The Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry has been published for 40 years since 1955, and over the past 40 years, it has been an objective record and a milestone for the development of neuropsychiatry in China; it has also been a high-level professional academic journal in the field of neuropsychiatry in China, which disseminates scientific information, records scientific research results, develops intellectual resources, and promotes the growth of human resources, and makes important contributions to the promotion of the development of neuropsychiatry in China. It has made important contributions to the development of neuropsychiatry in China. Reviewing the course of 40 years and summarizing the experience will make the direction of future efforts clearer and play a greater role. Time: (1955-1966)
Before liberation, the cause of neuropsychiatry was not emphasized by the government at that time, and there were few professional institutions. As a result, only a few people were engaged in this specialty, and neuropsychiatry became a weak link in China's medical science. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party and the government pay special attention to the suffering and health of the people, neuropsychiatry gradually developed, and in August 1951 established the Chinese Medical Association of Neuropsychiatry, during this period there are a small number of neuropsychiatry published in the "Chinese Medical Journal" and the "Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine". With the development of neuropsychiatry and the growth of the professional team, neuropsychiatry workers are eager to change the backwardness of our country with full enthusiasm, they are eager to obtain new knowledge, new theories, new skills, and constantly improve the level of medical care to better protect the people's health. In order to meet the needs of this situation, at the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Neuropsychiatry Society of the Chinese Medical Association held in July 1954, it was decided to create a specialized publication on neuropsychiatry in China, the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry. Subsequently, the first editorial board of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry was formed with Xu Yingkui as the chief editor, Feng Yingkun, Wu Zhengyi, Wang Yuzeng, and Zhang Yuanchang as the deputy chief editors, and Mu Huaizhu as the full-time editor. After the active preparation of all the editorial committee and full-time staff, the first issue of
The policy of the journal is to take neuropsychiatrists as the main readers, carry out the policy of health work, combine popularization and improvement, popularize the knowledge of the diseases which endanger the people's health, such as cerebrovascular disease, neurological tumors, epilepsy, neurosis, schizophrenia and other diseases, and the method of preventing and treating them, and the research experience, and ask the medical research to combine with the practice closely, so as to better serve for the construction of the production.
Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry was founded at the beginning of the editorial office of the Chinese Medical Association in Beijing Dongdan Sanjiao Hutong, and moved to the newly built office building of the Chinese Medical Association in Dongsi Street, Beijing, in 1957. At the beginning of the founding of the journal, the editorial board meetings were held in the office of Prof. Xu Yingkui and Prof. Feng Yingkun of the Department of Neurology of the Union Medical College Hospital, and the participants often included Xu Yingkui, Feng Yingkun, Wei Yulin, Zhao Baoshun, Wang Zhiyuan, Mu Huaizhu, etc. The participants often included Xu Yingkui and Feng Yingkun, Wei Yulin, Zhao Baoshun, Wang Zhiyuan and Mu Huaizhu. In the 1960s, the meeting was transferred to the conference room of the Chinese Medical Association, with the participation of Xu Yingkui, Feng Yingkun, Huang Kewei, Zhao Baoshun, Wang Zhiyuan, Tan Mingxun, Wu Zhengyi, Shen Yuquan, Xu Di, Chen Xueshi, Wang Zhongzhong, Zhang Jizhi, etc. In the 1950s and 1960s, the meeting was held in the office of Prof. Xu Yingkui in Beijing. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Editorial Committee in Beijing often met on Sundays or in the evenings. At that time, editorial board members Zhao Baoxun, Tan Mingxun, Wang Zhiyuan, Chen Xueshi, and Zhang Jizhi often came to the Society to help process manuscripts and write editor's notes. Zhang Yuanchang, Xia Zhenyi, Tao Guotai, Yu Qinghan and other foreign editorial board members were also very concerned about the work of the magazine and helped to organize the manuscripts.
