Contributing to women’s health nursing by disseminating research

The year 2024 marks a year of significant developments for the journal.First of all, the title was changed to Women's Health Nursing (WHN) from Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing.This change was instituted to commemorate the journal's indexing in MEDLINE in 2023 [1], an honor that is bestowed to roughly only one-tenth of journals that apply to MEDLINE [2].The new title also reflects our commitment to reaching a global audience, extending the journal's scholarly contributions beyond Korea and Asia to authors worldwide.Additionally, this year, Clarivate made the policy decision to assign an impact factor (IF) to all journals in the Web of Science Core Collection, starting with the 2023 Journal Citation Reports [3].As an Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) journal, we obtained a 2023 IF of 1.0, matching the IF of the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing, a well-regarded Korean SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded) journal.Finally, this year is also notable as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Korean Society of Women Health Nursing, for which WHN is the official journal.In Korea, a 30-year period is referred to as "yi-rib" (, ), meaning "a time of establishing all foundations" according to Confucian traditions.Our academic society has indeed made significant progress and laid a solid foundation for women's health nursing in Korea.As the journal published its first article in 1995, we are nearing our own 30-year milestone.Considering the developments of this year and looking forward to 2025, WHN is more committed than ever to disseminating women's health research for nurses in academia and practice.We recognize the serious responsibility this entails and approach it with great eagerness.We will continue to critically assess and disseminate quality articles that contribute to women's health nursing, such as the paper in this issue which calls for a critical awareness of gender and its integration into nursing research [4].As 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the journal, we plan to publish a special issue titled "Digital Health Interventions (DHI) for Women's Health" in June 2025.This issue will serve as a timely follow-up to our 2023 special issue on "Digital Era Education for Women's Health and Wellbeing" (https://www.kjwhn.org/upload/pdf/kjwhn_v29n3_full.pdf), which explored AIbased healthcare education opportunities and challenges [5].Given the rapid increase in DHI and their recognized value for improving primary healthcare [6] and preventing deaths [7], exploring how DHI can promote women's health will be invaluable.The 2025 special issue on DHI will cover topics such as digital devices (wearable or other tracking modalities), remote digital monitoring, artificial intelligence, and mobile apps, all applied as interventions for women's health and wellbeing.We welcome submissions including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, methodology papers, concept papers, and experimental research to clarify the state-of-the-science, as well as qualitative and
