History

The American Journal of Nursing was established in 1900 by the Associated Alumnae of Trained Nurses of the United States which later became the American Nurses Association (ANA).[7] Isabel Hampton Robb, Lavinia Dock, Mary E.P. Davis and Sophia Palmer are credited with founding the journal.[8] The first editor of the AJN was Palmer.[9] Other editors have included Mary Roberts (1921–1949), Thelma M. Schorr (1971–1981) and Diana J. Mason.[10][11] From 1900 to 2006 the American Journal of Nursing was the official journal of the ANA. It has been called the leading professional nursing journal.[12] The AJN was originally published by J. B. Lippincott & Co..[13] In 1996 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins purchased the journal from the ANA.[11] The split from the ANA occurred when the association chose to work with another publisher and was disappointing to Mason, then editor of the AJN.[11]
