Resources for More Information About Standardized Nursing Terminologies
NOTE: References that apply only to the individual terminologies are listed on the page for each of the ANA recognized standardized nursing terminologies.
Some of the articles listed as "closed" may be freely available if you explore more than one source. Also, all articles in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association are open access one year after publication.
Given the growing popularity of open access publishing and the appearance of "predatory publishing," or so called journals who will publish anything for a fee, journals whose articles are listed here have been checked to be sure that they are NOT on Bealls List (See List of publishers and List of Standalone Journals) of predatory journals. This list is as updated as possible. If you find anything listed here that is a product of a predatory publisher, please contact me.

These authors argued that taxonomic, combinatorial vocabularies capable of coding atomic-level nursing activities are required to effectively capture in a reproducible and reversible manner the clinical decisions and actions of nurses, and that, without such vocabularies and associated grammars, potentially important clinical process data is lost during the encoding process. This was written before the first version of the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) was released. It was, however, the second version of the ICNP before a combinatorial vocabulary was created.