In June 1958, a national conference on the prevention and treatment of mental illness was held in Nanjing. The conference decided to implement a three-tier management system for psychiatric patients, with the three departments of health, public security and civil affairs forming a leading group for the prevention and treatment of mental illness and organizing its implementation; and advocated the open management of psychiatric patients, i.e., not to close or lock up psychiatric patients in the wards. This conference played a great role in promoting the development of psychiatry in China. The collaboration of various regions through various departments has been effective, among which Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Tianjin, Hangzhou and Suzhou have done a better job. For example, Shanghai has set up a leading group for the prevention and treatment of mental illness, and has set up a number of psychiatric laboratories, which has reduced the relapse rate of mental illness by more than 3/4. The number of people going out to hurt and destroy things has also been greatly reduced. The summary of this meeting and the experience of the work carried out in various places after the meeting were reported in the journal from the 4th issue of 1958 onwards, and were welcomed by the readers.
Since 1959, the journal has been published as a bimonthly, with 84 pages in the first issue and 68 pages in each subsequent issue. From 1959, it began to publish an English table of contents, and from the third issue of 1959, it published English summaries of the main treatises.
On June 4, 1960, according to the notice of the higher authorities, the journal was suspended together with all the journals run by the Medical Association to check the problems of pomposity, leakage of information and "revisionism", as well as paper difficulties and other reasons. After the country's economic situation improved in 1963, the second editorial board of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry was reelected with Xu Yingkui as the editor-in-chief, and Feng Yingkun, Wu Zhengyi, Wang Yuzeng, Zhang Yuanchang, and Chen Xueshi as the deputy editors-in-chief, with the addition of eleven new and strong editorial board members. The full-time editor was still Mu Huaizhu, and Chen Xiuhua was added in 1965. After active planning, the journal resumed publication on May 25, 1963, as a quarterly journal with 84 pages per issue. And changed to be published by the Chinese Medical Association.
The First National Neuropsychiatry Conference was held in Guangzhou from November 25 to December 2, 1963, which exchanged a lot of valuable clinical experience and scientific research information, including the application of neuropathology, biochemistry, physiology and other experimental research methods, neuropathology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, such as the pathogenesis and therapeutic principles, and so on, carried out a relatively in-depth academic discussions It reflects the achievements and progress of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This journal was changed to 104 pages from the 1st issue in 1964, which reported the content of this congress in more detail. Emphasis is placed on treatments relating to the pathology of cerebral schistosomiasis, the clinical, pathological and surgical treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, the clinical and cerebral electrophysiology of temporal lobe epilepsy, the rapid microdiagnosis and surgical treatment of intracranial tumors, the measurement of cerebrospinal fluid aminotransferases in neurological disorders, biochemical-metabolic disorders of atypical endogenous psychiatric disorders, investigations into the genetic-biological factors of schizophrenia, biochemical-metabolic and psychiatric studies, and the neurasthenia comprehensive treatment, and other treatises.
Just as China's neuropsychiatry and its professional journals flourished, there was the outbreak of the "Cultural Revolution" in 1966, the journal, like almost all the journals in September of the same year was forced to cease publication once again. The journal, like almost all journals, was forced to cease publication again in September of the same year.
From its inception in 1955 to its closure in September 1966, *** published 10 volumes, 39 issues, published 1,366 articles, an average of 35 articles per issue. From 1955 to 1960, each volume was accompanied by a general catalog at the end of the issue, and from 1963, the issue was reissued as an index of articles. The number of copies printed per issue rose from 4030 to 7658.
Characteristics of this phase:
2.1 The content of the publication is mainly practical, and more reports on clinical analysis of common diseases and summary of clinical diagnosis and treatment experience: In the early period of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's scientific research institutions are still few, and scientific research equipment is limited, so retrospective clinical analysis of the manuscripts is more, and is also very much in need. In the past, China's relevant textbooks and reference books, the prevalence of various diseases, etiology, pathology, clinical manifestations of foreign data, and the actual situation in China often do not quite meet. Therefore, a large number of clinical analyses have been published one after another, which are quite popular among the readers and provide informative information for the writing of relevant textbooks and reference books in China. At the same time, often published "clinical pathology discussion", to exercise clinical thinking, accurate diagnosis of disease, proper treatment and care is very helpful, therefore, become one of the readers like to read and see the column.
