Research publication credit assignment: nurses' views.
A national survey of 1,693 persons (primarily nurses) from eight target groups was done to assess views on publication credit assignment. Data were collected using scenarios in a questionnaire based on the instrument developed by Spiegel and Keith-Spiegel (1970). Scenario items and the percentages of 897 respondents selecting each response alternative are presented in an appendix. Response rates indicated that authorship credit assignment is an important issue for nurses functioning primarily in academic settings. Among items selected by 85% or more of 620 nurses in four subsample groups (American Academy of Nursing, Council of Nurse Researchers, authors, and nursing doctoral students) with response rates greater than 50%, 10 points of agreement were found. These points are summarized as possible guidelines for publication credit assignment. Few differences were found among scenario item responses of: (a) subjects classified as high and low publishers, (b) those with research as their major role responsibility and others, and (c) doctoral students and others.

Graduate nursing concentration in women's health at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The Graduate Nursing Concentration in Women's Health was formalized in the 1980s as a program of study that emphasizes nursing theory, research, and practice related to women's health. We describe the purposes of the program and the assumptions underlying the care of women as well as the curriculum and characteristics desired of graduates. In this program, the goal of advancing women's health is balanced by the desire to create a productive, educational environment that facilitates the personal construction of knowledge by learners.

Clarification of the database concept.
Our concern is that nursing databases be structured to improve the efficiency of decision-making in nursing. The selection of database management systems that are compatible with the computer resources in a majority of settings is important to methodology. To facilitate methodological development, we encourage the inclusion of information in the nursing literature that details the investments in personnel, equipment, and facilities required to develop computerized databases. In the current state of affairs, determining the personnel and budgets for the development, update, and maintenance of computerized databases and related data management systems is somewhat like trying to pin the tail on the donkey while blindfolded. However some of the frustrations encountered at the start of new endeavors can be lessened if we share our experiences in project management as we report findings from our work.
