5) Participate in case studies and discussion questions posted on ICON
• What incentives can be put in place to overcome turf issues, competition for recognition, and
administrative and organizational barriers to research, practice, and policy partnerships?
• Describe your plan for disseminating your capstone project (be as specific as possible, where,
when, to who?). Use the AHRQ dissemination planning website to assist you.
• Using the leadership and teamwork competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes) you identified
on the QSEN assessment, how will you participate on interprofessional or intraprofessional
teams to disseminate your capstone project?
• Discuss potential ethical and legal issues that may surface in the dissemination of your project.
What strategies will you use to avoid the ethical and legal pitfalls?
Purpose/rationale:
Dissemination of nursing knowledge is essential for advanced practice nurses. Being able to contribute,
effectively use, and communicate knowledge to nurses, interdisciplinary colleagues, policy makers and
the public via publications, journal clubs, presentations, panel memberships, posters, and media
interviews is crucial for the nursing profession.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completing this seminar module, participants will be able to:
1. Discuss policy, economic, population, fiscal and organizational components of dissemination from a
broad systems perspective.
2. Discuss how to use leadership and teamwork competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes) on
interprofessional or intraprofessional teams in disseminating the capstone project.
3. Demonstrate understanding of authorship, conflicts of interest, plagiarism, and other legal and ethical
issues in dissemination.3
Barriers to Dissemination
Oral traditions of knowledge and skill transfer
History of “voiceless” and oppressed: poor self esteem, powerlessness, lack of solidarity, poor
communication skills
Interpersonal characteristics‐ dislike writing, inexperience, lack confidence, anxiety, and behaviors
such as perfectionism and procrastination, lack of motivation and perseverance, inefficient work habits,
poor writing skills, and difficulties taking constructive criticism.
Writers block‐ what to write about, can’t get started, don’t know what to say, role complexity,
conflicting expectations, grandiose expectations, and other priorities.
Lack of time‐ blocks of time and uninterrupted time are needed to facilitate though processes
Common Pitfalls
Uncertainty of contribution to nursing, the “so what?”
Lack of detail
Failing to convince
Inexperience
Lack of workplace value
Lack of a clear topic
Lack of a clear audience
Unsure where to publish
Fatal flaws: lack of significance, inappropriate design
Strategies for Getting Started
Start with a small manageable publication: book review, opinion letters, clinical procedures, and case
studies are considered entry way opportunities for publishing.
Start with a poster presentation: build toward presentations and manuscripts.
Write about something you are passionate about.
Write with a group.
Write with an experienced writer or mentor.
Student‐Faculty collaborations
Start with a title, work from there.
Start with your methods, work from there.
Schedule time for writing.
Review the literature, set up a table to sort, organize and synthesize.4
How to Disseminate
Poster Presentations
Poster options
Individually printed power point slides (see directions for power presentations). Cost: $
One piece power point (ppt) slide (see directions below). Cost: $$
Outsource poster to graphics designer ‐ some institutions have a graphics design team or you may
choose to hire a free‐lance graphics designer. Cost: $$$
Laminate: Advantage‐protection, Disadvantage‐glare. Cost: $
Also consider: how will you transport the poster? Will it fit in an overhead storage bin? Protective
tubes are available. Cost: $$
Content suitable for poster presentations
Smaller projects, clinical work, evidence based guidelines, research subprojects, preliminary findings,
exploratory studies, program evaluation, or phenomenological studies.
Submit an abstract
Find the right venue to present your work. Generally this will be at a nursing or specialty organization
conference.
Read the call for poster abstracts. Note deadlines, establish timeline.
Write abstract according to the call for posters.
If specified:
Use the right format.
Title should not be longer than 10 words and accurately reflect the poster content.
Use the headings suggested and include something under each heading.
If you don’t have complete results, describe what you plan to present.
Include implications for nursing practice and research as appropriate, tie back to
purpose or objectives, make it real.
Check word count.
Check spelling and grammar.
Have at least two people review it: one content expert and one good editor.
Make changes, continue to edit and review as needed.
Check word count again, edit as needed.
Follow directions for blinding.
Follow directions for submitting.
Designing your poster presentation
Read the specifications for the poster session.
A common format is the 3 panel poster where:
Panel 1: Background, problem, purpose
Panel 2: Methods or what you did
Panel 3: Findings and implications.
