It is the writing shell for Canadian Journal of Nursing Research: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list.
A Canadian Journal of Nursing Research submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, a structured abstract of up to 250 words, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables.
Open the journal's current author guide before you upload.
