01 Oct Query Letter
NSG8110 Capstone in Applied Practice
Week 8 Project
Query Letter
This week, as you review the data you have collected and analyzed, you will identify a journal which would potentially be interested in your findings. The assignment this week is to create a query letter. Your goal is to write to the editor to explain your project outcomes and determine if he or she would be interested in reviewing the completed manuscript. You will create that manuscript in the next course.
As you review potential journals, you will notice that not all journals request this type of letter. For the purpose of this assignment, you must write a formal letter with a full explanation about the project and outcomes.
As a reminder, these are the items that should be addressed as you write your letter:
Keep it brief, one page if possible.
Use a formal tone and address your letter to the editor by name.
Mention why you selected this journal and how the content would be of interest to their readers.
Describe your project and outcomes, and explain the importance of your findings to DNP practice and nursing.
Ensure careful use of grammar and clear communication of ideas.
