To evaluate the extent of an international perspective in publication in nursing journals.
Characteristics of 2,581 articles, authors of articles, and journals (editorial purpose and editorial team) of 42 high-ranking nursing journals for the year 2000 were analyzed.
The characteristics were assessed using seven operational definitions of "international."
Major findings were: (a) 747 (28.9%) articles were identified as international, of which (b) 705 (94.3%) were placed in the scholarly or empirical categories; (c) more articles were categorized as empirical in the international articles; more articles were categorized as scholarly among the noninternational articles; (d) 763 (79.3%) articles met an international definition based on author characteristics; and (e) 20 (47.6%) journals had international editorial teams.
Nearly 30% of articles had international content. Articles with international content were more frequently databased than were noninternational articles. The study provides a baseline indication of the extent of international perspectives in published articles in nursing journals. The extent to which these international articles make substantial contributions to knowledge has yet to be discovered.
评估护理期刊发表文章中的国际视角程度。
分析了2000年42种高排名护理期刊的2581篇文章的特征、文章作者以及期刊(编辑目的和编辑团队)。
使用“国际”的七个操作定义对这些特征进行评估。
主要结果为:(a)747篇(28.9%)文章被认定为具有国际性,其中(b)705篇(94.3%)属于学术或实证类别;(c)国际文章中更多文章被归类为实证性文章;非国际文章中更多文章被归类为学术性文章;(d)763篇(79.3%)文章根据作者特征符合国际定义;(e)20种(47.6%)期刊拥有国际编辑团队。
近30%的文章具有国际内容。具有国际内容的文章比非国际文章更频繁地基于数据库。该研究为护理期刊发表文章中的国际视角程度提供了一个基线指示。这些国际文章对知识做出实质性贡献的程度还有待发现。
