title: [Critical aspects in nursing scientific production -- papers presented to REBEn].
abstract: This is an exploratory descriptive study which aims at detecting critical aspects of the manuscripts submitted to REBEn (Brazilian Journal of Nursing) for publishing. Data was collected through the evaluation instruments used by the Editorial Board of REBEn on the selection of articles for the journal. Thirty-two evaluation reports, which represent 50% of the articles published in one volume of the journal, were analyzed. Results showed that most of the articles accepted for publishing were deficient, needed correction and that the authors needed guidance regarding requirements for publishing, such as peer review. Another problem detected was that the authors of the articles submitted did not seem to know the norms of presentation of the journal.
