Is very expensive to publish! In Brasil, not always the our institutions or universitys help us pay fees for submissions, publications. And paying fees in dollars or euro is impossível for us!
Hi Eduardo - you are spoilt for choice really in nursing with established and reputable journals that do not charge (unless you opt for the voluntary open access charges). Some of these journals have the advantage of being very broad in their scope. For instance, Journal of Advanced Nursing, Journal of Clinical Nursing, International Journal of Nursing Studies etc. If say your study focused on less clinical disciplines, such as nursing education, then journals such as Nurse Education Today would fit the bill well - and there are many research-specific journals that do the same - such as Nurse researcher. The main thing to consider when considering submitting manuscripts to any established (non-fee paying) journal is that the competition and quality is often higher than elsewhere so, to ensure a relative degree of success, your manuscript would have to be well written and crafted (in English), within the scope of the journal, written according to house-style instructions, good quality and rigorous study methodology - and a degree of creativity and originality in the findings.
