Faculty productivity related to research and scholarship is assessed in schools of nursing throughout the world. The purpose of this study was to examine the publication productivity of nursing faculty at each academic rank and in both tenure and nontenure tracks in selected schools of nursing across the United States.
This was a descriptive study of publications and the h-index of nursing faculty.
Publication and citation data and the h-index for faculty (N = 1,354) in 18 schools of nursing were obtained from the Scopus database.
Overall, the number of publications and citations and the h-index of faculty increased at higher academic ranks. The median number of publications for tenure track faculty was 13 for assistant professors, 33 for associate professors, and 81 for full professors. Citation medians ranged from 80.5 for assistant professors, to 378 for associate professors, to 1,401 for full professors. The median h-index was 4 for assistant professors, 10 for associate professors, and 20 for full professors. Significant differences were found across academic ranks and between tenure and nontenure track faculty.
The findings provide the first documentation of scholarly productivity of nursing faculty, as measured by number of publications and citations and by h-index, across schools of nursing in the United States.
These findings can be used as benchmarks by appointment, promotion, and tenure committees and by faculty for self-assessment.
全世界的护理学院都对与研究和学术相关的教师生产力进行评估。本研究的目的是检查美国选定护理学院中各学术职称的护理教师的发表物生产力，以及终身教职和非终身教职教师的发表物生产力。
这是一项对护理教师出版物和 h 指数的描述性研究。
从 Scopus 数据库中获取了 18 所护理学院的教师（N = 1,354）的出版物和引文数据以及 h 指数。
总体而言，教师的发表物数量、引文数量和 h 指数随着学术职称的提高而增加。终身教职教师的助理教授的发表物中位数为 13 篇，副教授为 33 篇，教授为 81 篇。引文中位数范围为助理教授 80.5，副教授 378，教授 1,401。h 指数中位数为助理教授 4，副教授 10，教授 20。在学术职称和终身教职与非终身教职教师之间存在显著差异。
这些发现提供了美国护理学院教师在出版物数量和引文数量以及 h 指数方面的学术生产力的首次记录。
这些发现可作为任命、晋升和终身教职委员会以及教师自我评估的基准。
