Blood Cells. 1981;7(3):447-80.
A review of the earliest publications and letters of the scientists who have received credit for the first description of red cells illustrates the philosophical and practical difficulties of assigning priorities for discoveries. A knowledge of the scientific and cultural ambience of the day, of reports of scientific contemporaries or predecessors, both partisans and adversaries, and other background information illustrates how the consensus in crediting the discovery originated. However, the broader question remains: what are the proper criteria for assigning priority of discovery, yesterday, today and tomorrow?
回顾那些因首次描述红细胞而获得赞誉的科学家们最早的出版物和信件，可以看出在确定发现的优先权方面存在哲学和实际困难。了解当时的科学和文化氛围、科学同时代人或前辈（包括支持者和反对者）的报告以及其他背景信息，就能明白在认定这一发现时的共识是如何形成的。然而，更广泛的问题依然存在：在昨天、今天和明天，确定发现优先权的恰当标准是什么？
