Abstract: Objective To analyze the number and quality of biomedical journals of different countries,so as to evaluate the situation of their biomedical research.Methods We searched and analyzed the Journal citation report published by Thomson Reuters. The information of biomedical journals of four countries:China,Japan,India,and South Korea,was collected,and was subjected to statistical analysis.Results It was found that China had the least number of biomedical journals,and it accounted for the lowest ratio of its total journals.However,the quality of Chinese biomedical journals was in the lead among the four countries.The impact factor of Chinese journals was obviously higher than those of the other three groups.Compared with Japan,the numbers of Chinese biomedical journals was less for different academic areas.Conclusion China has comparatively small number of SCI-indexed biomedical journals, and the situation should be improved from both number and quality aspects,so that our biomedical journal become a part of the interna-tional biomedical publishing community.
