History

The American Journal of Nursing was established in 1900 as its official journal by the Associated Alumnae of Trained Nurses of the United States which later became the American Nurses Association (ANA).[2] Isabel Hampton Robb, Lavinia Dock, Mary E.P. Davis and Sophia Palmer are credited with founding the journal,[3] the latter serving as the first editor.[4] Other editors have included Mary Roberts (1921–1949), Thelma M. Schorr (1971–1981), and Diana J. Mason.[5][6] The journal was originally published by J. B. Lippincott & Co..[7] In 1996 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins purchased the journal from the ANA of which it ceased to be the official journal, to the disappointment of then editor Mason.[6]
