Abstract

As you know the Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care is a peer-reviewed journal. That means that a professional panel must review all manuscripts. This is a completely volunteer professional service. Without this effort the journal would not be the quality journal that it is. Because this work is voluntary, I am hesitant to send more than four manuscripts to any one reviewer in a year’s time. Therefore, we need a large number of reviewers to complete the work. If you would be interested in this professional service activity for the Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care, please send me a note by email telling me of your area of interest and attaching your curriculum vitae. My email address is jdunkin@bama.ua.edu. Please put “Manuscript Reviewer” in the subject box so that I might efficiently respond. Thank you for assisting us in continuing to make the Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care the fine e-journal that it is.
It seems that every state in the United States and areas of Canada are currently facing budgetary deficits and economic hard times. That is true in Alabama as well and as a result the amount of time and effort that the Webmaster and information management staff can contribute is in serious jeopardy. It is clear that we will have to begin compensating them for their work. This is very difficult, as the journal has no revenue-generating capacity of its own, and RNO needs additional funds to provide this level of financial support to the journal.
