Journal of Perioperative Nursing (JPN) publishes original articles on all aspects of perioperative nursing care, spanning from a patient’s referral for surgery through discharge and complete recovery.

JPN is a not-for-profit, peer-reviewed journal published by the Australian College of Perioperative Nurses (ACORN). It aims to serve as a trusted source of knowledge for perioperative nurses, enabling them to provide patients with safe, effective, evidence-based care.

This journal follows a diamond open-access model, meaning articles are freely available to readers and there are no submission or processing charges for authors. All published articles are distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) .

Important: JPN is currently transitioning to a new publication platform. Please visit this website to submit a new manuscript.
