Through peer review a journal tries to guarantee the quality of published articles. This paper intends to analyze the difficult assessment task in the Spanish nursing area. We also present some suggestions on how to develop this task, based on data gathered from Spanish nursing journals, and thus contribute to enhance nursing publications. We also give the results of a questionnaire made by personal contact with relevant Spanish journals, along with specific recommendations for nursing professionals.

Keywords : nursing; peer review; Spanish nursing journals; publication quality.