Keep the focus on 2‐3 key findings.5
Will poster boards be provided? What are the dimensions for the poster supposed to be? If not
specified, a 3 x 4 or 3 x 5 foot poster will fit most standard poster boards.
Plan poster layout incorporating elements from the abstract. Content should flow easily from panel to
panel, like a story.
Avoid using large amounts of text, be brief and to the point. Present key elements in an easy‐to‐read
format. Use bullets in some but not all sections.
Translate complex findings to graphs and figures.
Select design. Use contrasting colors, no more than three contrasting colors. Use color graphs.
Instructions for creating poster in power point using a PC
Open a new power point presentation, select a template or design style. One slide will be your poster.
Generally you will want to use the second slide and not the title slide.
Set proportions* for poster:
File‐page set up‐ width: set at 6 inches for every foot of poster
length: set at 6 inches for every foot of poster
For example: for 3 foot high by 4 foot long poster set width: 18 inches and length: 24 inches.
Use Zoom function on tool bar‐ increase to 50‐75% to format and decrease to 25‐30% to get full
poster view.
Set up title bar: 32 to 50 font*. Choose an easy to read font. Avoid anything too “FANCY, chunky
or scripted” to read. Use “Upper and Lower Case Lettering and NOT ALL CAPS”.
Add byline in smaller font, (size may vary with number of authors) include credentials, affiliations if
needed.
Add text boxes for content‐ To keep margins and text boxes aligned it works best to use one text box
for each column, rather than for each section of text.
Caution: Depending on the size of your text box and poster space, ppt will auto format changing your
font size‐ either disable the auto format or check font size closely.
Follow specifications for subtitles or add your own to organize‐ 24 to 28 font*, slightly larger than text,
may also use bold or underlining to set apart.
Insert text‐ keep font size > 18*.
Insert objects‐ by importing or creating in ppt.
Caution: When resizing, to avoid distortion, use crossed double arrows to resize objects and keep them
proportional. If problems with distorted objects, it may work best to re‐create them in ppt.
Add small institutional logos, sponsorship (such as grants or other paid endorsements) and
acknowledgments as appropriate.
References are generally not necessary unless specified, but do keep a list.
Check for consistency throughout‐ fonts, margins, spacing, bolding etc.
Tip: If you have spacing errors, there is probably a blank space in a larger font creating it. Change font
size to include blank and open spaces.
Proof read. Check spelling, edit.
SAVE it! Back it up.
Make a print copy: File‐page set up‐change back to letter size. Make a copy of this to print on regular
size paper. (may need to use legal paper for 3 x 5 posters)
Caution: Proportions may be off from poster. ALWAYS ask for a proof before enlargement and final
print.
From original file, enlarge x 200 to PRINT. Most copy centers will do printing and laminating, if you
don’t want to use a graphics department.
* Caution font size will vary with proportions you set.6
Presenting your poster:
Presenting a poster is a great opportunity for networking, sharing knowledge and discussing
collaborations.
Have handout copies of poster.
Have a list of references.
Don’t forget pins! Laminated posters get particularly heavy so have plenty. Some venues may use
Velcro but that should be specified.
A lint brush may be needed for the poster board.
Have business cards with your e‐mail to hand out.
Be professional and approachable.
Walk them through it, tell the story, stimulate conversation.
Find their interest in your poster, and streamline them to that information and discussion.
Stand by your poster the entire time.
Presentations
Presentation options: There is a wide range of presentation venues everything from media events, to
policy hearings, special interest groups, professional or lay conferences. The size, scope and knowledge
of the audience will vary. Although multimedia presentations are becoming common, power point
presentations are the standard media for professional presentations.
Content suitable for presentations: The content of presentations depends on the audience. Either
select the content and message to fit the audience, or select an audience to fit what you want to
present.
Submit an abstract:
Find the right venue to present your work.
Read the call for abstracts. Note deadlines.
Write abstract according to the call for presentations.
If specified:
Use the right format.
Use the headings suggested and include something under each heading.
If you don’t have complete results, describe what you plan to present.
Include implications for nursing practice and research as appropriate.
Check word count, if there are limits.
Check spelling and grammar.
Have at least two people review it: one content expert and one good editor.
Make changes, continue to edit and review as needed.
Check word count again, edit as needed.
Follow directions for blinding.
Follow directions for submitting.7
Preparing your presentation:
(Instructions for creating presentations in power point using a PC)
Read the specifications for the presentation session. Know your time limit.
Tip: A general rule of thumb is to plan for 1 slide per minute. Allow time for questions.
