"The larger the island of knowledge the longer the shoreline of wonder". Stockman. Picture by John Durrant

Published since 1994 the Journal has gone from strength to strength relying on its independent non-profit profile to promote research accross the world. The IJPNR has been able to create, produce and make available a quality journal exporting research data to well over 30 countries around the world.

The name Drogoresearch.com is adapted from Saint Drogo (1105 - 1189) a Saint who was venerated for his compassion, humility and kindness to people suffering from a mental illness. One of the main aims of the Journal is to help encourage a better understanding of severe and enduring mental illness and advance good clinical standards of care by a validated reference process that disseminates and publicizes high quality psychiatric nursing research papers across the world.

The IJPNR Journal established in 1994 is one of the leading lights in publishing top quality psychiatric nursing research manuscripts and has successfully contributed to distributing in text and cyberspace forms over One Hundred high quality research papers to well over 30 different countries.

Important News about the Journal for 2008

With the ever increasing cost of printing and postage it is uneconomical to continue to produce hard copies of the journal without a prohibitive increase in subscriptions. In order to keep costs to a minimum it has been decided that as from January 2008 the journal will only be published electronically. This will be an advantage to the great majority of our readership who already view the journal online in that our publication will become continuous. Alternatively, the journal can be sent to readers on disc.

We try very hard to keep the costs of the journal as low as possible, even so there will have to be an increase in price. Sadly therefore the subscription rates, per year, from January 2008 will be:

Individual £40
Institutional £80

Compared with other journals this is still good value for money.
