EDITORIAL

Greetings from the RGUHS Journal of Nursing Sciences. It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the release of RJNS Volume 15, Issue 1, on behalf of the RGUHS publication group. We the editorial team sincerely appreciate all the nursing authors who have contributed to this edition. The act of writing for nursing journals is essential for the advancement of the nursing profession, as it promotes the scientific foundation of nursing, disseminates innovative practices to a broader audience, provides citable evidence, and ensures that frontline nurses remain well-informed. Academic journals tend to favor the publication of high quality evidence syntheses that demonstrate rigorous systematic processing, thorough interpretation of evidence, or the development of new theories, thereby making a substantial contribution to knowledge and understanding. It is important to note that evidence syntheses are frequently rejected due to inadequate planning, design, execution, and reporting. Typically, syntheses that involve systematic processing of evidence necessitate collaboration among multiple authors to achieve completion.
