To assess Italian nurse academics' scientific activity by exploring their publications in international journals. Background: The scientific production of a discipline's academics is a requisite for the university accreditation process and for employment in academic positions. It can also be used as an indicator of the maturity and importance of a given discipline in a country. Italian nurse academics' scientific production has not been analyzed recently. Design: Quantitative descriptive study on an observation period of 16 years, from 2000 to 2016. Methods: All Italian full-time academics in the sector of General, Clinical, and Pediatric Nursing Sciences were identified, based on selection criteria. All their publications in indexed international journals were systematically collected between November 2016 and February 2017. Results: Twenty-five Italian nurse academics were identified, and 450 of their publications met all our inclusion criteria, with a mean of 18 publications per author (range 0À88). There was a steady growth in the number of publications over time. Sixty-five percent of articles were published in nursing journals. Eighty-six percent of the publications were on nursing topics, the most popular being clinical issues (53.8%). Eighty percent of the publications were "applied research articles" and most of them adopted a quantitative approach with a descriptive study design. Hospitals and clinics were the most common settings studied, while patients and caregivers were the participants most often involved. Foreign coauthors contributed to 30% of the articles. Discussion: Italian nursing academics contribute adequately to scientific production in the nursing sector.

“…Despite the limitations of bibliographic indices of research productivity and success in nursing (Davidson et al., ), they remain as useful indicators of academic scholarship when used judiciously (Thompson & Clark, ). We look forward to developments in technology that will enable more sophisticated analyses of research products, including publication and citation metrics, towards the evolution of a growing worldwide base of academics in nursing whose research efforts, regardless of scope or scale, lead to enhanced learning and mentorship, and meaningful, lasting improvement in human health experiences and outcomes.…”

“…Hack and colleagues observed that nurses with an h -index of 10–14 indicated an excellent publication record [13]. Thompson and Clark cite the five top bad reasons nurses do not publish in high impact journals and among these are the need to influence nurse clinicians and reach a particular audience [18]. They argue that ignoring bibliometrics is folly and we should strive to publish in journals that are highly influential across disciplines.…”

Background. Bibliometrics are an essential aspect of measuring academic and organizational performance. Aim. This review seeks to describe methods for measuring bibliometrics, identify the strengths and limitations of methodologies, outline strategies for interpretation, summarise evaluation of nursing and midwifery performance, identify implications for metric of evaluation, and specify the implications for nursing and midwifery and implications of social networking for bibliometrics and measures of individual performance. Method. A review of electronic databases CINAHL, Medline, and Scopus was undertaken using search terms such as bibliometrics, nursing, and midwifery. The reference lists of retrieved articles and Internet sources and social media platforms were also examined. Results. A number of well-established, formal ways of assessment have been identified, including h- and c-indices. Changes in publication practices and the use of the Internet have challenged traditional metrics of influence. Moreover, measuring impact beyond citation metrics is an increasing focus, with social media representing newer ways of establishing performance and impact. Conclusions. Even though a number of measures exist, no single bibliometric measure is perfect. Therefore, multiple approaches to evaluation are recommended. However, bibliometric approaches should not be the only measures upon which academic and scholarly performance are evaluated.
