A list of the journals that are reviewed and the criteria for selecting articles from these journals for inclusion in Evidence-Based Nursing are included in each issue. The following articles passed all criteria but were not abstracted because, in the judgment of
the editors, their findings were less widely applicable to nursing practice. We will publish this list on an annual basis
in the last issue of each year.
