/she must first register before the manuscript can be submitted. We request that all persons who intend to register on OJS should choose the options of Author and Reader. This will help the system to allow the user to act on both of these roles for TINAE. We request you to provide your consent for these roles which will further improve the quality of TINAE and we will be highly obliged for it. If you experience any difficulties during the process, please contact info@adrpublications.in via e-mail.

Title Page
The author should submit a title page that:
Structure of Research Article
A manuscript/paper should not be more than 4500 words in case of original research or systematic or meta-analysis. For short reports, case reports etc., the number of words is less. A maximum of thirty references may be used. Generally speaking, these articles should not contain more than six contributors, however, there is no limit to the number of authors, if the contribution of each of them is justified.
The following arrangement is recommended when compiling a research article (optional):
Abstract
This part summarises the article's key ideas, presents the findings and conclusions, and clarifies the importance of the findings. It is important to note that the abstract should not contain any references. It should not consist of more than 250 words. Please refer to https://groups.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/14601/Z39-14-1997_r2015.pdf for additional information.
The abstract of a research article should be structured including the following headings:
Abstracts can be unstructured for other categories of articles.
Keywords
A minimum of three and a maximum of ten keywords are required.
Introduction
The following should be included in the Introduction section:
Materials and Methods
To help other researchers use the work in further research, this section provides a brief description of the study settings, sample size, sampling method, study design, tools & techniques of observation and analysis, statistical tests, ethical approval, etc. This section should be thoroughly described so that readers can find the scientific robustness of the study.
Results
The primary study findings must be mentioned by the authors. The text, tables, and figures should display the results in a logical order, with the primary or most significant findings appearing first. They should also make sure that tables and graphs do not include duplicate data and should not be repeating tables into text.
Discussion
This section should evaluate the results’ validity and compare them to related findings from earlier studies using the appropriate in-text citation style. Here the results should be given with a concise justification of their importance and applicability. The limitations of the methods and the importance of the findings for additional research should also be stated. It needs to be brief.
Conclusion(s)
This should clearly outline the research's key findings and provide an explanation of their significance and applicability. This section can include the recommendations of the study which have wider application or public health importance.
Acknowledgment(s)
A brief and accurate acknowledgement of support organisations, as well as any applicable scientific or technical assistance, should be included in this area. It is inappropriate to bring up standard institutional or departmental support.
Conflict of Interest and Sources of Funding
Financial, institutional, personal, and other relationships that could affect findings and decision-making should be mentioned here. The authors should declare such associations, if any. It should be made very apparent if there isn't a conflict of interest.
A list of funding sources for the work must be declared by the authors.
In the article, disclosure of funding sources and conflicts of interest should come before references.
References
The authors need to adhere to the NLM style guide for reference. References within the text should be cited as superscript numbers. At the end of every manuscript, there should be a numbered list of references. The names of all authors should be mentioned in each reference.
A few examples of references have been mentioned below:

Figures and Tables
Every figure and table should have an Arabic number assigned to it and should be cited in the text at the beginning of the description (e.g., Figure 1, Tables 1 and 3). The figures and tables should be provided at the appropriate places in the text or should be grouped at the end of the manuscript to be submitted. There should be a caption for each table (maximum 15 words). Any non-standard symbols and abbreviations should have an explanation in the footnotes. In a similar vein, every figure needs a legend (not more than 300 words) or caption (not more than 15 words). Any time a part of the figure is designated by an arrow, number, symbol, or letter, the legend should identify and explain each one. An example of a figure caption has been provided below:

Withdrawal Policy
TINAE is committed to raising the standard of papers using processes such as plagiarism check, review, copyediting, and formatting. Our team puts in endless efforts to achieve this goal. Therefore, if an item is withdrawn in the midst of its processing, it is very discouraging. We work hard to make the publishing process as convenient as possible for authors, and in exchange, we expect them to abide by all ethical guidelines. We adhere to the following policy for the withdrawal of articles:
Within ten working days from the article's submission date, the author will receive an update on the result of the plagiarism check of the article. Once the article is found to be free of plagiarised text, the author will be requested to share the Open Access Licence Form with us and to make the payment for the Article Processing Charges.
Article withdrawals from TINAE following the submission of the Open Access Licence Form are not permitted. An article may be withdrawn if it is determined that the reason for the withdrawal is valid. However, if the payment has been made for the Article Processing Charges, it will not be reimbursed. Details of published articles that are withdrawn or retracted for valid reasons will be posted on our website.
