Journal History

Nurse Media Journal of Nursing (NMJN) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the field of nursing science and practice. It is published by the Department of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Diponegoro (Undip), Indonesia.

The journal's origins trace back to Jurnal Keperawatan Media Ners (ISSN: 1907-9842), the first academic nursing journal established by the nursing department in Undip in 2007. Initially published twice a year (May and November) in print and in the Indonesian language, the journal served as a scholarly platform for local nursing research.

In response to the evolving landscape of nursing education, research, and institutional policy, the journal was restructured and relaunched in 2011 under a new name and format: Nurse Media Journal of Nursing (NMJN). This transformation included a shift to English-language publication and the acquisition of new ISSN numbers for both print (p-ISSN: 2087-7811) and electronic (e-ISSN: 2406-8799) versions. The first issue of NMJN was released in June 2011.

The name Nurse Media Journal of Nursing is an English translation of the original title and was retained to honor the journal’s legacy and historical significance within the school.

Since 2020, NMJN has published three issues per year: in April, August, and December.
