Journal History

The Journal of Nursing Research, Innovation, and Health is an academic journal dedicated to disseminating knowledge in nursing, health sciences, and health innovation based on evidence-based practice and sustainable health system development in both national and international contexts. The journal was formerly titled the Journal of Faculty of Nursing, Chulalongkorn University and officially adopted its current title starting from Volume 36, Issue 1 (January–April 2024) to reflect a renewed vision of being an open, modern academic platform that bridges knowledge to practice and health policy.

The journal was first published in December 1989 in celebration of the first anniversary of the establishment of the Faculty of Nursing, Chulalongkorn University (28 December 1989). Its original mission was to disseminate nursing knowledge and advancements to faculty members, professional nurses, and the general public, and it has continually evolved into an academic journal that supports the creation of new knowledge, interdisciplinary integration, and health innovation.

Over more than three decades, the journal has continuously refined its format and publication processes in accordance with international academic publishing standards. Currently, the journal is published biannually, with Issue 1 covering January–June and Issue 2 covering July–December, through an electronic journal system to enhance national and international accessibility and to strengthen its role as a platform for knowledge exchange in nursing, innovation, and health at both national and global levels.
