Global Database Presence

The Journal of Clinical and Practical Nursing maintains active indexing relationships with leading bibliographic databases, academic search engines, and scholarly discovery platforms that nursing researchers, clinicians, and educators use daily to access current evidence. This comprehensive indexing ensures your published work reaches the widest possible audience, from hospital-based practitioners seeking clinical evidence to academic researchers conducting systematic literature reviews.

Our editorial team continuously works to expand our indexing coverage, applying to additional databases as the journal meets their criteria and establishes its reputation in the nursing science community. Each new indexing partnership increases the potential readership and citation impact of your published research, contributing to the growing influence of JCPN as a respected venue for disseminating nursing scholarship worldwide.

Strong indexing is essential for academic publishing because it determines how easily nurses, healthcare researchers, and educators can find your work when searching for evidence to inform clinical practice, curriculum development, or their own research projects. Without proper indexing, even excellent research may remain invisible to the colleagues who would benefit most from your findings.
