Continuation of response to  Youre right that a map can be created for any subject and scale is the critical factor Shoehorning detail into this article is not easy There is however a difference  with topics like physics and medicine  they have been around long enough to have extremely well defined components and boundaries The retrospect of such topics makes for a much more easily catagorized article In answer to the pharmacology article which incidently needs more info about principles and possibly a separated article on list of medications Pharmacology is mostly what I condider a closed subject except for the medications themselves  the major aspects of drug disposition pharmacokinetics the basics of pharmacodynamics are all well established and slowly evolving if at all There is no need to refer to journals in that article In a subject like neuropsychopharmacology though much of what is known is in a state of disarray In principle if lab research were to stop today the field could still continue for some time purely based on analysis of existing data That is why I think the journals are so important An article like Molecular nanotechnology should and does refer to journal articles I think it should actually link to more journals Anyhow not to get too wound up over the journal issue I do see your point that it is overstretching to make subsection out of a journal as I have done  Back to the article at hand please bear with me while I elaborate Early in the article I gave some thought to categorization The main two possibilities seemed to be something like organization by clinical topic diseases etc or organization by technical topic neurochemical etc Either way will involve some level of mishmash Clinical topic organization would continually refer to neural details which would not have been formally presented Well a point I was trying to make in the article is that only relatively recently does the formalism underlying psychiatric and mental study begin to have a basis which places these on par with other hard sciences By analogy if you wanted to fix or redesign a television set youll need the schematic or else youre just tinkering Neuropsychopharmacology is finding the schematic of the brain but also the principles analogous to component design as well  All of the hard sciences tend to present material in the logical heirarchy of technical knowledge with examples or applications interspersed along the way where appropriate I decided to treat the subject more like the hard science it is becoming I like the idea that one day humans may be able to write a technical manual for the human mind and this is partly what  I meant by flavor     But forget about flavor lets talk mapping From what I gather the major subtopics of neuropsychopharmacology are something like Neurotransmitters Receptors Investigational tools Gene transcription Anxiety disorders Affective disorders Psychotic disorders Degenerative disorders Sleep and Anesthesia Eating behavior Future direction Activities are drug development and assorted fundamental research activities each of which  typically adds a mere incremental fraction to collective knowledge These could be subcategorized into slice methods patchclamp methods genetic methods I dont know what else  Perhaps it would be technically more appropriate to go ahead and catagorize the article that way but I felt that even that would make the article too long Again with regards to the scope of the field the ACNP th generation of progress compilation has a chapter Introduction to preclinical neuropsychopharmacology which is a very nice introtype article and comprehensive too But it is rather lengthy by wiki standards highly presuppositional quite dense and still does not provide any of the details which are precisely what the remainder of the compilation is to render  So I currently have History Overview Investigational tools degenerative disorders Neurotransmission neurotransmitters receptors gene transcription Drugs drug development future direction Neural circuitry more example oriented sleep psychosis hallucination aspect Research  There is currently nothing about eating behavior or anesthetics  Im wary that there may not be enough detail about degenerative disorders though I mentioned three of them and briefly discussed relevant developments I believe that the research section could deemphasize journals and cover some of the actual methods like the patchclamp  I did not think this all through so rigorously when I began writing but now having done so it should be easier to identify flaws or deficits in this approach  H
