Manuscripts submitted to Online Brazilian Journal of Nursing (OBJN) must be exclusively intended for the journal. Manuscripts published in other journals or that have been submitted and are under evaluation in another journal simultaneously with submission to OBJN are not accepted, except in cases of publications on preprint servers, as well as texts, data, codes, and other materials deposited in scientifically recognized repositories.

Authors are responsible for translating the accepted manuscript into the two additional required languages beyond the language of submission, enabling publication in the three languages adopted by the journal.

To control the quality of submitted manuscripts, OBJN adopts successive and eliminatory evaluation checklists at three levels: (a) pre-analysis (metadata, relevance assessment, and normalization); (b) method checklist (Equator network guides); and (c) peer review (double-blind peer review).

In articles published in OBJN, the names of the editors responsible for the manuscript evaluation and production process are identified.

Upon submission, authors must report any conflict of interest related to the evaluation of their manuscript.

The ideas expressed in the manuscripts published in OBJN are the sole responsibility of the authors and co-authors, not representing the opinion of the editorial team.

For information on the journal’s scope, mission, values, submission languages, indexing, licensing, copyright, peer review policy, plagiarism policy, use of artificial intelligence, open science, and other journal policies, please see the About the Journal section.
