In contemporary nursing academia, it is unthinkable that topics such as research methods, evidence-based practice, and the translation of research into practice would be omitted from nursing curricula at any level. What is surprising, however, is that despite a broad educational emphasis on "teaching research", the rising importance of bibliometrics appears to have been largely neglected. If nursing scholarship and nursing scholars are to prosper in the highly competitive field of modern health research, a sophisticated understanding of citation-based methods is clearly required. Armed with this knowledge, one can more successfully argue why scarce research funding, that might otherwise be channeled elsewhere, ought to be assigned to nursing researchers. We hereby urge readers to reflect on the extent to which bibliometrics is covered within formal nursing curricula at their college or university. It is no longer a case of if a graduate nurse will need this skill set for their future professional development, but when.
在当代护理学术界，任何层次的护理课程都不可能忽略研究方法、循证实践以及将研究转化为实践等主题。然而，令人惊讶的是，尽管教育广泛强调“教授研究”，但文献计量学的重要性似乎在很大程度上被忽视了。如果护理学术和护理学者要在现代健康研究这个竞争激烈的领域中繁荣发展，显然需要对基于引文的方法有深入的理解。有了这些知识，人们就可以更成功地论证为什么稀缺的研究资金，否则可能会被转移到其他地方，应该分配给护理研究人员。我们在此敦促读者思考在他们所在的学院或大学的正规护理课程中涵盖了多少文献计量学内容。现在已经不是考虑未来的专业发展是否需要这种技能组合的问题了，而是何时需要的问题。
