The published studies in research journals have certain levels of research quality. This article presents manuscript preparation for publication and assessing research quality of the manuscripts. The authors provide examples of research quality assessment tools for frequently conducted research studies in nursing and public health. The assessment tools include PRISMA for Meta-Analysis studies, STROBE for observational or cross-sectional studies, and Joanna Briggs Institute’s Checklist for Qualitative Research and Checklist for Quasi-Experimental Studies (non-randomized experimental studies). Interested readers can apply the manuscript preparation strategies and assessment tools in their manuscript preparation and in research quality assessment in order to apply the research results, based on the research quality, and improve the quality of their research studies.
