The purpose of this study is to evaluate neuroscience scholarly journals in academic libraries and to identify the most important journals for academic study, teaching, and research. A Web-based survey of faculty members of the City University of New York participating in different neuroscience programs was carried out. As a result of this study, the list of 116 professional journals which academic neuroscience faculty used regularly for clinical/research information, teaching, and current awareness was compiled. The strength of this listing is that all journals are grouped in three separate use categories: for research, for teaching, and for current awareness. In addition, the ranked list of 43 most influential periodicals was generated. These results are of interest to collection development librarians, to better understand their users’ needs. Furthermore, this project might be of interest to academic faculty and scholars teaching and/or researching in the different areas of neuroscience.

这项研究的目的是评估大学图书馆中的神经科学学术期刊，并确定最重要的学术研究，教学和研究期刊。对参加不同神经科学计划的纽约城市大学的教职员工进行了基于Web的调查。这项研究的结果是，编制了神经科学学院定期用于临床/研究信息，教学和当前意识的116种专业期刊的清单。该列表的优势在于，所有期刊都分为三个单独的使用类别：研究，教学和当前意识。此外，还生成了43个最有影响力的期刊的排名列表。这些结果对于馆藏开发图书馆员来说是有意义的，以便更好地了解其用户的需求。
