Many nursing academics in Australia are finding to their dismay that an outstanding teaching career and exemplary professional contribution to their field--and a PhD--are not enough to achieve promotion within their university, or secure a new academic post. One must also possess a proven or established 'track record' in research and publication. The operational funding arrangements for Australian universities rely in part on the research productivity of their academic staff members. This places special expectation upon the way academics conduct their scholarly work. Nursing academics are under particular pressure: as relative newcomers to the university scene, most find themselves considered as early career researchers with weak track records. This paper reviews relevant research and draws upon personal experience in the area of research development, to highlight how nursing academics may most strategically establish a research and publication record with a view to career advancement.
许多澳大利亚的护理学界人士沮丧地发现，一份出色的教学生涯、对其领域堪称典范的专业贡献以及一个博士学位，并不足以在所在大学获得晋升，或是谋得一个新的学术职位。一个人还必须在研究和出版方面拥有经过验证或确立的“业绩记录”。澳大利亚大学的运营资金安排部分依赖于其学术人员的研究生产力。这对学者开展学术工作的方式提出了特殊期望。护理学界人士面临着特别的压力：作为大学领域的相对新人，大多数人发现自己被视为业绩记录薄弱的早期职业研究者。本文回顾了相关研究，并借鉴了在研究发展领域的个人经验，以强调护理学界人士如何最具策略性地建立研究和出版记录，以期在职业生涯中获得晋升。
