The Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) is an official publication of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) and is directed to the nurse caring for patients with or at risk for cancer. CJON is a vehicle to advance the mission of ONS, which is to promote excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care. The CJON mission is twofold: (a) to provide practical information necessary to care for patients and their families across the cancer continuum and (b) to develop publication skills in oncology nurses.
A variety of opportunities are available for those interested in actively contributing to the journal. From the Review Board and the Mentor/Fellow Program to writing columns and full-length articles, CJON has it all!
In addition to reviewing and publishing unsolicited manuscripts, the CJON Editorial Board will publish an annual call for articles to address current gaps in the literature to fulfill our mission. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: cancer care delivery/cancer programs, comorbid conditions, ethical issues, genomics, geriatrics, interventional radiology, palliative care, health promotion and risk reduction, prevention and early detection, professional issues, oncologic emergencies, radiation therapy, survivorship care, and symptom management.
