Abstract

With a view to verifying, quantifying and analyzing the use of vignettes as a strategy for data collection, the authors investigated how this strategy has been used for research data collection, in the MEDLINE and LILACS systems, in the period from 1966 to 2000. Five hundred eighty-two research works were found, 57 (9.8%) of which were published in nursing journals or contained studies about nursing professionals and/or students. Among these, 4 (7.0%) were published in the 1980s; 49 (86%) in the 1990s and 4 (7.0%) in 2000. The study proposals were: to explore attitude/behavior 20 (35.1%); to explore knowledge/attitude/behavior 14 (24.6%); to evaluate 12 (21.1%); to explore knowledge level 6 (10.5%); to conduct methodological studies 3 (5.3%) and to attribute responsibility 2 (3.5%). The prevailing theme was nursing care. The United States of America presented 34 (59.6%) publications, while the United Kingdom presented 16 (28.1%). One work was found which originated from Latin America.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
