Scholarly output is the standard by which academics are judged; in particular journal articles. This study aimed to examine the scholarly output of nursing academics over a two-year period, and to establish benchmark data for future longitudinal comparisons. Journal articles were used as the unit of analysis. The following characteristics of articles were examined: whether articles were refereed or non-refereed; the type of journal; content characteristics; scholarly focus; predominant methodology of research articles; and predominant focus of specialty areas. The characteristics of principal authors and their effect on articles were also examined. The study demonstrated that while there had been no substantial increase in scholarly output, there was a clear link between higher academic rank and type of scholarly output. An increasing predominance of research articles was demonstrated, with a striking trend towards increased use of qualitative methodology, and in the number of publications by groups of authors.
学术成果是评判学者的标准;尤其是期刊文章。本研究旨在考察护理领域学者在两年时间内的学术成果,并建立基准数据以供未来进行纵向比较。期刊文章被用作分析单位。考察了文章的以下特征:文章是否经过同行评审;期刊类型;内容特征;学术重点;研究文章的主要研究方法;以及专业领域的主要重点。还考察了第一作者的特征及其对文章的影响。研究表明,虽然学术成果没有大幅增加,但较高的学术职级与学术成果类型之间存在明显联系。研究文章的主导地位日益凸显,定性研究方法的使用、作者群体发表的文章数量均呈现出显著的增长趋势。
