It has been 2 years since the Editorial Advisory Board of JOGNN adopted procedures to better differentiate reports of research, quality improvement, and program evaluation projects. These criteria were published in an editorial (Cook & Lowe, 2012) and are available to interested authors on JOGNNs website. The implementation of this decision has had positive results: informing readers of reports detailing innovative programs, describing current trends, and sharing implementation lessons learned in the Principles & Practice section of JOGNN. However, we also have noticed some lack of clarity in manuscripts that appears to be rooted in the faculty mentorship of students conducting practice-related capstone projects for the doctorate in nursing practice (DNP).
