Abstract

OBJECTIVES

As part of a project to map the literature of nursing, sponsored by the Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section of the Medical Library Association, this study identifies core journals cited by general or "popular" US nursing journals and the indexing services that cover the cited journals.

METHODS

Three journals were selected for analysis: American Journal of Nursing, Nursing 96-98, and RN. The source journals were subjected to a citation analysis of articles from 1996 to 1998, followed by an analysis of database access to the most frequently cited journal titles.

RESULTS

Cited formats included journals (63.7%), books (26.6%), government documents (3.0%), Internet (0.5%), and miscellaneous (6.2%). Cited references were relatively current; most (86.6%) were published in the current decade. One-third of the citations were found in a core of 24 journal titles; one-third were dispersed among a middle zone of 94 titles; and the remaining third were scattered in a larger zone of 694 titles. Indexing coverage for the core titles was most comprehensive in PubMed/MEDLINE, followed by CINAHL and Science Citation Index.

CONCLUSIONS

Results support the popular (not scholarly) nature of these titles. While not a good source for original research, they fulfill a key role of disseminating nursing knowledge with their relevantly current citations to a broad variety of sources.

摘要

目标

作为由医学图书馆协会护理与联合健康资源部赞助的护理文献图谱绘制项目的一部分，本研究确定了美国普通或“大众”护理期刊所引用的核心期刊以及涵盖这些被引用期刊的索引服务。

方法

选择了三种期刊进行分析：《美国护理杂志》《护理96 - 98》和《注册护士》。对来源期刊1996年至1998年发表的文章进行了引文分析，随后分析了对引用频率最高的期刊标题的数据库访问情况。

结果

被引用的文献类型包括期刊（63.7%）、书籍（26.6%）、政府文件（3.0%）、互联网（0.5%）和其他（6.2%）。被引用的参考文献相对较新；大多数（86.6%）是在当前十年发表的。三分之一的引文出现在24种核心期刊标题中；三分之一分布在94种期刊的中间区域；其余三分之一分散在694种期刊的较大区域。核心期刊标题在PubMed / MEDLINE中的索引覆盖最为全面，其次是CINAHL和科学引文索引。
