Publishing evidence for impact on practice [Symposium]
Abstract
Session presented on Sunday, November 8, 2015:
It will have been demonstrated earlier in the symposium how the pressures of increasing demand of research output, and the changing publishing landscape, has resulted in a boom period for nursing publications. In this paper a senior publisher of Elsevier academic nursing journals will examine the analytical tools employed by the research community to measure the 'impact' of this output (McKenna 2015). She will also take a look at new channels of dissemination and their potential effect on the evaluation of the clinical/community use of the evidence-based research. The presentation will: (1) examine the trends of publication output in nursing over the last decade, using tools such as term maps and journal citation maps to demonstrate the changing landscape of nursing evidence-based publication; (2) provide an overview of the measurements used to assess nursing publications and their perceived "value" to the research community; and (3) consider some of the new channels available to disseminate, share and measure the clinical relevance and impact of the published evidence - looking at new technologies and new tools (Elsevier 2014).
