Summary
This study identified 64 nonnursing journals relevant to nursing practice and research. These journals cite nursing literature, offering new publication avenues for nurses seeking broader dissemination of their work.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Bibliometrics
- Scholarly Communication
Background:
- Nurses often seek publication outlets within specialized nursing journals.
- Identifying nonnursing journals that engage with nursing literature can expand publication opportunities.
- Citation analysis is a valuable tool for mapping interdisciplinary relationships in research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify nonnursing journals that are relevant to nursing.
- To find journals that cite nursing literature, indicating potential publication venues for nurses.
- To provide data on these journals' subject matter, publication frequency, and impact factor.
Main Methods:
- Citation analysis was employed to identify relevant nonnursing journals.
- Twenty-two distinct indicators were utilized in the citation analysis.
- Data collected included journal subject, publication frequency, and 2008 impact factor.
Main Results:
- Sixty-four nonnursing journals were identified as highly relevant to nursing.
- These journals demonstrate engagement with the nursing scholarly literature.
- Information on subject, publication frequency, and impact factor is provided for each journal.
Conclusions:
- Nonnursing journals represent a significant, often overlooked, resource for nurse scholars.
- Utilizing these journals can increase the visibility and impact of nursing research.
- Nurses are encouraged to consider these interdisciplinary publication opportunities.

01:02Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

01:23Journal Bearings
Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.

00:52Potential Energy
The energy stored by a structure and location of matter in space is called potential energy. For instance, raising a kettlebell changes its spatial location and increases its potential energy. Similarly, a stretched rubber band contains potential energy which, under certain conditions, can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.
Chemical bonds that form attractive forces between atoms also contain potential energy, called chemical energy. When a chemical reaction...

01:23Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...

01:03Altruism
Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.
01:08The Availability Heuristic
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
