Rev Rene is edited by the Universidade Federal do Ceará, under the responsibility of the Nursing Department and the Graduate Nursing Program. It has its origins in the Rede de Enfermagem do Nordeste (RENE).

The first volume was edited in 2000 and had a semiannual periodicity until 2004. During this time, articles written by authors from the Northeast region prevailed, but with some participation from authors from other regions. In 2005, a quarterly frequency was established, conquering the first indexing in international databases. After, the content was electronically published in the open format. In the years of 2010 and 2011, the journal published four annual issues and one thematic issue. In 2012, it adopted the OJS platform, allowing publishing 5 issues and expanding its presence in other indexes. In 2013, the journal became bimonthly with bilingual versions of the articles. In 2018, the rolling pass publication style was adopted and the journal became member of the Universidade Federal do Ceará's Journal Portal.
