Nurse researchers often lack awareness of how to start a clinical academic research career and often lack clear entry routes. This scoping review aims to identify the range and nature of clinical academic opportunities available for nurses. This will also identify the knowledge gaps and provide the basis for future research.
The review will be conducted using scoping review methodology and reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses with the Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. We will search CINAHL (EBSCO), MEDLINE (Ovid), AMED (Ovid) and ProQuest using a search based on the facet's 'nurse', 'research' and 'clinical academic'. Grey literature and a hand search of the reference lists will be conducted for additional publications meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We will include articles published in English, with a focus on registered nurses interested in undertaking clinical academic development within any healthcare system, with no restrictions regarding the date of publication. Following initial screening of titles and abstracts, relevant full-text papers will be screened for inclusion. Two independent reviewers will participate in an iterative process of screening the literature, paper selection and data extraction. We will use a prespecified form to extract data which will be charted and presented in a tabular form. Samples of data extraction and charting will be checked by a second reviewer. This will support a narrative summary structured around key identified variables agreed on iteratively by the review team.
No ethical or Health Research Authority approval is required to undertake this scoping review. The findings will inform future research exploring the opportunities supporting nurses aspiring to undertake clinical academic development and be disseminated via presentations at national conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals.

护士研究人员常常不清楚如何开启临床学术研究职业生涯，且往往缺乏明确的入门途径。本综述旨在确定护士可获得的临床学术机会的范围和性质。这也将找出知识空白，并为未来研究提供依据。
本综述将采用综述方法进行，并按照系统评价与Meta分析的首选报告项目及综述扩展指南进行报告。我们将在CINAHL（EBSCO）、MEDLINE（Ovid）、AMED（Ovid）和ProQuest数据库中进行检索，检索词基于“护士”“研究”和“临床学术”这些方面。将对灰色文献进行检索，并手动查阅参考文献列表，以获取符合纳入和排除标准的其他出版物。我们将纳入以英文发表的文章，重点关注有兴趣在任何医疗系统内开展临床学术发展的注册护士，对发表日期不作限制。在对标题和摘要进行初步筛选后，将对相关全文论文进行筛选以确定是否纳入。两名独立评审员将参与文献筛选、论文选择和数据提取的迭代过程。我们将使用预先指定的表格来提取数据，这些数据将被制成图表并以表格形式呈现。数据提取和制表的样本将由另一名评审员进行检查。这将支持围绕评审团队反复商定的关键确定变量构建的叙述性总结。
进行本综述无需伦理或健康研究管理局的批准。研究结果将为未来探索支持有志于开展临床学术发展的护士的机会的研究提供参考，并将通过在全国会议上的报告以及在同行评审期刊上发表来进行传播。
