Introduction: Citation analysis studies the use of citations found in various types of publications, including the use of government information, and can provide insight into research utilisation in nursing literature. Method: Using citation analysis, this study examines the use, prevalence and jurisdiction of government information use among seven nursing research journals based on ranking criteria. Government information citations were identified across three types of articles: editorials, reviews and research articles. Results: Nearly two-thirds of the articles in this study cite some form of government information, and the average percentage of government citations is 5.38 of all citations. Government information was identified from national governments, inter-governmental organizations and state and regional governments. Discussion: Understanding the use, prevalence and jurisdiction of government information informs health information professionals allowing them to engage with nursing students and researchers about this important type of information and the types of articles that use government information. Conclusion: Nursing researchers frequently cite government information in their work. This has implications for librarians, nursing researchers and health professionals. Understanding the intersection of government information and nursing research should inform future practice in evidence-based nursing research and nursing education.

Practice-based research (PBR) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional models of academia-practice collaborations, aiming to integrate scientific inquiry with practical interventions. However, the lack of a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary understanding of PBR has obstructed its recognition and led to inadequate evaluation frameworks. To address this gap, this study conducted a bibliometric analysis across the Social Sciences and Humanities disciplines to explore trends in PBR adoption and publication. Analyzing 3,417 documents from the Web of Science, it examined PBR research trends and utilized bibliometric mapping to identify thematic research clusters and historical evolution patterns. The findings revealed a growing interest in PBR, likely influenced by a focus on societal impact and educational reforms, such as the integration of vocational education into academic structures. It emphasized the need for cross-disciplinary exploration of PBR, shedding light on its diverse approaches and providing a systematic, data-driven perspective beyond theoretical frameworks.

Background: Community integration (CI) is the ultimate goal of rehabilitation for individuals with disabilities. It plays a significant role in restoring their social functioning and facilitating their reintegration into community and family life. However, no studies have utilized bibliometric methods to explore community integration. Objective: To conduct a review about community integration of disabilities and to clarify the knowledge, hotspots, and trends through the bibliometric method. Methods: Studies on community integration from 1990 to 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). CiteSpace 6.2.R4 and Microsoft Office Excel 2019 were applied. The CiteSpace node types involved in this study include keyword, reference, cited author, cited Journal, and the dual-map overlay of journals. CiteSpace presented the keyword cluster map, keywords timeline view map, keywords bursts map, and overlay map of journals. Microsoft Office Excel 2019 was used to present the trend of annual publications and draw up related tables and figures. Results: A total of 2239 hits were included. The number of publications related to community integration is increasing gradually. The three most frequent keywords is Brain Injury (571, 13%), Individuals (488, 11%), Quality of Life (434, 10%). Keyword cluster map and timeline map with eight clusters were obtained, and the current strongest citation burst keywords are social participation, substance use, experiences, interventions, and Afghanistan. Willer is the author with the most citations. McColl has the largest centrality in the first ten cited authors. The most cited reference is published by the World Health Organization (WHO). Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is the journal with the highest co-citation frequency. The overlay map of journals presented four distinct paths: the journals in “psychology education, health” and “neurology, sports, ophthalmology” often cite journals in “health, nursing, medicine” and “psychology, education, social”. Conclusion: Community integration for individuals with disabilities is gradually becoming a hot topic. Research on community integration related to traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, children, and spinal cord injuries is current focus of community integration. Future research should explore the experiences and feelings of different groups of disabilities regarding community integration and develop more effective interventions for their community integration. Community integration is complex, and future research on community integration for individuals with disabilities needs to be explored more specifically.