What equipment will be provided? Most venues will have… but you need to verify this with someone
if information is not provided. Notify them of any special needs such as an internet connection.
Open a new power point presentation, select a template or design style. Use one design style
throughout.
Create a title slide with byline, institutional logos and sponsorship (such as grants or other paid
endorsements) as appropriate.
Identify objectives or outline for presentation.
Develop content.
Tips:
There is a tendency for inexperienced presenters to try to overdo content in their
presentations. Identify the key pieces of information, don’t bombard the audience with
everything.
Vary slide setup and graphics to add interest, but not to the point where it becomes
distracting from the presentation.
Use titles to inform participant of how the slide content pertains.
Use graphs when possible. Graphs are easier to read than tables.
When adding tables, figure, or images use crossed double arrows to resize objects and
keep them proportional and avoid distortion. If problems with distorted objects, it may work
best to re‐create them in ppt.
Author names and a date should be included for direct citations or specific research
studies. Cite directly on the slide; a smaller font may be used. Complete references for cited
materials should be listed at the end and available to participants.
Keep slide font > 24 font, titles slightly larger, references may be 16 font.
Check for consistency in content and general format.
Consider using slide notes to develop oral presentation.
Conclude with implications for practice and research and future directions.
Practice presenting content for completeness, timing, and flow. Add slides to transition content if
needed.
Proof read. Check spelling, edit. Repeat.
SAVE it! Back it up.
Submit according to specifications, but always take a back up copy on a flash drive.
Consider if you want to have handouts or copies of presentation available, submit them if applicable.
Presenting:
Be prepared:
Practice, practice out loud, practice with an audience, know your content.
Take a back up copy of your presentation on a flash drive.
Arrive early, check equipment and that your presentation is loaded.
Have a list of references.
Have business cards with your e‐mail to hand out.
Be professional.
Plan for questions.8
Other Presentation Opportunities
Discussion panel: Your clinical expertise or opinions may be needed on a discussion panel. Identify your
unique contribution to the discussion. Find out how the panel will be moderated and by whom. Will you
need to make a statement and/or answer questions? Are you expected to argue and counter argue a
point? Know who else will be on the panel and what their contribution will be. Anticipate what you will
present and what you might be asked.
Journal Clubs and Seminars: This may be interdisciplinary and informal, but preparation should be
serious. Select articles of interest to the group. Prepare a brief overview including: what was previously
known, the purpose, the methods in detail, results, and implications. Then discuss strengths and
weakness of the methods, significance and interpretation of results, and what you take away from this
that can be applied to practice.
Media interviews: This is an important way to let the public know about scholarly work in nursing.
Writing a media release statement may conjure up interest in what you are doing or opinions that you
want to discuss. Ask what questions you might expect and anticipate how you will answer. You don’t
have to answer all the questions, just re‐direct the interview to the information you want to provide to
the public.
Publications
Publication options: There is a wide range of publication venues everything from general sciences to
nursing specialty journals and text, medical and other health care journals and text, lay publications,
websites, electronic journals and other web publications, political briefs, letters, opinions, lay
publications and much more. The size, scope, and knowledge of the audience will vary.
Content suitable for publications: Most any subject matter and content relevant to nursing is suitable to
some form of publication. Research studies and methodologies are most suited for scholarly research
journals. Clinical and evidence based guidelines, quality improvement, program evaluation, and
literature reviews are most often published in specialty publications. The content of publications
depends on the audience. Either select content and message to fit the audience, or select an audience
to fit what you want to disseminate.
Choose a publication: Scientific and social science journals report an “IF” or impact factor, which is a
proxy for the importance of a journal within its field, based on objective measures such as citations. The
publication you choose will depend on the message you want to convey and the audience you want to
reach. Read the journal’s scope and aims to assure a good fit.
