1. Aims and scope

The Rostrum of Asclepius (To Vima tou Asklipiou -VA) is an open access journal that operates through a system of peer reviewers and accepts articles on all aspects of the nursing science as well from other health sciences. The aim of the journal is to publish articles that contribute to the promotion of science and that have a positive impact on health, locally, nationally or globally. Therefore, the following qualities are essential in any article published by the journal: scientific credibility and rigour, as well as coherence and clarity in writing. Submissions do not have to be exclusively innovative, as confirmatory or repetitive studies can be accepted, provided the articles present new findings, which could include reporting even negative findings.

 

2. Open access and copyright

All articles from VA are published with full access: they are available for free to read, download and share when publishing.

3. Direct submissions and free evaluation and publication policy

The entire process is available for free.

 

4. Peer review policy

The VA journal maintains the highest standards of evaluation by peers while increasing the efficiency of the process. All articles published in the journal will be subject to double-blind peer review. The main features of the journal review process are:

  • All articles are initially reviewed by the Section Editors for their suitability for publication in the journal, based on the Aims and scope.
  • The articles are then assigned to two reviewers of the Editorial Team. Where appropriate, a statistician will check documents with statistical content.
  • When the reviews are returned, the Section Editor assigned to the article rereads the document and identifies any further modifications required.
  • Prior to acceptance, the Editor-in-Chief further evaluates the document and makes the final decision.
  • The members of the Editorial Board provide general information, advice and guidance to the Author and Co-Authors and can assist in decision making, regarding specific submissions.
