Item Do local citation patterns support use of the impact factor for collection development?(Medical Library Association, 2008-10) Ralston, Rick K.; Gall, Carole; Brahmi, Frances A.Item Impact of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, 2004 to 2014(Elsevier, 2015-07) Weiner, Michael W.; Veitch, Dallas P.; Aisen, Paul S.; Beckett, Laurel A.; Cairns, Nigel J.; Cedarbaum, Jesse; Donohue, Michael C.; Green, Robert C.; Harvey, Danielle; Jack, Clifford R.; Jagust, William; Morris, John C.; Petersen, Ronald C.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Shaw, Leslie; Thompson, Paul M.; Toga, Arthur W.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineINTRODUCTION: The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) was established in 2004 to facilitate the development of effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) by validating biomarkers for AD clinical trials. METHODS: We searched for ADNI publications using established methods. RESULTS: ADNI has (1) developed standardized biomarkers for use in clinical trial subject selection and as surrogate outcome measures; (2) standardized protocols for use across multiple centers; (3) initiated worldwide ADNI; (4) inspired initiatives investigating traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder in military populations, and depression, respectively, as an AD risk factor; (5) acted as a data-sharing model; (6) generated data used in over 600 publications, leading to the identification of novel AD risk alleles, and an understanding of the relationship between biomarkers and AD progression; and (7) inspired other public-private partnerships developing biomarkers for Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. DISCUSSION: ADNI has made myriad impacts in its first decade. A competitive renewal of the project in 2015 would see the use of newly developed tau imaging ligands, and the continued development of recruitment strategies and outcome measures for clinical trials.
