This study investigates Australian nursing academics' publications in nursing and health journals in 1993-94. It describes the personal and professional characteristics of the authors, characteristics of the articles and interactions among these characteristics. Frequency descriptions were done to describe data and cross-tabulations were used to investigate relationships. The major findings about the authors are that few nurse-academics are publishing, that those who do publish are mainly senior academics, and that there are differences in publication rates among the states. The major findings about articles were that the majority of articles were in domestic journals, the major type of scholarship is research scholarship and that there is a shift away from teaching scholarship articles. The major focus of research scholarship is medical-surgical-nursing, with a quantitative approach, correlational design, convenience sample and no theoretical framework. Recommendations are made for further research which does not restrict scholarship to that appearing in journals and which investigates factors that constrain and facilitate scholarship.
本研究调查了1993 - 1994年澳大利亚护理学界人士在护理与健康期刊上发表的文章。它描述了作者的个人和专业特征、文章的特点以及这些特征之间的相互关系。采用频数描述来描述数据，并使用交叉列表来研究各种关系。关于作者的主要发现是，发表文章的护理学界人士很少，发表文章的主要是资深学者，而且各州的发表率存在差异。关于文章的主要发现是，大多数文章发表在国内期刊上，主要的学术类型是研究型学术，并且正在从教学型学术文章转向其他类型。研究型学术的主要重点是外科护理，采用定量方法、相关设计、便利样本且没有理论框架。针对进一步的研究提出了建议，即研究不应局限于发表在期刊上的学术成果，而应调查制约和促进学术研究的因素。
