Popis: To analyse subsequent citations of 91 articles identified by editors as reflecting excellence in nursing literature and in a companion dataset of 82 other articles from the same journals; and to compare the concepts of reach, persistence, and dissemination in these two datasets.A quantitative bibliometric analysis and qualitative thematic analysis were done between February-June 2019.In all, 91 articles nominated by editors comprised the first dataset. A companion dataset was created by selecting articles (N = 82) from the same journals.Articles were assessed for type, focus, discipline, total number of authors, and geographical location of the first author. Scopus was searched to obtain bibliographic information and subsequent second- and third-generation citations for all indexed articles.For the articles selected by the editors, 76 were indexed and 43 (56.5%) were cited at least once, resulting in 333 citations in the second and third generations. For the companion articles, 38 (of 78) were cited, with 175 subsequent citations. These findings are congruent with the prior study.Articles in nursing journals are being read and cited. The concepts of persistence, reach, and dissemination are supported and their use in bibliometric analysis is warranted.This novel research highlights the global and interdisciplinary impact of a unique set of articles representing nursing and nursing specialty areas. All the articles in the virtual journal and companion dataset were from nursing journals, but dissemination was to other disciplines, primarily medicine. Findings from this replication study continue the effort to document the rigour of content in the nursing literature; support its use to inform policy and practice at all levels; and offer evidence of excellence in content to inform nursing curricula.目的: 对91篇经编辑确认可代表护理文献以及来自相同期刊的其他82篇文章组成的配套数据集优秀典范的文章的后继引用情况进行分析,并比较这两个数据集的覆盖面、持续性和传播范围的概念。 设计: 于2019年2月至6月期间开展定量文献计量分析和定性专题分析。 数据来源: 共有91篇由编辑提名的文章构成了第一个数据集。通过从相同期刊中筛选文章(N=82)创建了一个配套的数据集。 评估方法: 对文章的类型、研究重点、学科、作者总数、第一作者所处地理区位等进行评估。通过Scopus进行检索,以获取所有索引文章的书目信息以及后继二次和三次引用。 结果: 在编辑选择的文章中,有76篇被收录,有43篇(56.5%)至少被引用一次,后续共有333次二次和三次引用。在配套文章中,有38篇(共78篇)被引用,后续被引用175次。这些发现与先前的研究一致。 结论: 护理期刊上的文章广为阅读和引用。持续性、覆盖面和传播范围的概念得到了支持,且有必要在文献计量分析中使用此等概念。 影响: 这项新的研究突出了代表护理和护理专业领域的独特文章对全球和跨学科的影响。线上期刊和配套数据集中的所有文章均来自护理期刊,但传播内容是其他学科,主要是医学。这一复制研究的结果表明,需继续保持记录护理文献中内容的严谨性;支持其为在各级政策和实践中的应用提供信息,并提供优秀内容证据,为护理课程提供信息。.
