Dissertation Nursing EDUCATIONAL
In the section DISSERTATION NURSING EDUCATIONAL are published:
- Incomplete studies: a research project may have to be interrupted due to difficulties in finding data, errors only realized later on, or various other reasons. Publishing incomplete work with an appropriate reason and explanation is an important opportunity for new researchers to grow, as they can learn from what has been previously done to progress in the field of research.
- Obsolete studies: Sometimes, studies carried out with the correct methodology take time to publish, resulting in obsolete and implying the need to update them for possible publication. The publication of this kind of content, with a brief review of current progress on the topic, can help suggest new directions for developing new research and updated studies on the same topics.
- Small-scale surveys/reviews: small-scale studies, even if carried out without a rigorous methodology, can be an important starting point for in-depth investigations, extensions, and learning how to implement scientific research methodology in practice. To this end, the publication of this kind of contribution will be accompanied by a constructive editorial suggestion regarding improvements to be made to carry out a similar study in a more rigorous (and scientifically valid) manner.
