Summary

In order to explain the current possibilities of publishing the results of nursing research, a survey was performed relating to the number of journals with an impact factor (IF) from the field of nursing research and its development over recent years and the number of reviewed (non-impacted) journals dealing with this topic in the Czech Republic. Within the survey, the method of analysis of written documents was used. The numbers of journals with IF from the area of nursing research were found in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database located in two editions in which nursing research is studied

– JCR Science Edition (Sci. Ed.) and

– JCR Social Edition (Soc. Sci. Ed.).

The reviewed non-impacted journals were studied according to the List of Inland Reviewed Non-Impacted Journals published by the Council for Science and Research. There is no journal listed that is devoted solely to nursing and nursing research. In the list for 2010, two journals are given which are concerned with health care professions where nursing is mentioned as a priority

– “Kontakt”, a professional and scientific journal for health and social problems, and

– Profession On-Line, an electronic journal aimed at professionals in nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, radiological assistance and other health care specialties.

While, at the international level, there has been an extraordinary increase of impacted journals dealing with nursing research, which significantly exceeds the increase in other medical specialties and which was virtually doubled in 2005 – 2008, the number of Czech reviewed journals dealing with nursing research continues to be low. Appropriate attention should be paid to nursing research in order both to develop nursing research and to introduce a new system of financing for this research.

Key words:
database, impact factor, nursing research, reviewed journal.
