Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery is an Amsterdam title published by Elsevier and devoted to the clinical aspects of neurology and neurosurgery, an international forum for work of high scientific standard addressed to neurologists and neurosurgeons everywhere. The present title dates from 1974 and inherits its volume numbering from a Dutch-language predecessor, which is why the first issue under this name is volume 77. Cerebrovascular disease, tumours, epilepsy, headache, spinal disorders and the care that follows surgery all sit inside its remit, together with imaging and outcome research written for practice. The 2025 Journal Impact Factor stands at 1.9, with a Q3 place among 296 clinical neurology journals and a Q2 place among 321 surgery journals.《临床神经病学与神经外科》由 Elsevier 在阿姆斯特丹出版，专攻神经病学与神经外科的临床层面，自我定位为面向世界各地神经内科医师与神经外科医师的高水准国际论坛。现名始于 1974 年，卷号承自一份荷兰语前刊，因此改名后的首期已是第 77 卷。脑血管病，肿瘤，癫痫，头痛，脊柱疾患与术后处置都在其范围之内，面向实践的影像学与结局研究同样在列。2025 年期刊影响因子为 1.9，在 296 种临床神经病学期刊中列 Q3，在 321 种外科期刊中列 Q2。

Scope

• Cerebrovascular practice occupies a central place, and papers on acute ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, unruptured aneurysms and cerebral venous thrombosis appear side by side.脑血管病实践居于核心位置，急性缺血性卒中，脑出血，未破裂动脉瘤与脑静脉窦血栓形成的论文并列出现。

• Surgical and endovascular technique counts as a subject in its own right, from stent retrieval for distal occlusions to flow diversion, shunt placement and haematoma evacuation.手术与血管内技术本身即成专题，远端闭塞的支架取栓，血流导向装置，分流管置入与血肿清除都在收录之列。

• Tumours of the brain and spine form a second block, covering glioma resection, brain metastases, pituitary lesions, chordoma and cavernous malformations.脑与脊柱肿瘤构成第二块内容，涉及胶质瘤切除，脑转移瘤，垂体病变，脊索瘤与海绵状血管畸形。

• Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and the other movement disorders are handled medically and surgically, and deep brain stimulation for psychiatric indications falls inside the same remit.癫痫，帕金森病，特发性震颤与其他运动障碍的内科与外科处理均在范围内，用于精神科适应证的脑深部电刺激同样收列。

• Headache and facial pain hold a steady place, with migraine prevention, cluster headache, occipital nerve blockade and trigeminal autonomic features among the recurring themes.头痛与面部疼痛占有固定版面，偏头痛预防，丛集性头痛，枕大神经阻滞与三叉自主神经症状是反复出现的主题。

• Neuro-infection and neuro-immunology are read as clinical matters, so reports on neurocysticercosis, autoimmune encephalitis, myasthenia gravis and pachymeningitis are in order.神经感染与神经免疫被当作临床问题处理，脑囊虫病，自身免疫性脑炎，重症肌无力与肥厚性硬脑膜炎的报道都属对题。

• Spinal practice runs across the whole span of the field, from lumbar stenosis and thoracic disc herniation to voiding function after decompression.脊柱诊疗贯穿该领域，腰椎管狭窄，胸椎间盘突出与减压术后的排尿功能都已有文章写过。

• Consciousness testing, cognitive impairment, ataxia and the degenerative diseases attract case series as readily as cohort work.意识评估，认知障碍，共济失调与变性病既吸引病例系列，也吸引队列研究。

• Neurotrauma is covered from concussion and repeated head injury through to open skull fractures and the complications of escalated intensive care.神经创伤的报道从脑震荡与反复头部外伤延伸到开放性颅骨骨折，以及重症治疗升级后的并发症。

• Recovery and supportive care belong to the remit, including swallowing screening, nutritional support, gait measurement and the resumption of oral intake after stroke.康复与支持治疗在范围之内，吞咽筛查，营养支持，步态测定与卒中后经口进食的恢复都有人投稿。

