Background: The profession of nursing currently is examining systemic racism within the discipline. Nursing journals, as the gatekeepers of knowledge in the discipline, can reinforce dominant paradigms of racism in nursing science and scholarship.
Method: This article discusses the hegemonic forces operating in nursing science with examples of research topics and approaches lacking equity considerations. Recommendations are provided on embedding the core principles of nursing and social justice into the development, implementation, dissemination, and publication of nursing scholarship.
Results: Recommendations include committing to antiracism and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion by ongoing assessment of bias, honing an equity lens, and using inclusive language. Structural changes for instructions for authors, selection of editorial boards, and peer review are necessary to promote an equity lens in nursing scholarship.
Conclusion: Intentional actions must be taken to align nursing scholarship with the principles of social justice and health equity. .

Purpose: Safety glasses are an important measure to prevent blindness, especially in one- eyed patients. However, patient compliance with eye protection is often limited. Unlike previous studies that described protective eyewear wearing in anophthalmic patients, this study analyzed their usage in functionally one-eyed children, having a significantly reduced visual acuity in one eye, determining common obstacles to their use.

Background: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are used globally to assess health professional learners' clinical skills and applied knowledge. Despite innovations with simulated participants, manikin technology and real patient involvement, there remains a gap between 'real-life' practice and 'OSCE experience'. For example, although mobile phone use is increasingly common in clinical practice; however, it would represent a significant disruption to established assessment practices in OSCEs.

The risk environment framework (REF) is a widely-accepted tool in policy research related to drug use. Its prevalence warrants a critical exploration of its strengths and weaknesses. This critical appraisal is a comprehensive analysis of the REF by definition and through relevant examples of its use within the context of public health evaluations, social science research, and epidemiological strategies in substance use-related policy.

Scholars in medical anthropology note that, despite more than 25 years of anthropological studies on cancer, much of this scholarship remains marginal in mainstream public health approaches. This paper examines social practices, biases, and unnoticed assumptions in mainstream global health research culture that prevents anthropology from having a more influential role in cancer research and policy agendas. It focuses on the day-to-day, ordinary, micro academic practices in which differential power distribution exacerbates inequity within the field, ignoring the role played by approaches with disciplinarian, epistemological and geopolitical peripheries.
