title: Perceived barriers to getting published: results of the JANAC survey.
abstract: In order to identify strategies to promote the publication of ANAC members' knowledge and expertise, the authors conducted a survey of JANAC readers. Twenty-four respondents, almost all clinicians, identified 25 areas of interest they want to develop for publication. Barriers to getting published fell into four categories: lack of time, writing skills, self-confidence, and motivation or ideas. Suggestions for facilitating scholarship focused mainly on collaboration with writing experts and learning through educational workshops. The results of this study can serve as a guide in the development of services to readers interested in their own development as scholars.
