Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the present state of research activities in the field of medicine. The number of papers in seven developped countries are surveyed using EMBASE, during the priod of 1976-1994, and the papers are also classified by the ７ sub-fields of medicine. It is interesting to note that Japan has become the third largest country in terms of the output of medicine, and Japan has continued to increase its number and share in the all sub-fields of medicine. Though Japan has larger share of world publications in the sub-field of biochemistry and genetics, cancer, and neurology than UK, the UK presence in the sub-field of clinical medicine and basic medicine are more larger output than Japan. Now Russia looses its influence on the share of world publication and can no longer afford to live like a scientific superpower. On the basis of establishing the Basic Law of Science and Technology in 1995, Japan's scientific research will become more active. In order to develop the research performance in Japan, the analysis of research output and the priority setting in research funding have to be discussed.
