This is higher than other studies of open access research articles globally. However, barriers at an institutional level may need to be addressed to ensure nurses can be informed in their care of patients.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kasia Bail<\/li>\n<li>Jamie Ranse<\/li>\n<li>Roger Clarke<\/li>\n<li>Ben Rattray<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>MESH terms, access to information, publishing, peer review research, information dissemination, evidence-based nursing<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Open access to nursing journals: an audit of the 2010 ERA journal list Original&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4656,4162,4658,4655,4657,1534],"class_list":["post-7499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-access-to-information","tag-evidence-based-nursing","tag-information-dissemination","tag-mesh-terms","tag-peer-review-research","tag-publishing","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
