“…We found that 21% of the projects resulted in publication. This was lower than the 37% in a previous report that included DNP projects from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing up to 2016 by Becker et al (2018). This may be because these authors, in addition to searching the literature using PubMed and Google Scholar also accepted a print version of a publication provided by the graduate.…”

“…The authors noted that the scope and complexity of the projects increased from the first cohort to the fifth cohort and that students in the earlier cohorts were more likely to examine changes in knowledge than students in the later cohorts. In another paper describing publication outcomes of DNP students at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Becker, Johnson, Rucker, and Finnell (2018) described the 156 students enrolled in between 2009–2016 and any publications that they had during their studies and after graduation. Fifty‐eight (37%) students published their DNP Project papers and 20 (13%) published integrative reviews of the literature.…”

Aims and objectives: The role of professional doctorates is receiving increased attention internationally. As part of building the rigour and scholarship of these programmes, we assessed projects undertaken as part of a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programme at Johns Hopkins University. Recommendations for programme development in professional doctorates are provided. Background: Past research has described the methodologic limitations and dissemination of DNP projects. However, few studies have provided recommendations for strengthening these projects and alternative strategies for achieving scale in larger student cohorts. Design: A descriptive study reported in accordance with STROBE guidelines. Methods: From 2009-2018, 191 final DNP project reports were obtained from the DNP programme administrator. Essential project characteristics from the papers were extracted, including use of theoretical framework, design, setting, sample and dissemination through publication. To determine whether the results of the projects had been published, the title and student's name were searched in Google Scholar and Google. Results: Of the 191 projects, 83% focused on adults and 61% were conducted in the hospital setting. Sample sizes ranged from 7 to 24,702. Eighty per cent of the projects employed a pretest/post-test design, including both single and independent groups. The projects spanned six overarching themes, including process improvement, clinician development, patient safety, patient outcome improvement, access to care and workplace environment. Twenty-one per cent of the project findings were published in scholarly journals. Conclusions: Conducting a critical review of DNP projects has been useful in refining a strategy shifting from incremental to transformative changes in advanced practice. | 4091 TURKSON-OCRAN eT Al.

“…However, a study evaluating dissemination requirements found that only 41% require an executive summary to practice site shareholders 8 . Because project requirements and rigor vary, dissemination will correspondingly differ but is essential, shortening gaps in translating evidence into practice at the host site 50 . Organization leaders and mentors are well positioned to ensure that, at a minimum, stakeholders receive a summary of results.…”

“…Another trend documented in natural resources and other disciplines is the expectation for students to publish their research while enrolled in their graduate program rather than after their graduation (Becker, Johnson, Rucker, & Finnell, 2018; Pinheiro, Melkers, & Youtie, 2014). In this study, of the 58 papers published prior to the graduation date of the student, 65% occurred with graduate students completing their degree in the 2000s and 20% with graduates from the 1990s.…”

Publication patterns of natural resources graduate students from nine U.S. universities were compared across seven decades in an effort to assist graduate students and faculty members in setting realistic expectations for publication. Graduate students steadily increased their level of publication in peer‐reviewed journals across the study period. In the 1950s, 0% of doctoral students published their research and by the 2000s, 73% of doctoral students published their research. There was also an increasing temporal trend in the number of co‐authors on graduate student publications. In the 1960s, 50% of graduate student publications had two co‐authors and in the 2000s, 28% of graduate‐student publications had two authors; 29% had three authors; 21% had four authors; 13% had five authors; and 10% had six or more authors. Publications authored by doctoral students received significantly more citations (average of 23.2 citations per publication) than those publications authored by master's students (average of 17.1 citations per publication). As expectations for graduate student publication and ability to work on larger research teams rise, it is important that universities and faculty advisors provide resources and training to allow graduate students to successfully reach these new expectations.
