According to Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory (1997), the number of newly-established journals in the field of neurological science has been tending to increase and 92 new journals were established in 1980's, the greatest number ever. In Japan, there was a correlation between the value of the impact factor and numbers of newly established holding journals. Brain Research, Neurology, and Journal of Comparative Neurology were selected as the core journals in the field of neurological science in the 1984 and 1995 edition of the two-step model targetting 85 journals in the neurological science field. The impact factor of the Journal of Neuroscience suddenly began to increase in 1988, and it was the journal with greatest increase in value in the field of neurological science. The field of neurological science, from the stand point of linkage with the physiological science field, has deepened its links with the core journals of the natural science field. This reflects the fact that the field of neurological science is rated as the research subject field at the center of the natural sciences.

Background: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is currently dominating the medical field as a keyword that reflects modern medicine, even in Japan. There are four steps to the practice of evidence-based medicine: 1. formulating a clinical question, 2. collecting evidence, 3. appraising the evidence, 4. applying it to the patient. Practice guidelines are the final products in this stepwise process of EBM.Purpose: Practice guidelines are useful for achieving standardization and efficiency in the quality of medicine, and they are important for implementation of EBM. In this paper, the author (s) retrieved practice guideline articles, quantitatively assessed the number of articles, and analyzed their content.Methods: The MEDLINE database was searched for articles indexed under “Practice Guideline” according to “Publication Type”, and the articles retrieved were counted and analyzed with Excel software.Results: A total of 4, 887 practice guidelines were retrieved, 108 of which were published in 1991, versus 436 in 1992, indicating a 4 fold increase in just this one year. The most frequent major descriptors used to index the practice guidelines were “HIV infections” (124 articles), “breast neoplasms” (99), “mass screening” (95), “asthma” (92), and “hypertension” (86).Conclusion: The word “EBM” was first used by GH Guyatt in 1991, and the Cochrane collaboration was started in 1992. The number of practice guidelines has steadily increased since the introduction of EBM. The development of practice guidelines for diseases was found to have surged even in Japan, with many practice guidelines being available for diseases.

Eponymy is the practice of affixing a scientist's name to his or her discovery or invention.Five hundred fifty-nine eponyms were analyzed from among three hundred ninety one cases selected from lists of syndromes which appeared in the Supplment of “The Japanese Journal of Clinical Medicine” in 1977 and 1982 and 1987.The following results were obtained:1) Eponyms were the most frequent (85) in the 1950's. The frequency of eponyms increased markedly from 11 in the 1870's to the 1950's but has been decreasing since then.2) Eponyms were the most frequent-179 (32%)-in the U. S.
