Nursing Journals
This page groups approved journals assigned to Nursing within the broader Medicine classification used by Journals Impact Factors.
Because citation practices differ by specialty, this narrower grouping can be more useful than comparing journals across an entire broad discipline. The classification is internal and is not an official JCR category.
