The NYS e-Repository for Nursing Scholarly Works© (e-repository) is an electronic directory of research (published and unpublished), evidence-based practice projects, and other quality improvement projects (such as poster presentations, dissertations, white papers, etc.) that have been done by nurses/nursing students living and/or working/attending school in New York State.

The three primary purposes of the e-repository include:

1. To provide a centralized location for individuals to access information about research and related projects done by nurses/nursing students in NYS;
2. To facilitate communication and collaboration among nurse researchers, health care agencies, academic institutions and direct care nurses engaged in research and/or evidence-based practice;
3. To provide an avenue to highlight the research and related projects done by NYS nurses

As part of the Center for Nursing Research strategic plan, the e-repository was developed to recognize the effort of many nurses in New York State who are engaged in research, promote and improve the networking capacity of the sharing of information, and enable opportunities for mentoring and support for one another.  This resource will contain research studies as well as evidence-based practice (EBP) projects that will be searchable on the site providing the individual seeking information contact information for the author(s) as well as the citations for published work.
