INACSL and Elsevier partner to publish Clinical Simulation ...(y dynamic forum for information exchange...),Health

Date:6/16/2008

y dynamic forum for information exchange about a wide range of topics in the field, from the use of simulation dummies to virtual reality, computer gaming in nursing, and who knows what the next big thing will be as we move forward," stated Suzie Kardong-Edgren, PhD, RN, WSU Intercollegiate College of Nursing and Interim Editor-in-Chief of the journal.

The new partnership with Elsevier has resulted in a number of important enhancements to Clinical Simulation in Nursing. The publication schedule has increased to six issues per year. The publishing process has been streamlined using Elsevier's article submission system (http://ees.elsevier.com/nursingsimulation) and circulation of electronic proofs for review. Articles, both in HTML and PDF formats, are now enhanced with hyperlinked URLs and references. The electronic format enables content like videos to be included.

Elsevier anticipates that Clinical Simulation in Nursing will be included in major medical and nursing abstracting and indexing services in the near future, including Mosby's Nursing Index. Further, access to the journal will be opened up to non-members of the Association and libraries and online availability of the journal will be extended via placement on Elsevier's full-text platforms, ScienceDirect and Journals Consult. These factors, combined with the journal's rapid publication schedule, mean that contributing authors can be confident that their work will be disseminated rapidly to the widest possible audience.

In fall 2008, Elsevier will launch the Simulation Learning System (SLS) that provides step-by-step instruction for integrating simulation technology in your nursing curriculum. The SLS includes 30 scenarios that correspond to an Elsevier textbook and can be integrated into any simulator.
