JJNS Seminar Improving Your Success at Publishing in English 2024
The Challenges of International Collaborative Research

Since 2006, the Editorial Board of the Japan Journal of Nursing Science (JJNS), an English-language journal of the Japan Academy of Nursing Science (JANS), has been holding JJNS seminars to support researchers who wish to submit their work to international journals, not limited to JJNS.

This year's seminar will be delivered online with the goal of deepening understanding of how to conduct effective international collaborative research with a view to submitting to international journals. Delivery will begin at noon on Monday, December 16, 2024 and end on Friday, January 31, 2025.

The seminar will consist of five sessions where participants will learn how to establish international research networks and collaborations through practical information and best practices. For details of each session, please see below.

There is no charge for members to attend the seminar. We hope you will be willing to watch.

If you have any questions or comments about the content of the lecture, please send them to us in the questionnaire that will be administered after the seminar. We will reply to them in a summary on the "Questions and Answers to Seminar Speakers" page at a later date.

The program will be delivered in English, but you can watch it as many times as you like during the term, so we hope you will be able to learn at your own pace.

Let's take the first step toward international collaborative research together at this seminar!

Presentation 1
Introduction of International Collaborative Study with the University of Washington (UW)

Initially, I would like to introduce overall international collaborative studies that I conducted so far. "Factors related to mental health effect among nursing students in Japan and the United States during the coronavirus pandemic: A cross -We collected data of nursing students from four universities in Japan and a We collected data of nursing students from four universities in Japan and a university in the United States, and compared their mental health during COVID-19. We found the important role of perceived control and some cultural differences potentially related to nursing students' mental health. I will talk about how we started the study, the predetermined rules we made among the co-researchers, the difficulties we encountered, and highlights and lowlights. I also hope to be able to give some useful advice for Japanese researchers planning future international collaborative studies.

I will outline the overview of the international collaborative research studies, that I have conducted. titled "The Online Workshop between Japan and Thailand to Change Travel Behaviors on a Thai University Campus," which subsequently developed into a larger research project published in the Journal of Transport & Health (Vol. 22, Article 101208). Data were collected from Khon Kaen University in Thailand, where we implemented an online workshop involving interdisciplinary students from both Khon This workshop aimed to influence and examine students' travel behaviors on campus.

When conducting collaborative international research, cultural, linguistic, and systemic differences must be considered, and consensus-building among researchers is required at each stage of the process. This session shows how we facilitated the research, what we paid attention to when presenting the results and discussions, and what we tried This session shows how we facilitated the research, what we paid attention to when presenting the results and discussions, and what we tried to devise to promote international research smoothly based on our experiences and comparisons with domestic research.
