Supplementary Material for: Searching the Footprints of Pioneers on Neurology: A Bibliometric Analysis

Background: We identify the most cited articles that have influenced the clinical practices of neurologists. Methods: We first analyzed the top 100 cited articles published in 50 neurology journals with high impact factors. We collected all of the original articles on clinical neurology published in all 554 medical journals. The Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science search tools were used to identify the top 100 cited articles in the database of Journal Citation Reports since 1950, which were then manually reviewed to discover their contents. Results: In the first part of analysis, the top 100 cited articles were all published in 17 journals, with 26 articles published in Neurology. The most frequent topic subject of neurodegeneration appeared in 40 articles. The second part of the analysis revealed that the top 100 cited articles were also all published in 17 journals, with 30 articles published in New England Journal of Medicine. In contrast to the first part of the analysis, stroke was the most frequent topic subject (in 38 articles). Conclusions: Our bibliometric analysis has yielded 2 detailed lists of the top 100 cited articles that were listed separately using different methods. This approach can provide information about the trends and academic achievements in the field of clinical neurology.

研究背景：本研究旨在识别对神经科医生临床实践产生影响的高被引论文。
研究方法：本研究首先分析了50种高影响因子神经科期刊刊载的前100篇高被引论文；随后收集了554种医学期刊中刊载的所有临床神经病学原创研究论文。本研究借助科学信息研究所（Institute for Scientific Information）的Web of Science检索工具，在1950年至今的期刊引证报告（Journal Citation Reports）数据库中筛选出前100篇高被引论文，并对这些论文的内容进行人工审阅。
研究结果：第一阶段分析显示，前100篇高被引论文均发表于17种期刊，其中26篇刊载于《神经病学》（Neurology）；神经退行性疾病为最常见研究主题，涉及40篇论文。第二阶段分析则表明，前100篇高被引论文同样全部发表于17种期刊，其中30篇刊载于《新英格兰医学杂志》（New England Journal of Medicine）；与第一阶段不同的是，脑卒中为最常见研究主题，涉及38篇论文。
研究结论：本次文献计量分析通过两种不同方法分别生成了两份详尽的前100篇高被引论文清单；该研究方法可为临床神经病学领域的研究趋势与学术进展提供参考依据。
