As pressure to publish increases in the academic nursing world, journal submission numbers and rejection rates are soaring. The review process is crucial to journals in publishing high quality, cutting-edge knowledge development, and to authors in preparing their papers to a high quality to enable the nursing world to benefit from developments in knowledge that affect nursing practice and patient outcomes and the development of the discipline. This paper does not intend to contribute to the debate regarding the ethics of reviewing, but rather seeks to explore notions of how the quality of the reviewing process can be enhanced to benefit authors, the reviewers, and the state of nursing knowledge. Furthermore, a call is made to editors to devise strategies for aiding reviewers to attain higher validity and reliability within the reviewing process by establishing clear standards and expectations and to ensure published work is judged against industry norms for quality.
随着学术护理界发表论文的压力不断增加,期刊投稿数量和拒稿率飙升。评审过程对于期刊发表高质量、前沿的知识发展至关重要,对于作者将论文准备到高质量水平以使护理界受益于影响护理实践、患者结局和学科发展的知识进步也至关重要。本文无意参与关于评审伦理的辩论,而是旨在探讨如何提高评审过程的质量,以使作者、评审人员和护理知识状况都能受益。此外,呼吁编辑制定策略,通过确立明确的标准和期望,帮助评审人员在评审过程中获得更高的效度和信度,并确保发表的作品根据行业质量规范进行评判。