2.2 In the early period, translations and abstracts of translations accounted for a large proportion: in the 1950s, there were 1-4 translations and 1-14 abstracts of translations in each issue; most of the translations and abstracts came from the USSR, and some of the abstracts came from the United Kingdom and the United States. Since 1958, the column of "Review" has been set up to report the relevant progress of foreign countries. Since the foundation of neuropsychiatry in China is very weak, and it was still in the initial stage in the 1950s, it is still necessary to introduce more foreign experience and achievements to enrich ourselves.
2.3 Fewer articles on basic and clinical research. At this stage *** published 605 treatises, of which 15 basic research (2.5%), clinical research 95 (15.7%), the vast majority of the two types of articles published in the early 60's. The basic research in the 50's to the study of gross anatomy, pathology is more, while biochemical and physiological research began to increase in the 60's.
2.2.
2.3 Articles of basic research and clinical research is less.
2.4 Fewer neurosurgical treatises: very few were published in the 1950s, and the number gradually increased in the 1960s, but the proportion was still small, and there were only 44 neurosurgical papers (7.3%) out of the 605 papers published during this period, which was due to the late start of neurosurgery in China. The editorial board of this journal has always attached great importance to the development of neurosurgery, and often prioritizes the publication of articles on neurosurgical research results.
2.5 Adequate coverage of information on academic conferences: The editorial board of the journal attaches great importance to the coverage of academic conferences, believing that academic conferences are a classroom for displaying summaries of relevant experience and scientific research achievements from all over the world, and that they are an important way of communicating information, broadening the horizons, enlightening the minds, and discussing academics and promoting the development of science and the growth of talents; therefore, the editorial board and the editors of the journal are actively involved in the publication of the articles. Therefore, the editorial board and editors of the journal actively participate in and organize manuscripts to report on the conference, so that the majority of readers who have not participated in the conference will also benefit from it.
2.6 by the political movement, by the political impact of the time, especially in 1966, this published a lot of political articles, sometimes half of the page per issue. Two suspension of publication (1960 and 1966) were affected by the political movement at the time, the 1966 suspension of up to 12 years, the development of neuropsychiatry career has a great impact on the development of neuropsychiatry. During this period, neuropsychiatrists around the world did very little scientific research, and sporadic results could only be published in the Chinese Medical Journal and Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine, which were reissued in the late Cultural Revolution, and Chen Xiuhua, a full-time editor, took part in the editing of the two journals successively. After the "Gang of Four" was crushed in 1976, the National Science Congress was held in the spring of 1978, which issued a great call to modernize science and technology, and under the influence of reform and opening up and strengthening international academic exchanges, it inspired the majority of neuropsychiatry workers in China to catch up with the international development of neuropsychiatry, and academic thinking became more active than ever. Academic thinking was unprecedentedly active, forming a flourishing and prosperous situation. In order to meet this situation, in early 1978, the Ministry of Health agreed to report to the State Science and Technology Commission for approval of the resumption of publication of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry. Chen Xiuhua was transferred from the editorial office of Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine to prepare for the reissue. The original editorial board members in Beijing, including Feng Yingkun, Huang Kewei, Chen Xueshi, Zhao Baoshun, Tan Mingxun, Wang Zhiyuan, Shen Yuquan, Wang Zhongzhong, Zhang Jizhi, etc., held many preparatory meetings to discuss the candidates for the editorial board and the plan for reprinting the journal. After the resumption of publication of the editorial board candidates in principle is the last editorial board in good health recommended to continue to employ, some provinces lack of editorial board members to ask the local medical association to recommend candidates, and finally by the Standing