Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cognitive Neuroscience Society
This society may not be particularly large (seems to be about 2K+ members) but it gets a reasonable amount of coverage in the newsmedia, as far as academic societies go. There are examples of news articles covering the society itself, specifically, such as https://huntnewsnu.com/53373/city-pulse/boston-sheraton-hosts-25th-annual-cognitive-neuroscience-convention/ this article about the CNS 2018 annual meeting in Boston. Here is an editorial blog post from the Scientific American https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/brains-in-boston-weekend-recap-of-cognitive-neuroscience-societys-annual-meeting/ about the 2012 annual meeting of the CNS. More typical are articles that discuss some of the society's actovities, in various degrees of detail. Recent examples include Science https://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2020/04/covid-19-forces-conferences-online-scientists-discover-upsides-virtual-format and Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01553-9, where responses of scientific societies to the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. The CNS gets a few paragraphs in each. Most news stories concern various studies presented at CNS meetings. That's still nontrivial coverage, and there's a lot of it over 600+ GNews hits. Here are some samples at NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/26/weekinreview/when-sports-becomes-a-head-game.html?searchResultPosition=3https://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/11/magazine/seeing-with-your-ears.html?searchResultPosition=1https://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/20/science/old-brains-can-learn-new-language-tricks.html?searchResultPosition=2. Looking at https://www.cogneurosociety.org/people/#governing_board the CNS governing board, one can see right away that the organization is legit: Marie Banich has h-index 77https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=n5pdZqMAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao, Roberto Cabeza has h-index 97 https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=aTcWW-QAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao, Marta Kutas has h-index 110 https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Yiqb24wAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao, and so on.
