No more unimplementable nurse workforce planning

How, scholar, do you want to be remembered by future generations?: Finding your own balance between the ownership of knowledge and the freedom to pursue economic interests

“…For those reasons, the research results-of which Park's Sweet Spot Theory has been applied/adapted without written permission of the original copyright holder-may be subject to copyright infringement based on "substantial similarity." 1,3,7,9,17 Caution should be exercised:…”

“…Given that the contracts for the IBM Watson for oncology weren't renewed in many countries, due to its low diagnostic accuracy (particularly, in cancers of high frequency in the East, unlike West) but high price tag, 3,6 a contextual reusability of a newly proposed solution is critical for its actual implementation in global nursing practice. However, research evidence utilizing mathematical modeling is confined by the model setting (no matter how sophisticated the modeling is), and by extension, the resultant values are less sustainable and implementable because they vary each time depending on variables and constraints that apply to each model setting 2,7,8 . Statistical‐based empirical studies that compose most nursing research is also no exception 7 .…”

Statistical‐based empirical studies that compose most nursing research is also no exception 7 . For this reason, simply applying sophisticated analytic modeling techniques to nursing studies may be short‐sighted in terms of a wide implementation of the solution.…”

“…The theory also includes a copyright‐protected standard procedure (Korea [C‐2016‐031091]; USA [TX 8‐371‐760]) 1 . Thus, adaptation and application of the standard procedure (as well as the illustration of the Park's Sweet Spot Theory) to another context must require prior written permission from the original copyright holder 1,3,7,9,17 . It is not an exaggeration to say that there is already a high entry barrier to utilizing Park's theory.…”

“…Also, unlike literary expressions, academic expressions have limitations in creative expressions that are clearly distinguished from original work. For those reasons, the research results–of which Park's Sweet Spot Theory has been applied/adapted without written permission of the original copyright holder–may be subject to copyright infringement based on “substantial similarity.” 1,3,7,9,17 Caution should be exercised: to simply think that copyright law only protects “creative expressions” unlike the “original ideas” protected by the patent may be misleading and come into conflict among the interested parties 18 …”