Council of the Chinese Medical Association to consider and approve the appointment. Feng Yingkun as editor-in-chief, Wu Zhengyi, Wang Zhongzhong, Zhang Yuanchang, Huang Kewei, Xia Zhenyi, Tao Guotai, Chen Xueshi as deputy editor-in-chief of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry, the third editorial board. It coincided with the Second National Congress of Neuropsychiatry held in Nanjing from July 4 to 10 of that year, during which the plenary session of the Third Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry was convened, at which Feng Yingkun and Chen Xiuhua introduced the preparations for the journal and submitted for consideration the draft regulations of the Editorial Board, the draft principles of the draft review, and the plan for the organization of the manuscripts, respectively. There was a lively discussion at the meeting, and the editorial board members from all over the world indicated that they would try their best to organize and review the relevant manuscripts for the magazine. Subsequently, on September 5 of the same year, the journal was officially reissued as a quarterly magazine with 64 pages per issue, and began to publish English abstracts of papers before the references. Since 1983, the journal has been published bimonthly, with 64 pages per issue, and since 1988, the English abstracts have been published at the back of each issue and the English listings have been abolished, while since 1993, the English abstracts have been placed under the Chinese abstracts and the English listings have been restored. Since 1980, the journal has been included in the Index Medicus of the United States, as well as in the Chinese Catalog of Scientific and Technical Materials (Medicine and Health) and Chinese Medical Abstracts of China. The full-time staff of the editorial office has increased from one editor to three editors and one editorial officer.
After the resumption of publication, the journal, in addition to the current needs of disease prevention and treatment, the organization of the corresponding manuscripts, pay special attention to reporting the content of the relevant academic conferences to meet the thirst of the majority of readers.
On April 10, 1984, the State Science and Technology Commission approved the founding of the Chinese Journal of Neurosurgery, and after the official launch of the Chinese Journal of Neurosurgery in 1985, the journal no longer publishes neurosurgical manuscripts.
Under the leadership of the Neuropsychiatry Society of the Chinese Medical Association, the fourth editorial board re-election preparatory work, after repeated brewing, in May 1986, the Executive Council of the Chinese Medical Association approved the formation of Chen Xueshi as editor-in-chief, Xia Zhenyi, Zhou Xiaoda, Tao Guotai, Shi Yuquan, Tan Mingxun, Shen Yuquan for the deputy editor of the "Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry" the fourth editorial board, adjusted 1/3 editorial board, selected 1/3 editorial board, and the editorial board of "Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry". /3 editorial board, selection of experts around 50 years of age, high professional level of experts to replace the old editorial board of 65 years of age or older in poor health, and to retain some of the old editorial board in good health as a consulting editorial board. 1986 June 3-7 in Chongqing, during the Third National Neuropsychiatry Academic Conference, held a plenary session of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry, the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry, the fourth session of the editorial board, which was introduced by the editor-in-chief of the Chen Xuesi At the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Chen Xueshi introduced the re-election of the Editorial Board, and Chen Xiuhua reported on the work report of the journal from 1978 to 1986, as well as the working regulations of the Editorial Board (revised draft) and the method of reviewing manuscripts (revised draft) for consideration and adoption. And around how to run a good journal for a lively discussion, put forward a lot of valuable opinions and suggestions, especially the request for neurology and psychiatry to start a separate publication of the higher call.
In order to enable readers to understand the latest information about the specialty, a column entitled "Trends in Essentials and Prevention" was established in 1986 to introduce the situation of international academic conferences and the development of neuropsychiatry in foreign countries. In order to strengthen the ideological orientation, opened the "character description Lin" column, introduced the old generation of neuropsychiatry professional workers hard work, hard research, learning and educating people performance.
