This project sought to identify characteristics and lasting contributions of 19th-century members of the American Neurological Association (ANA). Members were categorized by elite status, citation frequency, founder or charter member, elected to honorary membership, published a monograph on a neurologic or psychiatric topic, born in the United States or Canada, and received any medical training outside the United States or Canada. Citations to 19th-century publications in Science Citation Index were analyzed for the period 1974-1995. ANA membership was restrictive, but membership nevertheless increased dramatically in the first 25 years from its founding in 1875. 19th-century ANA members frequently served in a leadership capacity within the organization, published neurologic or psychiatric monographs, and received medical training abroad. Highly cited members were more likely to be instrumental in founding and developing the organization, and were likely to be recognized by their contemporaries as eminent. 19th-century ANA members made significant and lasting contributions in many areas of neurology and psychiatry. Articles with lasting relevance were early descriptions, points of comparison, and controversial articles.
该项目旨在确定19世纪美国神经学会（ANA）成员的特点和持久贡献。成员按精英地位、被引用频率、创始人或特许成员、当选荣誉成员、出版过关于神经学或精神病学主题的专著、出生于美国或加拿大以及在美国或加拿大境外接受过任何医学培训进行分类。对1974年至1995年期间《科学引文索引》中19世纪出版物的引用情况进行了分析。ANA的会员资格有严格限制，但从1875年成立后的头25年里，会员人数仍大幅增加。19世纪的ANA成员经常在该组织中担任领导职务，出版神经学或精神病学专著，并在国外接受医学培训。被高度引用的成员更有可能在该组织的创立和发展中发挥重要作用，并且很可能被同时代人视为杰出人物。19世纪的ANA成员在神经学和精神病学的许多领域都做出了重大而持久的贡献。具有持久相关性的文章包括早期描述、比较要点和有争议的文章。
