“…Papers on international trends in nursing research involved mainly English-speaking nations (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States; Thelwall & Mas-Bleda, 2020) or Asian countries (South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong; Im et al, 2020). The top five countries in the world in terms of the number of highimpact papers from 2008 to 2018 were the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Sweden (Zhu et al, 2020).…”

Aim: To gather information from nurses and allied health professionals in the French context of the emergence of research in the field so as to inform the development of a new tool: The research in nursing and allied health sciences' Ideas Generator (GénI) capable of sustaining the identification of research ideas from professionals in the field. Background: In many countries, research in nursing and allied health sciences remains underdeveloped. Introduction: Before developing the Ideas Generator tool, it was essential to explore professionals' basis of reference in providing care, then investigate (1) their representation of research in this field of science and (2) their perception of needs for and obstacles to starting a research process. Methods: The qualitative research design used focus groups. The study population included 24 participants naive to research in four hospitals in eastern France (13 nurses and 11 allied health professionals). Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The study was reported in compliance with the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research criteria. Findings: Professionals used tacit knowledge and their experiences to address care, but the culture of scientific evidence was clearly missing (lack of knowledge of the origin of care guidelines, few bibliographic skills). Participation in a research process could hardly be envisaged without a supervised collaboration with a physician. Research was perceived not to be part of professionals' culture. They self-censured for lack of methodological competencies. Discussion: Findings underlined some leverage, obstacles, and need to consider to generate a stimulation in the field, especially in countries where such research is still in its infancy. Implication for nursing, health, and education policy: Strengthening the field of nursing and allied health research is essential to extend the skills of nurses and allied health workers and to improve the quality of patient care by taking into account results from the literature. The Ideas Generator tool will be implemented to sustain learning the skills of research through education and training.

“…For example, in Cluster 3, Warshawsky and Cramer (2019) illustrated the nurse manager role preparation and competency, which cited Kuraoka's (2018) findings on fostering competence among nurse managers via an experiential learning‐based programme, and the two papers shared the same keyword of ‘education’. Therefore, keyword analysis can help identify trends in published research topics with the most frequently used keywords denoting the most popular topics (Thelwall & Mas‐Bleda, 2020). In addition, this study found that the fields of study on core competencies that had the highest citation counts mostly belonged to the following main areas: nursing, business economics and public environmental occupational health; for instance, Egbert et al (2019) indicated the importance of fostering nursing informatics core competency in the digital era.…”

Aims This study aimed to identify high‐impact papers on global nursing to determine and analyse the publication of articles on core competencies in nursing‐related journals and the research trends in the era of globalization. Background Bibliometrics has been shown to be an effective method for analysing publications. Through bibliometrics, nursing managers and researchers can understand the trends of high‐impact international nursing core competencies research, identify mainstream research directions and obtain relevant knowledge and information, thereby facilitating the translation of research outcomes into nursing management practice. Evaluation The study adopted bibliometric analysis and the VOSviewer software to explore dynamic publication trends and analyse the current situation of nursing research from a comprehensive development perspective, which was realized by searching for nursing core competencies papers in the Web of Science (WoS) database, calculating citations and determining the trends of the most influential papers. Key issues Nursing core competencies research grew rapidly between 1997 and 2022. Countries with the most core competencies publications were the United States, England, Australia and Canada. The Journal of Nursing Management has attracted substantial attention from researchers worldwide. Education, Management and Nurses were the most frequently used keywords in the study. A total of 534 papers were retrieved from the WoS database with the main research fields, including nursing, business economics, public environmental occupational health and health care science services. Conclusion Equipping nursing graduates with core competencies has always been an important goal of global medical and nursing education. This study analysed papers across 35 years, most of which were published in the Journal of Nursing Management. In addition, the study identified some of the main research topics of nursing management, such as the integration of education with nursing management and the cultivation of nurses' core competencies. The study also provides a fresh review of highly cited articles. The results of the study show that high‐quality articles play the role of improving both the quality and the quantity of related research. By analysing the trends of the research on core competencies, this study lays a bibliometric foundation for researchers regarding international journals, hot topics and relevant fields. In addition, the highly cited articles reveal new perspectives for the nursing field, providing inspiration for nursing management and education researchers. Implications for Nursing Management This study provides scholars and managers with an overview of the current situation of nursing management research and the development of benchmark journals. The study provides researchers not only with a better understanding of various international journals, allowing them to transition out of traditional thinking in the era of science and technology, but also with innovative thinking by comb...

“…This is intended to enhance the information available and improve the decision-making on both the practice and research of Nursing. Some of these works provide a comprehensive overview of the quantitative research in Nursing ( Thelwall, 2020 ), the disciplinary context ( Pardo et al., 2001 ) or the detailed historic description of literature that explores the bibliometrics of Nursing research ( Kokol, 2019 ).…”
