Publishing the DNP Project: An Evidence-Based Approach

Publishing the DNP Project: An Evidence-Based Approach provides readers with evidence-based, neuro-educationally supported strategies for the development of DNP publishing competencies. Recognizing that mentoring DNP students in scholarly publication is an important part of the academic faculty role, the text equips readers with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively guide students through the dissemination of their clinically focused DNP projects. In supporting the publication of these results, faculty and students alike contribute leadership and essential research that can lead to improved practice and healthcare outcomes.

The book helps readers create an environment that supports students' writing skills and provides them with ample, strategic writing opportunities. It outlines evidence-based approaches for development, including self-assessment of scholarly writing, guidance in peer reviewing, understanding publishing ground rules, developing a consultation network, and learning to imagine the possibilities for the publication of DNP projects and new translational research. The book includes content examples, application exercises, and an unfolding case study that follows a novice DNP faculty member through each step of the mentorship process.

Publishing the DNP Project is ideal for faculty members who are mentoring students through DNP projects and for DNP students and clinicians interested in publishing their scholarly work.
