The purpose of this study was to analyze articles published in the Journal of the Korean Academy of Nursing (JKAN) between 2010 and 2019, along with those published in three international nursing journals, to improve JKAN's international reputation.
The overall characteristics of JKAN's published papers and keywords, study participants, types of nursing interventions and dependent variables, citations, and cited journals were analyzed. Additionally, the keywords and study designs, publication-related characteristics, journal impact factors (JIF), and Eigenfactor scores of International Journal of Nursing Studies (IJNS), International Nursing Review (INR), Nursing & Health Sciences (NHS), and JKAN were analyzed and compared.
Among the four journals, JKAN's score was the lowest in both the journal impact factor and Eigenfactor score. In particular, while the JIF of INR and NHS has been continuously increasing; JKAN's JIF has remained static for almost 10 years. The journals which had cited JKAN and those which JKAN had cited were mainly published in Korean.
JKAN still has a low IF and a low ranking among Social Citation Index (E) journals during the past 10 years, as compared to that of four international journals. To enhance JKAN's status as an international journal, it is necessary to consider publishing it in English and to continuously improve the conditions of other publications.
本研究旨在分析 2010 年至 2019 年期间《韩国护理学会杂志》（JKAN）发表的文章，以及发表在三种国际护理期刊上的文章，以提高 JKAN 的国际声誉。
分析了 JKAN 发表论文的总体特征和关键词、研究对象、护理干预措施和因变量的类型、引用情况以及被引期刊。此外，还分析和比较了 IJNS、INR、NHS 和 JKAN 的关键词和研究设计、出版相关特征、期刊影响因子（JIF）和 Eigenfactor 得分。
在这四个期刊中，JKAN 在期刊影响因子和 Eigenfactor 得分方面的得分最低。特别是，INR 和 NHS 的 JIF 一直在持续增长，而 JKAN 的 JIF 在近 10 年来一直保持不变。引用了 JKAN 的期刊和被 JKAN 引用的期刊主要在韩国出版。
与四种国际期刊相比，在过去 10 年中，JKAN 的 IF 仍然较低，在社会引文索引（E）期刊中的排名也较低。为了提高 JKAN 作为国际期刊的地位，有必要考虑以英文出版，并不断改善其他出版物的条件。
