title: Striving for improvement.
abstract: Since I joined Nurse Researcher as editor in 2008, the journal has undergone significant changes, some more obvious than others. Most noticeably it has moved to a larger format, bringing the journal in line with RCN Publishing's other specialist titles. The smaller format had been used since Nurse Researcher was first published in 1993, but the new size has brought a fresh approach to page design and has been well received by readers.
