Hello! I'm trying to find some pros and cons of starting a peer-reviewed graduate student journal for nursing like this one from the University of Pennsylvania.
Do you have any other examples for nursing or health sciences? I was able to find a few medical student journals, but none for nursing specifically.
Do you have any experience with this, or any resources on the benefits/drawbacks of peer-reviewed graduate student journals in nursing/health sciences specifically?
I came up with this short list from an article in an international relations journal, but I would like to find something that deals more with nursing and health sciences if it's out there. Thank you!
