A b s t r a c t
This article reviews information gleaned from a citation analysis of the literature from the field of continuing nursing education (CNE). The analysis was limited to articles published in refereed American journals from 1980 to 1990. The fact that these articles were frequently cited within CNE literature indicates their importance to the field of nursing. The compilation of these data provides those in nursing the opportunity to become more effective in self-examining their own field and the direction of its growth. In addition this information provides researchers in other fields a sense of the tradition and direction taken by the field of nursing and could open the possibility for joint avenues of research. The target number of publication was 20, but because many publications were cited equally, 13 books and 10 articles were selected.