Preparations for the re-election of the fifth editorial board were made at the beginning of 1991, and the fifth editorial board of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry was formed in April 1991 with Chen Xueshi as the editor-in-chief, and Shen Yuquan, Guo Yupu, Jiang Zoning, Jiang Dewa, Zhang Mingyuan, and Lu Xuefen as the deputy editors-in-chief. In May 1991, the fifth plenary session of the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatry was held in Jilin, China. The meeting focused on how to solve the problem of the long time of pressure of manuscripts and the problem of the off-schedule; some members of the editorial board once again put forward the proposal that the journal should be divided into two magazines, one for neurology and the other for psychiatry.
Since magazines specializing in this discipline were founded one after another in various places, such as the Chinese Journal of Neuropsychiatric Diseases, the Chinese Journal of Neurosurgery, the Journal of Stroke and Neurological Diseases, etc., more than 20 magazines, and meanwhile, during this period, the costs of paper, printing, and postal distribution continued to rise, the pricing of each issue of the journal broke through the multi-year $0.50 per volume starting from 1986, and rose gradually, so that the circulation Decline year by year. From 1980 to 1993, the average annual print run per issue was 22,294, 20,066, 19,297, 19,617, 20,445, 18,193, 17,876, 17,330, 13,569, 13,593, 13,485, and 13,270 volumes. By 1988, the Chinese Medical Association series of magazines in the pressure of rising prices, the economic situation in the doldrums, in July 1, 1988 onwards to stop paying authors for 1 year, September 1 from the collection of manuscript processing fee (from January 1, 1991 onwards for members of the Chinese Medical Association to stop charging the manuscript processing fee) and publication fees.
Since 1991, the emblem of the Chinese Medical Association has been printed on the cover of the journal. According to the regulations of the Publication Bureau, the traditional Chinese name inscribed by President Fu Lian-chang was discontinued and replaced by a simplified Chinese name from the 2nd issue in 1993.
From 1978 to the end of 1994*** 17 volumes and 90 issues were published, with 3106 articles, an average of 34.5 articles per issue.
Features of this phase:
2.1 Increase in basic and clinical research: since the journal's resumption in 1978 to the end of 1994, 1,379 treatises*** have been published, of which 82 (5.9%) are basic research and 541 (39.2%) are clinical research. The percentage of basic and clinical research is more than double that of the 1950s and 1960s (2.5% basic research, 15.7% clinical research). This is a welcome change and is the result of the strengthening of scientific research and the introduction of the postgraduate system in all units over the years. Basic research papers have contributed to our medical science. Most clinical research is conducive to the growth of grassroots professionals and promotes the prevention and treatment of neurology and psychiatry.
2.2 Rapid increase in neurosurgery papers: neurosurgery at this stage of rapid development, from 1978 resumed publication to the end of 1984, *** published 472 treatises, of which 162 neurosurgery, accounting for 34.3%, compared with the 50's neurosurgery accounted for only 1.7% (5/292), 60's accounted for 12.5% (39/313), a great progress!
2.3 Increase in the number of key issues and albums: key issues and albums of the topic is the editorial board according to the manuscripts and the planned organization of the manuscripts, especially in conjunction with the thematic symposiums and related academic conferences organized. At this stage, 45 key issues and 13 albums were published, both ****58, an average of 3 to 4 per year. This is due to the Chinese Medical Association Neuropsychiatry Society has been established since 1978-1993 14 professional groups, professional groups are held a variety of professional academic conferences, plus the symposium organized by the journal, a total of 29 (excluding the editorial board of the journal did not participate in the meeting), of which 19 neurology, psychiatry 10. In addition to the high level papers of these conferences, most of the professional conferences and symposiums have written instructive minutes and related diagnostic criteria, treatment programs, and efficacy determination criteria. These minutes and program standards (see the attached table) more fully reflect the various contents of the meeting and a variety of insights, and play a role in academic guidance, quite popular with readers.
