Objectives:

1. Identify a variety of opportunities for cooperation, collaboration and competition that may evolve from a single specialty nursing organization having multiple journal publications.
2. Describe strategies designed to optimize collaboration and cooperation and minimize competition among journals belonging to the same specialty organization.

Abstract: 

The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) may be unique among specialty nursing organizations (SNO) in providing three official journals to its membership and interested readers throughout the world. As any nursing journal editor might envision, having this largess of publications under the same roof can afford not only numerous opportunities for cooperation and collaboration, but also the potential for competition.  Join the AACN nursing journal editors at this session for a description of how all of this plays out. We will look forward to sharing our stories and to hearing the experiences and lessons learned by our colleagues affiliated with other SNOs.
