EDITORIAL BOARD MEMBERS
The Editorial Board of NSC Nursing consists of highly qualified researchers, professors, and experts in various areas of nursing research, as well as specialists in psychometrics, psychology, and biostatistics. Members of the Editorial Board contribute to the scientific development of the Journal by supporting its editorial policies, strategic direction, and quality standards.
The Editorial Board works closely with the Review Board, whose members are responsible for the scientific evaluation of submitted manuscripts through the peer review process. The Review Board may be supported by Associate Reviewers, who contribute to manuscript assessment under the guidance of senior reviewers and the Editorial Board. When specific expertise is required, additional External Reviewers may be invited to contribute to the evaluation of individual submissions.
The Editorial Board includes a Managing Editor, who coordinates the editorial workflow, oversees the Journal’s indexing activities, and prepares a final report for each article based on reviewers’ comments. An Assistant to the Managing Editor handles correspondence with authors, reviewers, and partners. The Editor-in-Chief oversees the transparency and integrity of the editorial process, makes final decisions on submitted manuscripts, promotes collaboration with other journals, and develops strategic partnerships for the Journal.
