Integrating global perspectives in scholarly publications is essential to address diverse healthcare needs, promote culturally competent care, and share best practices across borders. International collaborations facilitate knowledge exchange and improve clinical practices, which are vital for the progress of global nursing. Cross-regional collaborations can leverage strengths and address shared challenges. However, significant challenges in publishing global nursing research exist, including funding limitations, language barriers, and publication biases. Strategic recommendations to overcome publication barriers include increased funding, language support, and inclusive publication practices. Open-access publishing and capacity strengthening for researchers in underrepresented regions, and technological advancements for collaboration further enrich global nursing research, thereby increasing global scholarly publications. The purpose of this presentation is to identify ways to promote global scholarly publications that can enhance global nursing research, inspire efforts to overcome regional publication barriers and leverage global partnerships to advance nursing.