Submit a query: See journal instructions for sending a query letter to the editors. A query should briefly
describe your subject, purpose, methods, results, and implications. Most journals do not require this,
but it may be useful in order to determine their level of interest in your topic. If there are no instructions
for queries, it is appropriate to contact the section editor by letter or e‐mail.9 Preparing your publication: (This section is specific to preparing professional publications for journals) Locate and read Guidelines for Authors. Most professional publications will have guidelines to instruct authors about appropriate content, types of articles accepted, formatting, the review process, submission process and ethical standards of the journal. Most are available either on line or in the journal. Locate the journal and find an article on a different topic, but like yours. Use this to get a feel for the journal and guide formatting as well. Set up your basic formatting and headings accordingly. Sections and headings will vary by journal. This will provide you with an outline and save you time by not having to reformat later for submission. Get organized. A clear coherent structure is important for any publication. Structure will help the reader to follow and understand the content. The structure depends on the type of articles and journal format. Most articles will have the following elements although headings may vary. Keep your page limits in mind and plan out sections. Title: The contents of the article should be conveyed in the title. The title page will also include author’s names and affiliations. Follow directions for blinded review. Abstracts: Consult the guidelines for authors for abstracts, particularly regarding headings and word limits. An abstract will concisely summarize your article. This is your chance to catch the reader’s attention and make them want to continue on to read the whole article. Top: Although your audience will read this first, it is often easiest to write the abstract when the paper is done. Conversely, some authors prefer to use the abstract to guide their writing and so they do this first. Introduction: This section is a natural progression of the background and significance of the topic. A brief problem or purpose statement should be clearly evident early in the paper. A literature review may synthesize ideas and indicate gaps in knowledge or previous publications. Conceptual or theoretical theories may be included in this section. Any specific hypotheses, questions or aims should come at the end of this section. Methods: This section is a clear description of what you did so that others could replicate it. Contents of this section and the title may vary according to what you are reporting. For research reports, this section would include: design, setting, sample, population, sampling, protection of human subjects, data collection instrument and procedures, and data analysis techniques. Other clinical reports will include some of these elements. Tip: Sometimes it is easiest to start writing in this section. Findings: This section will include your research findings, objective measures, or evaluation of what you did. Often tables and figures are used to present data here. Any data that will be discussed in the narrative should be presented here. Discussion: The discussion section is narrative, but also varies by journal. This is where you want to point out the “so what” of what you did and what new knowledge you discovered. Link findings back to the literature, conceptual or theoretical framework. Results should be further interpreted as implications for practice and research. Limitations should be discussed but not the focus. Avoid over generalizations. Finally, make recommendations for future study and development. Acknowledgements: Include others who have made contributions to the article, but do not meet the criteria for authorship. Tables, figures, appendices, and pictures: Follow formatting guidelines. Some appendices may be more suitable as online links to additional information. References: Follow directions for blinded review. Tip: Reference managers may help to organize and format. Proof read. Check spelling, edit. Repeat. SAVE it! Back it up. Submit according to the publication process.

Review, Revision, Rejection and Re‐submission Processes
Review: Peer reviewed journals will consider articles for review, send them to reviewers and then the
editor will make a decision about accepting with revisions, revisions with a second review, or rejection.
This process can take a long time. Online submission and review processes have decreased review time
and made tracking a manuscript through this process possible. Most journals will give an indication of
review time when they receive a manuscript.
Revisions: Rarely (8%) articles are accepted without at least minor revisions. Editors report accepting
66% (range 10‐100%) and rejecting 6% (range 1‐40%) after revisions. Revisions may be substantial and
turn around time may be limited. This can be overwhelming. Process the reviewer’s comments and then
address them point by point. Include a letter with resubmission of how all but minor edits were handled.
If you choose not to accept some of the edits, you must have a clear rationale described in the letter.
Follow directions and timeline for resubmission.
Rejection: Editors report rejecting 23% (range 1‐85%) of manuscripts. Having a manuscript turned
down by a publisher can be defeating. Most editors will provide the author with some feedback as to
why the article was rejected and reviewer’s comments. This constructive criticism can be difficult to
accept. Once the initial emotional response has passed, authors need to take an objective look at the
comments. Is the material worth while and salvageable? Can the comments be used to re‐craft the
article for submission to another journal? Although you can only submit an article to one journal at a
time, once it has been rejected, you can resubmit it elsewhere, but not back to the original journal.
Reference: Freda & Kearney (2005).
Other Publication Opportunities
Book reviews: Reviewing a book for a high quality journal furthers development of the nursing
profession. Book reviews may serve as an entry to publishing and provide a framework for developing
the skills needed for writing.
Electronic journals: There has been an explosion of Ejournals in response to technological advances and
demands for knowledge dissemination. Ejournals can be confused with wiki’s and other internet
resources. A peer‐reviewed electronic journal is a good entry into publishing. They are considered not as
scholarly, but are gaining respect.
Evidence‐based guidelines: There is increasing demand and funding for evidence based guidelines to be
written and disseminated. Publishing guidelines through the peer reviewed National Guideline
Clearinghouse is a one mechanism of getting evidence‐based guidelines to users.
