Your Paper Your Way for Initial Submission The Journal of Emergency Nursing practices Elsevier's 'Your Paper, Your Way' for the initial submission. It is strongly recommended
that authors read the full description of this type of submission at https://www.elsevier.com/authors/journal-authors/your-paper-your-way. We differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. Please submit all files as Word documents. You may submit tables and figures separately or as part of the manuscript body. Only when your paper is at the revision stage will you be
requested to put your paper into the publisher's 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your manuscript. The Journal of Emergency Nursing will consider manuscripts deposited in preprint servers for publication. Ethics All manuscripts and journal activities are expected to adhere to Ethics in publishing and
Ethical guidelines for journal publication. Studies on human subjects require documentation of a policy that exempts the project from ethical committee approval, an ethics committee letter determining the project is exempt from review, or ethics committee approval. Appropriate consents, permissions, and releases must be obtained where an author wishes to include case details or other personal
information or images of patients and any other individuals in an Elsevier publication. The author must retain written consents but copies for individual patients should not be provided to the journal. Only if specifically requested by the journal in exceptional circumstances (for example if a legal issue arises) must the author provide copies of the consents or evidence that such consents have been obtained. For more information, please review the
Elsevier Policy on the Use of Images or Personal Information of Patients or other Individuals. Unless you have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of the manuscript and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission. Authors are required to disclose
to the editor, in a cover letter and in response to an automatic prompt online at the time of submission, any commercial associations that could pose a conflict of interest or financial bias. Corresponding authors are also responsible for submitting co-authors' Conflict of Interest declarations. This declaration includes transparency regarding consultation fees, patent-licensing arrangements, company stock, as well as payments for conducting or publicizing a study, travel, honoraria, gifts,
and/or meals related to any commercial association posing a potential conflict. If the article is accepted for publication, the editor will determine how any conflict of interest should be disclosed. All protentional or actual conflicts of interest are to be provided on every manuscript JEN accepts for readers knowledge. Authors are expected to fulfill the requirements of their employer's publication policy before submitting their manuscripts. Initial Style and Formatting
Preparation for All Manuscripts Recommended Length for Initial Submission Specific to the Journal of Emergency Nursing Authors also are strongly encouraged to include the following on the initial submission to facilitate editor and reviewer evaluation for coherence with journal aims and scope: Transparent reporting checklists All research, review, and case review manuscripts are to follow the EQUATOR Network (www.equator-network.org) reporting guideline that most closely matches the study design. Logic models need to be included in program development and evaluation manuscripts. Section/department manuscripts that report the development of an intervention or evaluate
clinical guideline(s) are also to follow relevant EQUATOR Network transparent reporting guidance. The following table lists common designs and checklists submitted to the Journal of Emergency Nursing:
Not all Program evaluations, Clinically Based Reviews, Narrative Reviews, or Clinical Science Translation Reviews will have a corresponding EQUATOR Network guideline. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis. REVISED SUBMISSION PREPARATION Response to Reviewers and EQUATOR Network Guidelines Authors are expected to provide a detailed response to editor and reviewer comments in the "Response to Reviewers" file. For study types with corresponding EQUATOR Network Guidelines, authors are to provide the corresponding guideline checklist in the "Response to Reviewers" file as well as the page and line number identifying the location of each checklist item in the revised manuscript. Format The Journal of Emergency Nursing utilizes the AMA Manual of Style, 11th Edition. Conform all aspects of the submitted manuscript to this format, with the following additions, modifications, and clarifications: Title page The title page should include the manuscript title, full name(s) of author(s), academic degrees, position, institution, city, and state. If applicable, the author(s) ENA chapter name, the author(s) ORCID number, and the author(s) Twitter handle. Author credentials are to be listed in the following order: highest academic credential (e.g., MSN), licensure (e.g., RN), certifications (e.g., CEN), and honorary recognition (e.g., FAEN). Include postal address, telephone numbers, email address, and Twitter handle. A CRediT author statement should be included on the title page. The taxonomy and Elsevier policy can be found here. An example CRediT statement is as follows: Zhang San: Conceptualization, Methodology, Software; Priya Singh: Data curation, Writing- Original draft preparation; Wang Wu: Visualization, Investigation; Jan Jansen: Supervision; Ajay Kumar: Software, Validation; Sun Qi: Writing-Reviewing and Editing. All authors must meet ICMJE recommendations for authorship criteria:
