Back to Who's Who Index

Martin Johnson, RN, MSc, PhD
Nurse Education Today

Editor, Nurse Education Today. Start, January 2003

Prior Editor’s Position: Review Editor, Nurse Education Today, 1994-2000
Associate Editor, Nurse Education Today, 2000-2003

Years as Editor: Since 2001

Years in INANE: Since 2006

Other Position: Professor and Director, University of Salford Centre for Nursing, Midwifery, and Collaborative Research, Manchester, UK

Accomplishment: Co-chairing NETNEP 2006, the first Elsevier International Nursing Education Conference, Vancouver, B.C.

Best: Being able to develop the standard of nursing education research.

Worst: Too much work for the time available

Amusing: An author from the USA asked why she had not heard about her paper, which she had submitted the week before!! I pointed out that editing is a cottage industry for many journals. The office is not like the New York Times; it’s my kitchen table.

3 words: Critical (appropriately, I hope), loyal, dry

Strangest request: To print a polemic letter about the suffering of Palestinians on the West Bank. The words "nurse" nor "education" were nowhere mentioned.

If not editor?: Write more books.

Relax?: Films and gripping, quality HBO television. Classical music. I ride a mountain bike (good countryside in Northern England). I like to holiday in Western USA or Europe.
