Restor Neurol Neurosci. 2009;27(6):579-87. doi: 10.3233/RNN-2009-0545.
The journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience (RNN) now celebrates its 20th anniversary. Since 1989 RNN has published scientific findings in the emerging fields of brain plasticity, repair and rehabilitation via original scientific publications and review papers in basic research (animal experiments, in vitro studies) and clinical science. During the last decade RNN had a steady progress in reference value and scientific impact, reaching an ISI-impact factor of 1.978 (2008) and has published a total of 717 papers. The journal's success can be explained by different factors: (1) neuroplasticity, regeneration, recovery and rehabilitation have developed to main stream subjects with a worldwide increase in the number of publications and their citation rate, (2) RNN has published numerous special issues which summarize the work of leading experts in specialized sub-fields, (3) a dedicated, highly qualified editorial board (4) the quality of papers submitted to RNN has increased over time. RNN has now become a visible and leading source of original scientific information in the space of brain plasticity, rehabilitation and repair.
《修复神经科学与神经学杂志》(RNN)现已迎来创刊 20 周年。自 1989 年以来,RNN 通过基础研究(动物实验、体外研究)和临床科学领域的原始科研出版物和综述论文,发表了有关大脑可塑性、修复和康复的新兴领域的科研成果。在过去十年中,RNN 的参考价值和科学影响力稳步提升,影响因子达到 1.978(2008 年),共发表了 717 篇论文。该期刊的成功可以归因于以下几个因素:(1)神经可塑性、再生、恢复和康复已成为主流学科,相关出版物数量及其被引率在全球范围内不断增加;(2)RNN 发表了许多特刊,总结了专业领域专家的工作;(3)一个专注且高素质的编委会;(4)RNN 收到的投稿质量也随着时间的推移而提高。RNN 现已成为大脑可塑性、康复和修复领域原始科学信息的重要来源。
