Science of Nursing and Health Practices / Science infirmière et pratiques en santé is a peer-reviewed, international, bilingual (English/French), Diamond open access journal. Published by the Quebec Network on Nursing Intervention Research (Réseau de recherche en interventions en sciences infirmières du Québec or RRISIQ), the journal strives to democratize access to science by promoting access to research results to increase their use and thus improve the quality of care and the health of populations.

The journal’s mandate is to publish research that contributes to the advancement of knowledge related to health experiences. The journal understands health to be “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (World Health Organization). This understanding is consistent with the core values of the Nursing discipline. The journal is interested in scholarly works of high scientific quality that study factors contributing to health as a holistic phenomenon. This includes social and environmental factors, as well as the development, adaptation, implementation, and evaluation of best practices. The journal also encourages epistemological and methodological diversity in all submitted research with the objective of advancing the development of knowledge that is both inclusive in its themes and encompassing in its scope.
