Nursing Publications & Subscriptions. Are they worth buying?Rating: (votes: 0) I just do Nursing 2014 and I get it from an on-line seller who is way cheaper than the publisher. Comment:
I recommend subscribing the leading journal in your particular specialty. Maybe a second journal (e.g. the one from you country's leading nursing organization). But no need to spend a lot of money on several. And if your employer gives you online access, then there is no need to buy any.
Comment:
As to the idea that random online posts could be "more reliable," it is unlikely that whoever is posting them puts all submissions through thorough peer review, editorial revisions, fact checking, and the like. A reputable journal does that.I get several journals. Two that are delivered electronically only, having ceased printing and mailing hard copies to save money. Advantages: Both now include live links to resources. I still get a few in hard copy/print, but even those are available online. They are all the same publications as the hard copy versions, just easier to load on my iPad , and have the same editorial boards and policies they always had.
Comment:
I started getting a nursing journal way back when there was no online option and stopped when I could no longer afford much of anything. At the time, I also considered that I no longer had a place to store the copies and didn't want to part with them. Nowadays it is too easy to access appropriate content online and I still have no place to maintain a library of hard copies.
