Good science

Abstract

Nurse practitioner (NP) science is a dynamic and evolving field that integrates both natural and social sciences to advance the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. As an integral voice in NP scholarship, the Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is committed to publishing peer-reviewed articles that empower NPs to drive advancements in practice, education, advocacy, research, and leadership. The JAANP is dedicated to building strong, respectful relationships with authors, reviewers, and the broader NP and health care community. The JAANP maintains a steadfast commitment to the integrity of scholarship by cultivating a culture of inquiry that supports patient-centered, high-quality NP practice. We emphasize inclusion, ensuring that our authors, peer reviewers, and editorial board members represent a broad spectrum of perspectives. By amplifying diverse voices in education, research, and policy, we aim to improve health care for all and address the unique needs of varied patient populations.
