Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Nursing Measurement?

Journal of Nursing Measurement focuses on Clinical psychology, Reliability (statistics), Psychometrics, Scale (social sciences) and Cronbach's alpha. Clinical psychology research presented in Journal of Nursing Measurement encompasses a variety of subjects, including Confirmatory factor analysis, Anxiety, Convergent validity, Construct validity and Exploratory factor analysis. The Confirmatory factor analysis study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Structural equation modeling.

The Construct validity study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Social psychology. The Reliability (statistics) works featured in it incorporate elements from Test (assessment), Physical therapy and Medical education. Journal of Nursing Measurement encompasses Psychometrics studies in the context of Developmental psychology as a whole.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Scale (social sciences), it also covered topics in Psychological intervention, Nursing, Validity, Applied psychology and Self-efficacy. Nurse education, Nursing care and Nursing research are all aspects of Nursing research featured in it. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Cronbach's alpha and the similar topic of Health care.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Nursing Measurement:

Psychometrics, Construct validity, Clinical psychology, Scale (social sciences) and Reliability (statistics) are the main subjects of interest in the journal papers. The studies on Psychometrics discussed at the most cited articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Psychological testing, Gerontology, Applied psychology, Cronbach's alpha and Self-efficacy. While the journal articles focused on Scale (social sciences), they were also able to explore topics like Nursing, Physical therapy, Health care and Rating scale.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Nursing
  • Health care

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly tackles studies in Reliability (statistics), Scale (social sciences), Cronbach's alpha, Clinical psychology and Construct validity. Journal of Nursing Measurement facilitates discussions on Reliability (statistics) that incorporate concepts from other fields like Test (assessment), Psychometrics and Medical education. The journal holds forums on Psychometrics that merges themes from other disciplines such as Cognition and Convergent validity.

The studies on Scale (social sciences) discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Nursing, Construct (philosophy), Validity and Acute care. In it, Internal consistency, Psychological resilience, Exploratory factor analysis and Family medicine are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cronbach's alpha research. Some problems in Construct validity that were presented in Journal of Nursing Measurement overlapped with concepts under Structural equation modeling, Intraclass correlation and Face validity.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Reliability and Validity Testing of the Quantified Quality of Interaction Scale (QuIS). (1 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 4.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.28% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.28% of all publications and 59.04% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Educational Infrastructure Supporting Research In Psychology

Conducting breakthrough research in Clinical Psychology and Psychometrics often necessitates a robust educational infrastructure. Top institutions not only provide the necessary academic learning but also extend essential research opportunities that shape aspiring scholars in these domains. A shining example of robust academic and research infrastructures can be found in Hawaii.

Among numerous prestigious academic institutions, the best psychology schools in Hawaii equip students with the fundamental concepts and advanced methodologies in Clinical Psychology and Psychometrics. These acclaimed centers of education serve as breeding grounds for the next generation of scholars who contribute to esteemed publications, such as the Journal of Nursing Measurement. While providing high-quality education, these institutions also foster research environments conducive for groundbreaking studies shaping the future of Clinical Psychology and related fields.

The strength of these institutions is also reflected in their contributions to articles featuring in top-tier journals including the Journal of Nursing Measurement. Hence, the underlying support from these top-tier educational institutions is noteworthy while discussing the body of work in esteemed research publications.
