  • Lozano, Andres M, University of Toronto
  • Albanese, Alberto, Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan
  • Goetz, Christopher G, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL
  • Dawson, Ted M, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
  • Cookson, Mark R, National Institute on Aging NIH, Bethesda, MD
  • Maraganore, Demetrius M, Mayo Clinic Minnesota, Rochester, MN

    In addition, newer bibliometric methods were used as a means to assess productivity and impact. Researchers were ranked using H-indices (a measure of an author's highly-cited body of work), and "broad impact" citations were introduced as a novel way of identifying those scientists whose PD work has a large "ripple effect" beyond the PD research community.

    Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1𔃀% of the population over the age of 65. It is characterized by loss of brain cells (neurons) from the mid-brain which use the neurotransmitter dopamine to help control voluntary movements.
