Witness: The Canadian Journal of Critical Nursing Discourse is a Canadian Peer-Reviewed Scholarly Nursing Journal.
We currently publish twice a year
We are a collective of registered nurses whose practice, research, teaching and way of being is rooted in social justice.
We embrace the open access movement and seek to further dismantle multiple systemic barriers to knowledge dissemination.
We invite critical nursing discourse rooted in Social Justice, Advocacy, Power, Justice, Intersectionality, and Critical Social Theory.
We welcome & embrace plurality in criticality.
The Editorial Collective welcomes submissions that are language-based and/or arts-informed.
And we welcome undergraduate nursing students to consider submitting works they are engaged in concerning social justice and advocacy and to do so working with a faculty member who will serve as co-author.
While we LOVE special issues, every so often we issue an OPEN Call for Papers that reflects the ethos and intent of the journal - For 2024 we open with our periodic Open Call named: " Critical Nursing for Health Equity."

Witness readers, editors, reviewers, supporters and contributors form a collective of critical nurses in Canada and beyond who strive to ameliorate inequities in the health and quality of life of all. By virtue of nursing’s privileged societal position, we witness a wide array of inequities that require us to take action. Our tag line represents the ethos of the journal: “See* it .... Speak it .... Write it .... Change it ....”
Periodically we issue an OPEN Call for Papers that reflects the ethos and intent of the journal - For 2023 we open with an Open Call we are naming " Critical Nursing for Health Equity."
