The authors examined current research trends in neuropsychiatry by analyzing original research studies published since the new millennium. A total of 14,587 articles published between 2000 and 2013 were systematically screened from 10 neuropsychiatry journals, which were selected based on impact factor ranking. Clinical studies accounted for the highest proportion of neuropsychiatry research articles published since the new millennium (N=5,097; 68.9%), followed by laboratory studies (N=1,824; 24.7%) and service evaluation, classification, and historical studies (N=474; 6.4%). This study confirms that neuropsychiatry is a quintessentially clinical discipline with a continuing focus on phenomenological aspects, possibly reflecting the centrality of clinical observations to the diagnostic process.
作者们通过分析自新千年以来发表的原创性研究，考察了神经精神病学当前的研究趋势。从1 根据影响因子排名挑选出的10种神经精神病学期刊中，系统筛选出了2000年至2013年间发表的总计14587篇文章。临床研究在自新千年以来发表的神经精神病学研究文章中占比最高（N = 5097；68.9%），其次是实验室研究（N = 1824；24.7%）以及服务评估、分类和历史研究（N = 474；6.4%）。这项研究证实，神经精神病学是一门典型的临床学科，持续关注现象学方面，这可能反映出临床观察在诊断过程中的核心地位。