• Diagnostic method is a standing interest, with magnetic resonance imaging, CT perfusion, transcranial Doppler and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers used as the instruments of the argument.诊断方法是一项持续的兴趣，磁共振成像，CT 灌注，经颅多普勒与脑脊液生物标志物常被用作论证的工具。

• Quantitative work is welcomed while the clinical question stays in front, so machine-learning prediction models, Mendelian randomisation studies, registry analyses and meta-analyses all appear.定量研究只要临床问题仍在前台就受青睐，机器学习预测模型，孟德尔随机化研究，登记库分析与荟萃分析均可见到。

• Research on training and on service delivery is also published, on topics such as residency applications, authorship order and the output of future neurosurgeons.培训与医疗体系方向的研究同样刊发，住院医师申请、署名顺序与后备神经外科医师的科研产出都在选题之内。

• The scope statement names the material it carries, and proceedings or reports of the scientific meetings of The Netherlands Society of Neurology and The Netherlands Society of Neurosurgery are listed among it.征稿说明列明所载材料，荷兰神经病学学会与荷兰神经外科学会学术会议的会议录和报道亦在其中。

• Short clinical observations keep a place of their own, unusual syndromes being reported as case histories with a stated floor of three printed pages, illustrations and tables excluded.简短的临床观察保有自己的位置，不寻常的综合征以病例报告形式刊出，篇幅下限为三页印刷页，图表不计在内。

History

• The journal in its present form began in 1974, and the National Library of Medicine record puts the start of its MEDLINE coverage at volume 77 issue 1, September 1974.现今形态的刊物始于 1974 年，美国国家医学图书馆的记录把 MEDLINE 收录起点定在第 77 卷第 1 期，即当年 9 月。

• That volume number was no accident, because the same entry states that the title continues in part the Dutch-language journal Psychiatria, Neurologia, Neurochirurgia, and the counting carried over with the name.这个卷号并非偶然，同一记录写明本刊部分承接荷兰语刊物《Psychiatria，Neurologia，Neurochirurgia》，改名时卷数计数一并接续过来。

• An English title took the place of a Dutch one at the moment the journal began to describe itself as a forum for neurologists and neurosurgeons world-wide.英文刊名取代荷兰文刊名的同时，刊物也开始把自己描述为面向世界各地神经内科与神经外科医师的论坛。

• The earliest issues appeared at Assen under the house of Van Gorcum, a Dutch academic publisher, before the imprint passed to Elsevier in Amsterdam.最早的各期由荷兰学术出版社 Van Gorcum 在阿森印行，此后出版地点转到阿姆斯特丹的 Elsevier。

• Both imprints sit in one bibliographic record, the Van Gorcum line marked as the former arrangement and the Elsevier line as the current one.两个出版地点同处一条书目记录，Van Gorcum 一行标作旧时安排，Elsevier 一行标作现行安排。

• Under the older arrangement a year carried few volumes, and the counting turned monthly only toward the close of the 2010s.旧制下每个年度所出卷数寥寥，卷号改为逐月推进迟至 2010 年代末才落地。

• Crossref listings show twelve volumes for each year from 2019 to 2025, running 176 to 187 in 2019 and 248 to 259 in 2025, with articles paginated inside a volume instead of split into numbered issues.Crossref 清单显示 2019 至 2025 年每年各出 12 卷，2019 年为第 176 至 187 卷，2025 年为第 248 至 259 卷，论文在卷内连续排页而不单列期号。

• The National Library of Medicine still carries the older quarterly designation, a residue of the print schedule that stood behind the present monthly numbering.美国国家医学图书馆仍沿用较旧的季刊标注，那是现行逐月卷号背后旧印刷排期留下的残余。

• Coverage has run without a break since the first numbered issue, and the same entry names Index Medicus, the printed bibliography that preceded MEDLINE, among the sources that took the journal.自起始各期起收录从未中断，同一记录还把 MEDLINE 之前的印刷书目 Index Medicus 列为收录来源之一。