Abstract Provide a structured abstract of ≤250 words with the following headings: objective, method, results, conclusion for research, review, and quality improvement manuscripts. Provide an unstructured abstract for clinical, focused or column papers that are not research and case review papers as follows: 1–2 sentences about the overarching clinical problem; a purpose statement; a quasi-methods statement indicating the manuscript is a case review, clinical summary, or another manuscript type; up to three main points or reader learning objectives from the manuscript. No abbreviations or references/citations should appear in the abstract. Keywords Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) whenever possible. Keywords must use American English spelling and avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. Body of Text The Journal of Emergency Nursing style uses standard abbreviations consistently throughout the manuscript. Unusual or coined abbreviations are spelled out at first mention, followed in parentheses by the abbreviation. The terms "emergency nurse," "emergency physician," "emergency nurse practitioner," and "emergency nurse manager" are strongly encouraged when referring to the individual who practices in the emergency specialty. Use "prescribe," "prescription," or "apply protocols" in place of "order" as often as possible. Adhere to the use of inclusive language. Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Manuscripts should use inclusive language throughout, make no assumptions about any reader's beliefs or commitments, and contain nothing that might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of race, sex, culture or any other characteristic. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, for instance by using 'he or she', 'his/her' instead of 'he' or 'his', and by making use of job titles that are free of stereotyping (e.g. 'chairperson' instead of 'chairman' and 'flight attendant' instead of 'stewardess'). The generic name of a drug is used instead of the proprietary name whenever possible. If it is necessary to use a trading name for a drug, the name is capitalized and inserted parenthetically after the generic name when first mentioned. Use the FDA/ISMP tall lettering system for all look-alike, sound-alike medications. Product names are treated similarly, and the manufacturer's full name, city, and state are cited in parentheses in the text after the mention of the product name. Weights and measurements are expressed in metric units and temperature in degrees centigrade followed by Fahrenheit degrees in parentheses. Decimals For numbers containing decimals, express to a maximum of two decimal places. If rounding is carried out in tabular material, please add a table footnote to note that values have been rounded and alert the author via a query to review the changes. If rounding would affect meaning or significance, retain the author's additional decimal places. P
values should also be expressed to two decimal places except when the result is P < .001. Do not round to two decimal places when significance will be affected (eg, P = .049 to P = .05). Required Author Disclosure Forms
TOP Guidelines: Author disclosure All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double anonymized) or the manuscript file (if single anonymized). If there are no interests to declare, then please state this: Declarations of interest: none. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information. Each author must declare his or her contribution to the article. All authors must have materially participated in the research and/or article preparation, so roles for all authors should be described. The statement that all authors have approved the final article should be true and included in the disclosure. Conflicts of interest or competing interests Authors must disclose any commercial associations that could pose a conflict of interest or financial bias. Corresponding authors are also responsible for submitting co-authors' Conflict of Interest declarations. These include consultation fees, patent-licensing arrangements, company stock, payments for conducting or publicizing a study, travel, honoraria, gifts, or meals. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the editor will determine how any conflict of interest should be disclosed. References References are expected to be to the original (primary) sources of information in most instances. Include reference DOI numbers when available. Responsibility for the accuracy of references lies entirely with the authors. Copyright If copyrighted material is used in the manuscript, a permission statement from the copyright holder is to be uploaded. Upon submitting the manuscript at the Editorial Manager, instructions for concurrent submission of the permission letter(s) will be provided. Ethical Statement For research manuscripts, an electronic copy of the Ethical Statement (also called the Institutional Review Board (IRB) permission letter) from the institution that granted permission to conduct the research study must accompany the first revision. An English translation must also be submitted if the IRB letter in not in English. For Quality Improvement (QI) or Evidenced-Based Practice (EBP) projects, reports of projects involving human participants must include a statement explaining what type of ethical oversight was required, or describing the ethical standards followed at the author's organization to conduct the QI or EBP project. This should include a copy of a policy exempting single-site QI projects from IRB oversight, IRB exemption