title: Successful publishing in nursing: debunking some common myths.
abstract: Myths can serve useful functions for a group or society. The myths related to success in publishing, however, do not seem to serve a useful function, and may operate as barriers or excuses that unnecessarily hinder success in publishing. In this article, some of the common myths associated with publishing in nursing are examined for their validity and for evidence of support for the myth in the literature.
