First some good news: Nursing Open is now listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) which means that people considering submitting to Nursing Open can be confident that we are a bona fide open access journal and that we meet the standards required to be listed there, one of which is that we have had to be publishing for over one year. In fact, we are now well into our second year and I am very happy to bring you our third issue which brings us to a total of nearly 30 papers published since we were launched in 2014. It is also busy at the editorial desk and each week brings a flow of new submissions and I send a steady flow of manuscripts to production. Few things are more satisfying than correcting proofs for Nursing Open and our Twitter following @nursingopen is increasing as are entries and hits on the Nursing Open blog.
