ivEDITOR-IN-CHIEF’S NOTESustaining the Culture of Publications in an Economic and Pandemic CrisesThe COVID-19 pandemic which heightened in 2020 has affected so many spheres of lifeincluding the economy, healthcare delivery, education, conferences, and transportation thus,research and publication of scholarly articles are also not spared. It is to be noted that manyscholarly journals have been affected by the two global crises to the extent that some journalscould not publish a single edition since the emergence of the pandemic. For some of the journals,there is a paucity of manuscripts for consideration as published articles. This is partly a result ofthe inability of academics and other researchers to conduct quality research and the lack of fundsto sponsor publications.Despite these crises, the Bayero Journal of Nursing and Health Care has been able to sustain itscycle of publication with issues in 2021. Thanks to the numerous researchers across Nigeria thatensured that manuscripts are sent for review and publication and the editorial board for ensuringthat the journal publications are not affected by the dual crises.This edition is another collection of quality and contemporary research works in nursing andhealth care that span through community health, medical-surgical nursing, maternal and childhealth, nursing education, and nursing informatics among others. It promises to as usual beeducative and inspirational and a literature source for future research. As you go through theedition, consider the recommendations of the researchers and take up the challenge of conductingresearch in the suggested areas so that the journal will provide a platform for sustainedpublication of continuing research and a source of materials for policy formulation. I, therefore,recommend this edition of our growing journal to researchers, clinicians, educators, andadministrators in nursing and health care.Dr. Saleh. N.
