In 1969, nursing research in Canada was so young that it didn鈥檛 have its own scholarly journal. Moyra F. Allen, director of the graduate program at 缅北强奸鈥檚 School of Nursing, took issue with this omission鈥攕o she filled the gap with the first in what would become an erratically published, yet trailblazing, series of slim volumes called聽Nursing Papers. Allen retired in 1984 and her pet project fell to new editor Mary Ellen-Jeans, who changed the name to the聽Canadian Journal of Nursing Research and introduced a peer-review process.