Expert witness: Writing for publication may open other opportunities for sharing knowledge. In
litigation cases, lawyers will search for experts based on publications in the area of interest. This
opportunity can be financially rewarding.
Letters: Letters stating opinions or responding to publications may be solicited by the journal or
submitted unsolicited. Opinion should be concise but well argued. Views should be substantiated by
research and other literature.
Policy briefs: Public health administrators need to be appraised of healthcare issues and services.
Systematic reviews and executive summaries are a preferred way to concisely communicate the
evidence.11 Quality improvement articles: May be suitable for quality improvement of subspecialty journals. The structure should include: the problem, literature review, design, background and setting, key measures for improvement, strategies for change, effects of change, and next steps.

Legal and Ethical Aspects of Dissemination
Case Studies
Case 1: During a meta‐analysis assignment for the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, you
notice two articles from two different journals addressing your topic that are confusing. The
articles appear to refer to the same research study, yet some of the data differs. The authors
are the same, but the two articles list their names in a different order.
Questions:
What action do you take in your assignment? Do you ignore it and not use the information? Do
you use the information in the meta‐analysis and cite your opinion in text?
What are some acceptable explanations for this?
What type of ethical issue may this be? Is it a duplicate publication, self plagiarism, falsification,
authorship issue, or copyright issue?
Do you take any action to confirm your suspicions? Do you contact the editor of the journal?
Why or why not? What additional information is needed to make a decision?
Case 2: Martha decides to write an article about her Doctor of Nursing Practice capstone
project and submit it to a journal for publication. Martha has never written a published article
before and asks a former instructor, Mary, to be a coauthor for assistance with the process.
Mary did not participate in the capstone project but would be a great help in completing and
reviewing the manuscript.
Questions:
Should Mary be included as an author of the manuscript? Why or why not?
If Mary is not listed as an author, what strategies can Martha use to make the publishing
process a success?13
Glossary of Dissemination Legal and Ethical Terms
Anti‐plagiarism software: Detects plagiarism of words and phrases, but not ideas (Benos et al., 2005;
Handa, 2008; Rohrich & Sullivan, 2009).
Authorship: A person who has met three criteria. The three criteria include those who make significant
contributions to either the design of the study or data interpretation and analysis, those who contribute
to writing or revising of the article, and those who take responsibility for the published version (Benos et
al., 2005; Graf et al., 2007).
Citation and reference errors: Includes misspellings of author or journal names; missing or incorrect
title of the article, volume number, page numbers, or year; omissions of citations; omissions of text
citations from the reference list; listing inaccurate quotes; and citing the wrong author (Siedlecki,
Montague, & Schultz, 2008).
Coercion authorship: Occurs when a person who is inappropriate to list as an author applies pressure to
be listed as one (Feeser & Simon, 2008).
Conflict of interest: Occurs when an author fails to inform readers of the potential for bias or altered
objectivity based on individual or institutional influences (Benos et al., 2005; Roberts, 2009).
Copyright infringement: Involves the reproduction of an original work without permission of the person
who has the copyright (Library of Congress, 2010).
Duplicate publication/submission: Submitting the same article to more than one journal at the same
time or revising a previously published article and sending it to a different journal for publication
(Roberts, 2009; Wood, 2009).
Fabrication: The presentation of information that is imaginary or made up (Benos et al., 2005).
Falsification: The presentation of data that has been changed or modified to obtain an outcome that is
more desirable (Benos et al., 2005).
Ghost writing: An individual who made a significant contribution to the publication but is omitted as an
author (Feeser & Simon, 2008).
Gift or honorary authorship: The designation of authorship based on social position, professional
position, or authority rather than contribution (Feeser & Simon, 2008; Siedlecki, Montague, & Schultz,
2008).
Image manipulation: The alteration of an image after the image was taken (Roberts, 2009).
Plagiarism: Use of another person’s ideas or statements without giving the true author credit (Siedlecki,
Montague, & Schultz, 2008).14 Salami publishing: The publication of several articles involving one study when actually it could have been published as a single article (Roberts, 2009). Scientific misconduct: The use of fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in reporting the results of one’s research (Benos et al., 2005). Self‐plagiarism: The use of one’s own previously published information without telling the reader that it appeared in a previous publication (Roig, 2006). U.S. Copyright Law: Includes the protection of published or unpublished original literary works (Library of Congress, 2010).
