Title: Analysis of international content of ranked nursing journals in
2005 using ex post facto design

Authors: Dougherty, MC; Lin, SY; McKenna, HP; Seers, K; Keeney, S 

Author Full Names: Dougherty, Molly C.; Lin, Shu-Yuan; McKenna, Hugh P.;
Seers, Kate; Keeney, Sinead

Source: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED NURSING 67 (6): 1358-1369 JUN 2011

KeyWords Plus: TRENDS; IMPACT

Abstract: P>Aim.
The purpose of this study was to examine articles in ISI-ranked nursing
journals and to analyse the articles and journals, using definitions of
international and article content.
Background.
Growing emphasis on global health includes attention on international
nursing literature. Contributions from Latin America and Africa have
been reported. Attention to ranked nursing journals to support
scholarship in global health is needed.
Method.
Using an ex post facto design, characteristics of 2827 articles, authors
and journals of 32 ranked nursing journals for the year 2005 were
analysed between June 2006 and June 2007. Using definitions of
international and of article content, research questions were analysed
statistically.
Findings.
(a) 928 (32 center dot 8%) articles were international; (b) 2016 (71
center dot 3%) articles were empirical or scholarly; (c) 826 (89 center
dot 3%) articles reflecting international content were scholarly or
empirical; (d) among international articles more were empirical (66
center dot 3% vs. 32 center dot 8%; chi 2((1)) = 283 center dot 6, P < 0
center dot 001); (e) among non-international articles more were
scholarly (29 center dot 9% vs. 22 center dot 7%; chi 2((1)) = 15 center
dot 85, P < 0 center dot 001; 22 center dot 7%); (f) 1004 (78 center dot
0%) articles were international, based on author characteristics; (f) 20
(62 center dot 5%) journals were led by an international editorial team;
and (g) international journals had more international articles (3 center
dot 6% vs. 29 center dot 2%; chi 2((1)) = 175 center dot 75, P < 0
center dot 001) and higher impact factors than non-international
journals (t = -14 center dot 43, P < 0 center dot 001).
Conclusion.
Articles with empirical content appear more frequently in international
journals. Results indicate the need to examine the international
relevance of the nursing literature.

Title: Journal Quality Metrics: Options to Consider Other Than Impact
Factors

Authors: Brown, T 

Author Full Names: Brown, Ted

Source: AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY 65 (3): 346-350 Sp.
Iss. SI MAY-JUN 2011

Language: English

Document Type: Article

Author Keywords: bibliometrics; journal impact factors; occupational
therapy; publications

KeyWords Plus: OCCUPATIONAL-THERAPY; H-INDEX; CITATIONS

Abstract: Journal quality metrics (also referred to as bibliometrics),
such as impact factors, are increasingly being used as a measure of
researchers' and educators' success and prestige. Occupational
therapists who submit articles to peer-reviewed journals may face a
professional and research dilemma: Do they submit their articles to
journals that largely have a professional audience and potentially do
not have an impact factor, or do they opt not to publish their research
material in occupational therapy oriented journals? Occupational therapy
authors can consider other journal quality metric alternatives, in
addition to the impact factor option, including the Eigenfactor Score,
Article Influence Score, h-index, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Source
Normalised Impact per Paper (SNIP), and discipline-specific generated
journal quality measures. These other journal quality metrics can be
important reference points for occupational therapists who publish and
m! ay encourage authors to publish in journals relevant to the
discipline. This process, in turn, will build the occupational therapy
body of knowledge as well as provide an essential, growing reference
source for evidence-based practice.
