Pediatric nurses work in an interdisciplinary field and face ever-increasing demands on their time and knowledge. Selection tools for librarians serving this group are available, but only one bibliometric analysis has examined citations to aid collection development.
The "Mapping the Literature of Nursing Project" protocol was used. Three source journals were selected, and a citation analysis of articles from 1998 to 2000 was conducted.
The frequency of journal citation was tabulated, and a list of the most frequently cited journals was created. Just over 1% of the cited journals produced 33% of the citations. PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Citation Index, and Social Sciences Citation Index provided the most complete indexing coverage of all types of the journals, while CINAHL providing the most complete coverage of nursing journals. Books were the second-most frequently cited format.
Citation analysis of journal articles from pediatric nursing journals may be helpful in selecting journals for libraries serving pediatric nurses and those who conduct pediatric nursing research. Librarians should consider adding indexes to their collection in addition to PubMed/MEDLINE to access the broad range of journals useful to this specialty.
儿科护士工作在一个跨学科领域，面临着对其时间和知识日益增长的需求。有供服务于这一群体的图书馆员使用的遴选工具，但仅有一项文献计量分析研究了引文以辅助馆藏发展。
采用“绘制护理文献地图项目”方案。选择了三种来源期刊，并对1998年至2000年的文章进行了引文分析。
将期刊被引频次制成表格，并列出了被引频次最高的期刊清单。略超过1%的被引期刊产生了33%的引文。《医学期刊数据库》（PubMed/MEDLINE）、《科学引文索引》和《社会科学引文索引》对各类期刊的索引覆盖最为全面，而《护理学与健康领域数据库》（CINAHL）对护理期刊的覆盖最为全面。书籍是第二常被引用的文献类型。
对儿科护理期刊的期刊文章进行引文分析，可能有助于为服务于儿科护士的图书馆以及开展儿科护理研究的人员选择期刊。除了《医学期刊数据库》（PubMed/MEDLINE）之外，图书馆员应考虑在其馆藏中增加索引，以便获取对该专业有用的广泛期刊。