• The subscription model stayed in place for decades, while the optional route to gold open access widened, the 2025 profile putting gold articles at 16.68 per cent of output.订阅模式维持了数十年，转为金色开放获取的自选通道近年拓宽，2025 年的记录把金色开放论文占比定为 16.68%。

• Impact has moved within a narrow band, 1.885 in 2022, 1.8 in 2023 and 1.6 in 2024, before a recovery to 1.9 in 2025.影响因子在窄幅内摆动，2022 年 1.885，2023 年 1.8，2024 年 1.6，2025 年回升到 1.9。

• The 2025 edition of the Journal Citation Reports counts 331 documents and 10148 citations, gives a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.64 and puts the cited half-life at 6.3 years.2025 年版期刊引证报告记有 331 篇文献与 10148 次引用，期刊引文指标为 0.64，被引半衰期 6.3 年。

• Two categories frame the standing, clinical neurology at 201 of 296 within Q3 and surgery at 145 of 321 within Q2, while the short MEDLINE title Clin Neurol Neurosurg has run unchanged since the first volume.其位置由两个类目框定，临床神经病学在 296 种期刊中列第 201 位属 Q3，外科在 321 种期刊中列第 145 位属 Q2，简短刊名 Clin Neurol Neurosurg 自首卷起未曾改动。

• The two identifiers were registered early in the electronic era, 0303-8467 for the paper volume and 1872-6968 for the edition that the ScienceDirect platform of Elsevier now hosts.两个标识号在电子化早期即已登记，纸本卷为 0303-8467，电子版为 1872-6968，后者现由 Elsevier 的 ScienceDirect 平台承载。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is (Florian Roser), whose base is the Neurological Institute of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.主编为（Florian Roser），其工作基地在阿布扎比克利夫兰诊所的神经学研究所。

• He is a neurosurgeon by training with a fellowship in spine surgery, and his own research has dealt with meningioma biology and with the diagnostics of neurological disease.他受的是神经外科训练，持有脊柱外科的专科培训资格，本人的研究涉及脑膜瘤生物学与神经疾病的诊断。

• An editor of that background matches a title that insists on a broad international perspective, and he carries an associate editorship at a neurosurgical journal of the same publisher.这样的主编背景契合刊物坚持的广泛国际视野，他同时在同一家出版商的一份神经外科期刊担任副编辑。

• Manuscripts reach the editorial office through the electronic system that Editorial Manager runs for the title under the short code (cnn).稿件经 Editorial Manager 为刊物运行的电子系统送达编辑部，该系统使用的短代号为（cnn）。

• Full-length original articles are the backbone of every volume, the scope treating them as papers written for the purpose of the journal rather than for one isolated finding.完整的原创论文是每一卷的骨架，征稿说明把它们视为服务于刊物宗旨的文章，服务于个别发现的材料另作安排。

• Reviews and the shorter progress pieces are listed apart from original work, the latter category reserved for new developments in clinical neurology and neurosurgery.综述与篇幅较短的进展述评同原创论文分列，后者专门留给临床神经病学与神经外科的新近发展。

• Special articles come from invited authors, so the editorial office commissions part of what a volume contains.特稿出自受邀作者，编辑部因此主动约稿，约来的稿件构成各卷内容的一部分。

• Comment on work already published travels as letters to the editor, and correspondence on a particular article is printed under its own heading.对已刊成果的评论以致编辑信的形式刊出，针对某篇具体文章的通信单列标题发表。

• A book review section stands beside the research material, one of the older conventions the title has preserved.书评板块与研究论文并列，是该刊保留下来的旧例之一。

• Meeting reports of the two Dutch societies reach the pages through the editorial office, a channel that keeps the journal tied to Dutch neurology and neurosurgery while its chair sits in the Gulf.荷兰两个学会的会议报道经编辑部刊出，这条通道使刊物与荷兰的神经病学及神经外科保持牵连，其主编席位此时设在波斯湾沿岸。
