Current Issue
Revista Enfermería Actual en Costa Rica (REVENF) is one of the official journals of the University of Costa Rica (UCR), and is endorsed by the Office of the Vice-president for Research. REVENF is linked to the School of Nursing (EE, for its acronym in Spanish), where it is edited and published, and to the Center for Research in Nursing and Health Care (CICES, for its acronym in Spanish) through mutual collaboration strategies.
REVENF aims to publish scientific production in the field of healthcare, particularly in Nursing, both nationally and internationally, allowing researchers to share their findings, and readers to gauge the broad work of the discipline, as well as its impact and relation to other disciplines.
Founded in 2000, REVENF is pioneer in the dissemination of scientific knowledge in electronic format in the field of Nursing at a national level. Since then, it has produced uninterrupted publications every six months, where the first issue is published from January 1 to June 30 and the second issue from July 1 to December 31. In addition, there is a permanent call for articles, so people interested in publishing can send their manuscript at any time of the year.
REVENF publishes original and unpublished articles that disclose the results of primary research, reviews and reflections. Authors interested in publishing in REVENF should review the submission guidelines, prior to submitting.
REVENF do not publish notes, review protocols, narrative reviews and articles derived from clinical practice such as case reports.
