                           Your scholarly work, related to Imogene King's work, is needed to be
                                 submitted to the Virginia Henderson Global Nursing e-repository

(NOTE: If you plan to submit something to the e-repository, please contact Diana Newman at dianamary41@comcast.net so that she can facilitate the process. NOTE FROM DR. NEWMAN: This is just a reminder that any items submitted to me for the Virginia Henderson Library (VHL) repository must not have copyright issues, that is, they should not have been published before they are submitted to VHL. VHL cannot violate copyrights held by other entities.)


The King International Nursing Group has just established an Events collection on the Virginia Henderson Global Nursing e-repository so that abstracts and slides from our biannual conferences can be included on the e-repository.


We are also hoping to establish another collection, associated with the K.I.N.G., that would include all documents/scholarly efforts that use Imogene King's work and related theories. As a result, I am writing to encourage you, your colleagues and any nursing students to consider submitting their work to this e-repository. It is a wonderful way to, without cost, disseminate one's work globally. Submission can include, but are not limited to: 

Pre-print article* (The draft of an article that has been submitted to a journal, but not peer-reviewed or edited.)

Post-print article* (The version of an article that has been submitted to a journal, peer-reviewed and edited.)
As-published article* (The version that appears in the print and/or online journal.)

Dissertation

DNP capstone project/paper

Thesis

Class Project

Committee Report

Research Study Report

Dataset (raw data from survey results, etc.)**

Faculty Created Learning Objects

Presentation Papers and/or Slides

* Authors are responsible for determining the version allowed for deposit by the publisher/journal prior to submitting it to the Henderson e-repository. See the Sherpa/RoMeo database.

** All data must be scrubbed of personal information prior to submission."

(Sigma Theta Tau International, 2017, FAQs. Retrieved from http://www.nursinglibrary.org/vh1/pages/FAQ.html)

The following is a link to their author information page  (Author Assistant Page: http://www.nursinglibrary.org/vhl/pages/Author_Info.html). Please remind them to add"King International Nursing Group" to the description field during the submission process so that they may be identified from other submissions. Once 100 submissions have been approved and posted, we could work on having them copied to a separate K.I.N.G. collection.


Thank you so much for your help in disseminating nurses' work related to the work of Dr. King.


Please let me know if you have any questions (sieloffc@hotmail.com).

Welcome to the King International Nursing Group!

 

Founded by colleagues of Dr. King in Michigan, the King International Nursing Group (K.I.N.G.) preserves, promotes, and advances King’s work in nursing knowledge development. Using her systems theory intertwined with research, we strive to improve all aspects of nursing education, administration and practice.

 

Since reactivation, the King International Nursing Group has held nursing research conferences in odd numbered years. These conferences are scheduled just prior to the November Sigma Theta Tau International research conference so that members can attend both K.I.N.G. and STTI without additional travel. The K.I.N.G. conference solicits abstracts for scholarship related to nursing theory, primary scholarship related to Imogene King's work. Most recently, conferences have included both in-person and ZOOM presentations and attendance. 

Regardless of your location or area of practice, we encourage you to join the K.I.N.G. and become active within the organization. We are currently looking for members to volunteer for the following committees: Education, Membership and Nomination Committees.

 

We hope that you will visit this website frequently for information, suggestions and networking. Please feel free to share the link to the home page with your colleagues. If you have suggestions for how we might improve the web page, please do not hesitate to contact us.
