Abstract

Psychophysiology, the flagship journal of psychophysiological research, has played a key role in the field for 60 years. For the present study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis assessing the journal's development in terms of performance, authorship trends, and thematic content for this time span. Over the years, Psychophysiology has experienced a consistent increase in manuscript submissions, published articles, and impact factor. Authorship trends showed larger, more diverse author teams, with a growing percentage of female first authors now representing about 50% of submissions and an increase in international collaborations. Thematic content has evolved, shifting from peripheral measures to central nervous system measures like EEG and ERPs while maintaining the journal's long-standing emphasis on methodological advancements. Research topics have expanded from basic stimulus processing to more complex investigations into emotion, cognition, and psychopathology, with growing interdisciplinary integration. This article provides a quantitative overview of Psychophysiology's contributions and development, aimed at offering insights into the journal's past, current state, and potential future directions in psychophysiological research.

绘制60年的心理生理学：期刊表现、作者趋势和专题演变的文献计量学分析。

《心理生理学》是心理生理学研究的旗舰杂志，60年来一直在该领域发挥着关键作用。在本研究中，我们进行了文献计量分析，评估了该期刊在这段时间内的表现、作者趋势和主题内容方面的发展。多年来，心理生理学经历了稿件提交，发表文章和影响因子的持续增长。作者趋势显示出更大、更多样化的作者团队，女性第一作者的比例不断上升，目前约占投稿量的50%，国际合作也在增加。主题内容已经演变，从外围测量转向中枢神经系统测量，如脑电图和erp，同时保持期刊长期以来对方法进步的重视。研究课题已从基本的刺激处理扩展到更复杂的情感、认知和精神病理学的研究，跨学科的融合越来越多。这篇文章提供了心理生理学的贡献和发展的定量概述，旨在提供对该杂志的过去，现状和心理生理学研究的潜在未来方向的见解。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
