title: You're a published author!
abstract: Once a nurse author writes a quality manuscript, the article is submitted to an appropriate journal, reviewed by the editor, and sent to review panel members with expertise consistent with the topic of the article or the methodology of research articles. After review, panel members recommend the article be published, accepted for publication after revision, revised without promise of publication, or rejected. Nurse authors have options as to how they handle the recommendation. To successfully publish in a peer-reviewed journal, nurse authors should communicate with the editor and realize that the editor and author have the same goals.
