Abstract:
The source indexes for the coverage of Chinese biomedical journals in MEDLINE were analyzed and compared with the mean values of those for the journals in each subject,which showed that the number of MEDLINE-covered papers published in Chinese medical journals was small ( about 260 papers each year) , the number of au-thors in each paper was 5 and the number of references in each paper was 17 with a half-life of 6. 175 years. The MEDLINE-covered Chinese medical journals did not emphasize on the publication of papers from overseas. However, it seemed that they could attract more found-supported papers.
