中医药主要包括三个方面,即中医、中药和针灸,且因其显著的医疗价值逐渐引起广泛重视。采用文献计量分析法对关于中医药以及其分支研究的文献进行分析,数据来源于1980-2009年科学引文扩展数据库,共收录16536篇相关文献。统计结果显示,关于针灸的文献数量呈明显下降趋势,而关于中医和中药的文献数量则大幅上升。东亚地区是发表中医药文献最多的区域,紧随其后的是北美和欧洲。虽然在东亚各国中,中国是发表中医药文献最多的国家,但是美国的文献引用率居全球首位;东亚学者的研究重点在于中药,而北美和欧洲各国则更重视针灸的研究。在过去的30年中,中国取代日本成为中医药研究第一大国,而美国则继续保持其在针灸研究方面的优势并保持上升态势。在所有研究中医药的科研机构中,中国科学院居于首位,韩国庆熙大学发表的关于针灸的文献最多,而美国哈佛大学发表的关于针灸的文献引用率最高。
Chinese medicine mainly consists of three aspects, namely, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and has drawn wide attention due to its remarkable medical value. Bibliometric analysis was used to analyze the literature on Chinese medicine and its branch research. The data were collected from the Science Citation Expansion Database from 1980 to 2009, and 16,536 articles were collected. Statistics show that the number of literature on acupuncture showed a clear downward trend, while the number of documents on traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine has risen sharply. East Asia is the area where most TCM literature is published, followed by North America and Europe. Although among the East Asian countries, China is the country that publishes the most literature on traditional Chinese medicine, the United States ranks the first in the world in the citation of literature. East Asian scholars mainly focus on traditional Chinese medicine while North American and European countries place more emphasis on acupuncture. In the past 30 years, China replaced Japan as the largest country in Chinese medicine research, while the United States continued to maintain its advantages in acupuncture research and maintain its upward trend. Among all the scientific research institutions that study Chinese medicine, the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranks first, with the largest number of articles on acupuncture published by Kyung Hee University in Korea, and the most cited literature on acupuncture published by Harvard University in the United States.
