Submission Preparation Checklist

Duta Medika Nursing Journal requires a completed PRISMA checklist and flowchart as a submission requirement when reporting findings from a systematic review or meta-analysis. Templates for these can be found here or on the PRISMA website, which also describes several extensions of the PRISMA checklist for various designs and data types beyond conventional systematic reviews evaluating interventions. At a minimum, the article should report the content addressed by each item in the checklist. Meeting these basic reporting requirements will significantly enhance the value of your review and may increase its chances of being published.
