The aim of this study was to examine the publication characteristics and development of Journal of Advanced Nursing during its 40-year history.
Bibliometric studies of single journals have been performed, but to the best of our knowledge, bibliometric analysis and bibliometric mapping have not yet been used to analyse the literature production of the Journal of Advanced Nursing.
DESIGN/METHOD: Using descriptive bibliometrics, we studied the dynamics and trend patterns of literature production and identified document types and the most prolific authors, papers, institutions and countries. Bibliometric mapping was used to visualize the content of published articles and determine the most prolific research terms and themes published in Journal of Advanced Nursing and their evolution through time. We were also interested in determining whether there were any 'Sleeping Beauties' among the articles published in the journal.
The study revealed a positive trend in literature production, although recently, the number of articles published in Journal of Advanced Nursing has slightly decreased. The most productive institutions are from the United Kingdom, which ranks in the highest place in terms of successful publishing in the journal. Thematic analysis showed that the most prolific themes corresponded to the basic aims and scope of the journal.
Journal of Advanced Nursing contributes to advances in nursing research, practice and education as well as the quality of health care, teamwork and family care, with an emphasis on knowledge transfer and partnership between various healthcare professionals.
本研究旨在考察《高级护理杂志》 40 年历史中的出版特点和发展情况。
虽然对单刊的文献计量研究已经开展，但据我们所知，尚未使用文献计量分析和文献计量制图来分析《高级护理杂志》的文献产出。
设计/方法：使用描述性文献计量学，我们研究了文献产出的动态和趋势模式，确定了文献类型和最有影响力的作者、论文、机构和国家。文献计量制图用于可视化发表文章的内容，并确定发表在《高级护理杂志》上的最有影响力的研究术语和主题及其随时间的演变。我们还对该杂志发表的文章中是否存在“沉睡的美人”感兴趣。
该研究揭示了文献产出的积极趋势，尽管最近《高级护理杂志》发表的文章数量略有下降。最有影响力的机构来自英国，就成功在该杂志上发表论文而言，英国排名最高。主题分析表明，最有影响力的主题与该杂志的基本目标和范围相对应。
《高级护理杂志》促进了护理研究、实践和教育的进步，以及医疗保健质量、团队合作和家庭护理的进步，重点是知识转移和各种医疗保健专业人员之间的伙伴关系。
