This milestone reflects the continued growth and impact of research across the Faculty. Our research is not only contributing to the evidence base for nursing and midwifery, but is increasingly reaching and influencing audiences nationally and internationally.
63% of Faculty publications are currently available through Open Access, helping to make our research accessible to researchers, practitioners and policymakers worldwide.
Even more significantly, almost 20% of our publications from 2020–2025 ranked among the top 10% most cited publications worldwide – a strong indicator of the growing international reach and impact of research from the Faculty.
We’re proud of the Faculty researchers, academic teams and collaborators whose work is contributing to this success, and grateful to the RCSI Repository team for helping to make our research visible, accessible and discoverable worldwide.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening research excellence and ensuring that the Faculty’s research continues to make a meaningful contribution to nursing, midwifery and healthcare.