2.4 Additional columns, active layout: the original columns of the journal are reviews, treatises, abstracts of treatises, case reports, lectures, reviews, clinical pathology (cases) discussion, academic developments, book news, this phase of the addition of academic discussions, technological reforms, international academic exchanges, the trend of precision prevention, readers * authors * editors, figures, such as the forest, in order to enrich the content, active layout.
2.5 Strengthening editorial standardization: Since 1986, the editorial standardization has been strengthened, and the legal units of measurement have been strictly implemented. At the same time, it has also strengthened the standardization of charts, statistical symbols, references, nomenclature and layout, etc., and has carried out a variety of national standards related to editing and publishing. 3.1 Over the past 40 years since the journal's inception, it has implemented the health policy, adhered to the correct direction of the journal, combined theory and practice, popularization and improvement, and served the socialist construction, and worked hard, thus making important contributions to improving the prevention and treatment of diseases and safeguarding the people's health, as well as promoting the development of academic disciplines and the cultivation of specialists, which are briefly summarized as follows.
3.2 Popularization and promotion of new theories, new technologies, new experiences: at the beginning of the founding of the country, China's neuropsychiatric professional team is very small, with the establishment and development of professional medical prevention and treatment institutions around the world, the rapid increase in the number of professionals, but mostly from the internal medicine team, the lack of professional knowledge and the lack of relevant professional reference books, in order to adapt to the needs of this issue of this journal after the founding of the journal, pay special attention to the needs of these needs to organize articles. In order to meet this need, after the creation of this journal, special attention has been paid to these needs for the organization of manuscripts, in addition to the introduction of effective clinical experience around our country through the thesis, with more space in the form of translations, abstracts, followed by the use of the literature review form of timely introduction of new theories, new technologies, new experiences abroad, to play the role of the national professional university of continuing education without walls.
3.3 Promote the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of various common neuropsychiatric diseases: In order to unify the basis and standard of diagnosis, treatment and efficacy of various neuropsychiatric diseases, the Neuropsychiatry Society of the Chinese Medical Association, its 14 professional groups and the academic conferences and symposiums held by the journal have paid great attention to the development of "classification", "diagnosis" and "diagnostic" for the diseases concerned. The academic conferences and symposiums held by the Chinese Medical Association and its 14 specialized groups and the Journal have paid much attention to the formulation of "classification", "diagnostic criteria", "treatment plan" and "efficacy assessment criteria" for the diseases concerned, and the Journal has reported them in the relevant key issues and albums in a timely manner, so as to facilitate the implementation of application by various medical treatment and prevention units. For the strengthening of the management of medical institutions, the establishment of sound medical quality and standardization of scientific research, have played a catalytic role, by the majority of neuropsychiatric workers warmly welcome.
3.4 Reflecting the new achievements of China's neuropsychiatry, and promoting the development of the discipline: This is the first professional high-level academic journal in China, which is responsible for reflecting the advanced level of this specialty in China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's neuropsychiatry workers are full of vigor, more and more scientific research work, the results of their research in a large number of submissions to the Journal, the Journal always strives to timely and rigorous review of the merit of the publication, in particular, in 1980 held a scientific conference, ushered in the spring of science, the rapid emergence of research reports, a variety of advanced diagnostic means and the application of new technologies, such as CT scanning, digital subtraction, magnetic *** vibration imaging, Doppler ultrasound testing, nuclear imaging, nuclear imaging, and the use of new technologies, the use of new technologies. imaging, Doppler ultrasonography, nuclide imaging, infrared thermography, brain topography, evoked potentials, etc.; research in cell biology and molecular biology, the application of genetic engineering techniques such as gene localization, gene diagnosis and gene therapy, as well as research in neurochemistry and pharmacokinetics of psychotropic drugs; the establishment of various experimental cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and other animal models; and the establishment of neurological tissue transplantation, such as pituitary transplantation, fetal transplantation, and schizophrenia. Transplantation, such as pituitary gland transplantation, fetal brain tissue transplantation, adrenal tissue intracerebral transplantation, etc.; a variety of common neurological and psychiatric disorders of mobile pathology investigation report, etc.; numerous reports of the dissemination of new achievements to promote the rapid progress of the discipline.
