(1) Identify and characterise the nursing contribution to impact case studies submitted to Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 across all Units of Assessment and compare this to those submitted to REF 2014; (2) Identify and characterise those impact case studies of relevance to nursing that did not include a nurse in the research team; (3) Compare the characteristics of impact case studies identified in Aim 2 with those that did include a nurse in the research team.
Desk-based analysis of REF2021 published data.
We searched the REF2021 impact database with the term nurs* then sorted case studies into categories representing the involvement of nurses on the research team. We developed variables with which to examine the impact case studies (ICSs) and make comparisons.
One-fifth of ICSs involving a nurse researcher do not contribute to a visible body of 'nursing research' and is 'hidden' in other disciplines; research teams persistently fail to involve nurse researchers when researching topics of clear relevance to nurses and nursing.
Our findings provide insight into two topics of importance for nursing research: reputation, and failure to benefit from transdisciplinarity.
Benefit to nurse researchers from involvement in transdisciplinary research is still limited; some nursing research remains hidden.
（1）识别并描述在提交给2021年卓越研究框架（REF）的所有评估单元中的影响案例研究中护理方面的贡献，并将其与提交给2014年REF的案例进行比较；（2）识别并描述与护理相关但研究团队中没有护士的影响案例研究；（3）比较目标2中识别出的影响案例研究的特征与研究团队中有护士的案例研究的特征。
对REF2021公布的数据进行案头分析。
我们在REF2021影响数据库中用“nurs*”进行搜索，然后将案例研究分类，以体现护士在研究团队中的参与情况。我们制定了变量，用于审查影响案例研究（ICSs）并进行比较。
五分之一涉及护士研究人员的ICSs并未对“护理研究”的可见主体做出贡献，而是“隐藏”在其他学科中；在研究与护士和护理明显相关的主题时，研究团队一直未能让护士研究人员参与进来。
我们的研究结果为护理研究中两个重要主题提供了见解：声誉，以及未能从跨学科研究中受益。
护士研究人员参与跨学科研究的益处仍然有限；一些护理研究仍然不为人知。
