Abstract:

In order to understand the basic information for the articles published in the Chinese Journal of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases from 2013 to 2018, all information related to the articles published in the journal during this period were collected and analyzed using method of bibliometrics. The statistic results showed that total 777 articles were published in the journal during the six years period with 51.2% (398/777) as original articles. Among the 428 original papers (including original articles, experimental studies, field studies, clinical studies, etc.), those related to the research of echinococcosis accounted for 18.7% (80/428), followed by the research of schistosomiasis (18.0%, 77/428). Among the research articles, experimental research accounted for 63.3% (271/428). Regarding author information, most of them came from disease prevention and control institutions (46.5%, 200/428) and universities (45.0%, 191/428), followed by the medical institutions (8.5%, 37/428). The authors from disease prevention and control institutions increased from 32.9% (25/76) in 2013 to 60.8% (45/74) in 2018, suggesting that researches in the field of disease prevention and control are the major source of authors who conduct the high level research work and contribute most to the publication of articles related to the parasitology and parasitic diseases.