3.5 Promoting clinicians' diagnosis and treatment thinking: The journal set up a "Clinical Pathology Discussion" column soon after its inception, and 59 articles have been published. As its content is closely related to the readers' daily work, it can inspire the readers to think independently from the clinical problems and exercise their diagnostic thinking. 4.1 Over the past 40 years since the journal was founded, the editorial board and editorial board have been striving to carry out the Party's policy of health work, adhering to the policy of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, adhering to the policy of combining theory and practice, combining enhancement and popularization and focusing on enhancement, and serving the development of the cause of socialist construction, and have made achievements and accumulated valuable experience.
4.2 Give full play to the role of editorial board members and reviewers, and do a good job of reviewing and organizing manuscripts: most of the editorial board members and reviewers of the journal are reputable experts of high academic level in the field of neurology and psychiatry in China, and they are the leaders in their respective fields, and they are able to strictly screen the manuscripts and organize the manuscripts and provide appropriate and powerful clues to the organization of the manuscripts, which has contributed to the quality of the journal. Especially in the early period of the journal, the old editorial board members had sacrificed a lot of personal rest time to review and revise manuscripts for the journal, and often participated in the editorial board meeting in Beijing on Sundays or at night, no matter it was windy or rainy, hot or cold, they were all present on time and discussed each manuscript seriously. Continue to give full play to the role of such a selfless spirit of dedication to the authoritative team of professional editors and reviewers, is a fundamental guarantee of a good magazine.
4.3 Fully reflecting the new achievements and trends of neuropsychiatry research at home and abroad: The journal always puts reflecting the new achievements and trends of neuropsychiatry research at home and abroad in the first place, so as to enable the majority of professionals to obtain new knowledge, expand their horizons, improve their medical level and scientific research level through good overall design and orientation, and then promote the development of the cause of neuropsychiatry in China.
4.4 Adequate coverage of the content of the academic conference to expand its social benefits: the Chinese Medical Association Neuropsychiatry Society and its later 14 academic groups, the early years of the academic conference held every few years, the later stage of the annual total of 2 to 3 specialty academic conferences or professional academic seminars. And on the relevant important issues for discussion. Specialty symposium is for the specialty in all relevant aspects *** with the important issues of concern to the organization of the symposium, in addition to the open call for papers, according to the main topic of the invited reports and synthesis reports, these meetings before the end of the meeting, the meeting leading group always according to the report of the papers and extensive discussions and the evaluation of the meeting of the participants, a careful summary, pointing out the main gains, academic controversy situation The leading group of these conferences will always make a careful summary based on the papers presented and the extensive discussions, as well as the evaluation of the conference by the participants, pointing out the main gains, the academic controversies, the opinions that have gained unanimous understanding and the opinions that still have different understandings, as well as the topics that should be explored in the future, and entrusting one of the moderators to make a summary report to the conference. In order to give full play to the benefits of the academic conference, the journal, in addition to selecting and publishing representative and important papers, organizes relevant experts to write a summary of the conference. Proceedings of the conference require not to set words, empty words, the requirements of the conference summary report on the basis of the meeting of the key issues involved in the meeting fully reflected, the proceedings should be achieved so that readers who did not participate in the meeting to read like to participate in the meeting as a real gain. Important papers about these academic conferences, conference proceedings, reviews, plus reviews, to form a key number or album, in order to enable the majority of readers a comprehensive understanding of the content of the meeting, to gain benefits.
4.5 Planned organization of thematic symposia and focus number: Holding thematic symposia is an important form of organizing manuscripts. The selection of topics is determined by the Editorial Board when formulating the editorial plan for the next year. Issues that are urgently needed to be discussed at present are selected, and the list of central speakers, invited synthesis reporters, and experts or units to be invited to participate in the discussion for each relevant sub-topic are proposed.
