Nursing Communication, a peer-reviewed, on-line, open access journal, publishes the finest empirical research concerning the communicative behavior of nurses. Scholars of communication, nursing, medicine, public health, psychology, sociology, and other related fields of study are invited to submit manuscripts. Contributors have three options: original research/major article, research brief, and literature review. Investigations employing any empirical method―with a sound experimental design―are considered. Nursing Communication publishes semi-annually.