from review letters, or IRB approval. The Ethical Statement is to be uploaded to the "Ethical Statement" section of the manuscript in the EM submission system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jen. Data, Code, and Research Materials Availability Section For research manuscripts, authors should provide a data availability statement indicating whether the data, methods used in the analysis, code, and materials used to conduct the research will be made available to any researcher for purposes of reproducing the results or replicating the procedure. In both the author note and at the end of the method section, either specify where that material will be available or note the ethical or legal reasons for not doing so. Photographic Consent Photographs of identifiable persons, whether patients or staff, must be accompanied by signed releases, such as the following: "I hereby give [author's name] permission to use the photograph of [subject's name] in the Journal of Emergency Nursing." Changes to authorship Authors are expected to consider the list and order of authors carefully prior to submitting their manuscript, providing the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if the Journal Editor approves. To request such a change, the editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (email, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of adding or removing authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Only in exceptional circumstances will the editor consider the authors' addition, deletion, or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the editor will result in a corrigendum. Role of the funding source You are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the manuscript and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the manuscript for publication. It should be stated if the funding source(s) had no such involvement. Authors must disclose to the reader if they are a consultant or have any other conflict of interest in relation to the funding source with manuscript submission. Formatting of funding sources: List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance with funder's requirements: Funding: This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, WA [grant number zzzz]; and the United States Institutes of Peace [grant number aaaa]. Including detailed descriptions of the program or type of grants and awards is not necessary. When identifying funding from a block grant or other resources available to a university, college, or other research institution, submit the name of the institute or organization that provided the funding. If no funding has been provided for the research, please include the following sentence: This research did not receive any specific grant from the public, commercial, or not-for-profit funding agencies.

Data statement DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIFIC ARTICLE TYPES Protocols Detailed Description of Clinical Science Translation Review Manuscripts Clinical Science Translation Reviews are timely, authoritative and clinically oriented manuscripts with an evidenced-based synthesis of current knowledge on a topic that is fundamental to emergency nursing and emergency care (including advanced practice nursing in the emergency setting). Many Clinical Science Translation Reviews are initiated by invitation to authors who are recognized experts in the field and who also have substantive prior publications on the topic. While it is expected that the author's previously published work may be succinctly summarized with proper citation, the manuscript must differ from previous publication and be sufficiently tailored to the emergency nursing audience with elaboration on portions of the work most relevant to emergency clinical practice. Thus, it is expected that the work is not reiterated, repetitive, or duplicated. The paper will include:
Methodology and search strategy are not required as Clinical Science Translation Reviews are a venue for leading experts and researchers engaged in active research programs to communicate timely updates and recent advances relevant to the clinical reader. Infographics, illustrations, and figures are strongly encouraged. Unsolicited proposals for Clinical Science Translation Reviews are welcome with an outline submitted to the Editor-in-Chief at . Please include "Clinical Science Translational Reviews Editor Inquiry" in the email subject line. All submitted manuscripts, including those invited, will undergo peer review. Invited manuscripts will undergo expedited peer review. Invited manuscripts may be declined for publication in the Journal of Emergency Nursing. Most Clinical Science Translational Reviews will be >2500 words with 4–6 figures and 50–75 references. An abstract of no more than 100 words should briefly summarize the main ideas and themes of the manuscript. Three to five key words will be included, prioritizing the use of MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) terms. Detailed Descriptions of Sections Section articles are peer reviewed. Contributing authors are to submit section papers directly to the appropriate section editor from the list below. The section editor works with the corresponding author until the paper is completed. The author then submits the paper to JEN for peer review. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision regarding publication.

SUBMISSION CHECKLIST The following items must be included in the final Journal of Emergency Nursing manuscript that has completed the peer review and is ready for submission as a revision: Please consult this Guide for Authors for further details of any item.
SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO THE JOURNAL OF EMERGENCY NURSING All submitted manuscripts must be original material that has not been published elsewhere and is not under consideration by another journal at the time of submission to the Journal of Emergency Nursing. The review process customarily requires approximately 8 weeks, though there are exceptions. Inquiry calls or emails after 8 weeks to ask about the decision are welcomed. All manuscript submissions must be submitted through the Journal of Emergency Nursing online submission and review Website (Editorial Manager). The Website guides authors stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. Authors are to submit the text, tables, and artwork in the electronic form to this address. Submission items include a cover letter, the manuscript (including title page, abstract [for research and practice improvement manuscripts only], main text with all text pages numbered, along with 'Continuous' line numbering, references, tables, figures, and table/figure legends, permission statement(s) for any copyrighted material [save as a separate file for upload], and electronic copy of the IRB permission letter when applicable [save as a separate file for upload].) Authors are responsible for statistical analysis, which must be reviewed for accuracy prior to manuscript submission. Revised or resubmitted manuscripts should be accompanied by a "Response to Reviewers" page with specific responses to the editor and reviewer recommendations. Resubmitted manuscripts are to be identified as such in the cover letter. The submission order of files is as follows: cover letter, manuscript file(s), table(s), figure(s). Files are to be labeled with appropriate and descriptive file names (e.g., SmithText.doc, Fig1.eps, Table3.doc). Authors must submit their manuscripts electronically to this journal at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jen. The system automatically converts source files to a single PDF file of the manuscript, which is used in the peer-review process. All correspondence, including notification of the editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by via the Editorial Manager (EM) system. Submission declaration and verification Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described in the manuscript has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, preprint, a published lecture, a poster, or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically, without the written consent of the copyright holder. To verify originality, your manuscript may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check. Article transfer service This journal is part of our Article Transfer Service. This means that if the editor finds your manuscript more suitable in one of our other participating journals, you may be asked to consider transferring the manuscript to one of those. If you agree, your manuscript will be transferred automatically on your behalf with no need to reformat. Please note that your manuscript will be reviewed again by the journal to which it was transferred. More information. Peer review This journal operates a review process where the authors are blinded to the reviewers, unless the reviewers choose to sign their review. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to an appropriate number of expert reviewers to assess the paper's scientific quality. The editor is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts. The editor's decision is final. More information on types of peer review. Open access Please visit our Open Access page for more information. Language (usage and editing services) Please write your text using American or British English style and grammar, but not a mixture of both. Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing service available from Elsevier's Author Services.

DETAILS ON THE JOURNAL OF EMERGENCY NURSING ETHICS, POLICIES, FORMS, AND REQUIREMENTS General Information The Journal is a Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) member and follows COPE guidance. The editor(s) and publisher of the Journal of Emergency Nursing believe that fundamental principles are underlying scholarly or professional publishing. While this may not amount to a formal "code of conduct," these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the paper should: A) be the authors' own original manuscript, which has not been previously published elsewhere B) reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner C) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers D) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration (ensuring it is not under redundant simultaneous peer review) E) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research. For a full description of the standards of expected ethical behavior by all parties involved in the publishing process (the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society for society-owned or sponsored journals) please see www.elsevier.com. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and funding, including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and funding sources. While it may not be possible to draft a "code" that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the Journal of Emergency Nursing will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. Relevant conflicts of interest should be disclosed (see www.elsevier.com). The Journal of Emergency Nursing (JEN) welcomes unsolicited manuscripts. Manuscripts that are published as print manuscripts in JEN will also be published online in the correlating online issue of JEN. Manuscripts that JEN designates as online-only will not be published in hardcopy, although they will be listed in the hardcopy table of contents. All JEN manuscripts, print or online, are recognized as published manuscripts. When an author is notified via e-mail of the JEN issue to which his/her accepted manuscript is assigned, they will also be notified whether their manuscript will be published as online-only, hybrid online and print, or in hardcopy. All submitted manuscripts must be original material that has not been published in another scholarly, indexed journal and is not under consideration by another journal at the time of submission to JEN. Required Permission for Copyrighted Materials The author is responsible for obtaining and submitting proof of copyright permission for any material from previously published sources, including excerpted text, illustrations, charts, tables, photographs, etc. Proof of permission must be submitted along with the first revision in the form of a letter or document expressly granting permission for re-use of the material from the holder of the copyright. To determine whether a manuscript includes material(s) requiring copyright permission, authors are instructed to review the Elsevier Permissions Guidelines at the following link: https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/copyright/permissions. The information at this site will provide details to assist the author in determining whether permission is required in her/his particular case, as well as simple instructions to follow in order to obtain permission should that be necessary. Preprints Please note that preprints can be shared anywhere at any time, in line with Elsevier's sharing policy. Sharing your preprints e.g. on a preprint server will not count as prior publication (see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information). The Journal of Emergency Nursing welcomes pre-prints as manuscript submissions. Authors must notify the editor in the cover letter that the paper appears as a pre-print and provide a copy of the pre-print and/or URL link to the pre-print. If accepted for publication, authors are expected to update the pre-print with a link to their formal publication using the DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Pre-prints should not be changed, enhanced, or altered in any way to substitute for the version printed in the Journal of Emergency Nursing. Elsevier Policies Policies can be found at the Elsevier website.
