More Than Publication: Building Visibility and Influence
This webinar is hosted by the AACN Faculty Leadership Network (FLN).
Webinar Details
As nurses, we need to ensure that our work is made visible and that our contributions are recognized. Innovative projects, effective practices, and meaningful outcomes should be shared beyond the nursing community to reach the audiences who need nurses’ insights most. This webinar will offer dissemination strategies to promote your work beyond scholarly journals and colleagues.
Outcomes:
- List factors that can determine the likelihood of your paper getting published;
- Describe how to choose and vet appropriate, reputable journals;
- Identify three non-traditional strategies for disseminating your work.
