Creating a dissertation or academic project is a demanding and complicated process, presenting a unique set of challenges for authors. Navigating the publishing process presents further challenges. Creating the best article and finding the most appropriate journals often leaves first-time authors frustrated and intimidated.

In A Nurse's Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing a Dissertation or DNP Project, award-winning author Karen Roush guides readers through the process of reworking a dissertation or DNP project into a high-quality manuscript and honing their writing skills. Roush then provides a step-by-step guide through the publication process, providing all the information necessary to fully understand and navigate the world of academic publishing.

"The full breadth and depth of nurses' contributions are still not recognized by the healthcare community and the general public," said Roush. "Publication is a powerful means of strengthening the voice of nursing and influencing how care is delivered."
