Plastic Surgical Nursing (PSN), the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses, is currently soliciting manuscripts. PSN, published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), is a quarterly journal that has been published continuously since 1980. PSN presents the latest advances in plastic and reconstructive surgical as well as nonsurgical nursing practice. Written by and for plastic surgical nurses, PSN features clinical manuscripts covering a wide variety of surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Patient education techniques and research findings are also included, as well as manuscripts discussing the ethical issues and trends in this expanding clinical nursing specialty. The journal also contains continuing education for the entire scope of plastic surgical nursing practice. PSN is interested in receiving manuscripts on a variety of topics that would be of interest to the readership but not limited to plastic surgery topics. Our readers pride themselves in having broad nursing knowledge; so, general interest topics are welcome as well. Authors from other health care professions also are encouraged to submit manuscripts. Easily submit and review manuscripts online with LWW's Editorial Manager. This automated, Web-based tool simplifies the manuscript submission and review processes and enables users to submit electronically, review, and track manuscripts and artwork online in a few easy steps. The journal invites contributors to use the Editorial Manager interface at https://www.editorialmanager.com/psn.
PSN journal staff are willing to work with novice writers and walk them through the writing process. All you have to do is ask. The most important thing is that you share your knowledge with other nurses.
