Purpose: This study aims to examine the research output in the field of nursing at the global level during the last two decades, viz., for the period 1996-2015, with special reference to India. Some of the aspects examined include the research growth in nursing literature during the period of study, leading nursing research countries at the regional and global level, and citation analysis. Scope and Methodology: This study is global in nature, but emphasis has also been laid on India's research contribution in nursing at the global level. Aspects like regional contribution to the nursing research output have also been assessed. This study is purely based on secondary data retrieved from SCImago Journal and Country Rankings. The figures in the study are based on one particular database and are not exhaustive; hence they simply reflect a trend in nursing research at the global level. Findings: During the period 1996 through 2015, a total of 550,490 research articles were published across the world by 212 nation states at an average of 2,596 articles from each individual country. On average, during the period of study, the number of nursing research publications grew at the rate of 7.36% each year. North America has emerged as one of the leading nursing research continents of the world by publishing 218,614 research articles, constituting 39.71% of the global nursing research output. The U.S. and U.K. are the world's two leading nursing research countries, which contributed 193,819 and 61,730 research articles respectively, comprising a 35.21% and 11.21% share of global nursing research output. India and China, apart from being the two fastest growing nursing research countries, have the potential to meet the global human resource demand in the field of nursing, given the skilled and trained human resource both these countries possess in nursing. Social Implication: There is always a need to share working knowledge in some professions and nursing is one of them. There cannot be a better medium than linking practice with theory through the research medium. Metric studies in turn help to get a better idea about the amount of work done in any given field at the national and international level, thus identifying the need thereof to improve upon those areas where there is research lag.

문제 정의
The study reflects the yearwise publication distribution of nursing research both at the global level and India’s contribution thereof during the period of study.
제안 방법
biomedical research, Traynor, Rafferty, and Lewison (2001) found that less than 1% of the total publications pertain to nursing. The authors made their analysis by segregating articles on the endogenous and exogenous nature of each one. The research techniques in the nursing field, like other specialised sciences, varies considerably from country to country, observed Polit and Beck (2009) while studying 1,072 research articles published in the eight different English nursing research journals of different countries during the year 2005-06.
Accordingly, the data were retrieved against different regions for different years. The data upon retrieval were in semi-structured form, and given the objectives of the study the data were structured so as to meet the requirements of the study. The study reflects the yearwise publication distribution of nursing research both at the global level and India’s contribution thereof during the period of study.
There is a growing trend towards nursing research in critical care observed (VanCott, Tittle, Moody, & Wilson, 1991). The researchers analyzed the articles published in the area of critical care nursing practices during the period 1979-1988 and found a high percentage of intervention-oriented studies identifying a research based practice.
A growing trend has evolved to undertake bibliometric studies in different subject fields, including nursing, evaluating both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the research undertaking (Smith & Hazelton, 2008). The researchers discussed the evidence based practices in nursing, the journal performance indicators, and international publishing trends.
대상 데이터
The data for the present study were retrieved from the official website of SCImago on March 19, 2015 (accessible at http://www.scimagojr.com) (Scimago Lab, 2015). However, the study was updated up to 2015 and accordingly the revised data were retrieved from the website on May 4, 2017.
The database is open access and can be accessed and downloaded by anybody all across the world. To retrieve the data, the main field was selected as nursing against 23 sub-nursing fields, against different regions and countries in a particular year. The process was repeated for each individual year.
, 1988). While assessing nursing research aspects, the researchers studied 720 research articles published from 1977-1986. The most interesting aspect of this study revealed that nearly 95% of research publications were undertaken by nurses as first author.
