Abstract:

The published articles of the Chinese Journal of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases in 2009-2012(including original articles, experimental researches, field researches and clinical researches) were statistically analyzed. Together 258 research papers were published in the 4 years, and funded papers occupied 82.2%(212/258). The number of papers funded by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 foundations projects was 116, 58, 29, 7 and 2, respectively. 61.8%(131/212) of the foundations projects were at the national level; 28.3%(60/212) were at provincial and ministerial level. The papers supported by academy and international agencies accounted for 7.1%(15/212), 2.8%(6/212), respectively. The funded thesis mainly referred to schistosomiasis(35, 16.5%), cystic echinococcosis(29, 13.7%), malaria(24, 11.3%), toxoplasmosis(22, 10.4%), and cysticercosis(9, 4.2%). Five fields covered in these papers were as follows: epidemiology(29, 13.7%), immunology and diagnosis(53, 25%), molecular biology(75, 35.4%), etiology(28,13.2%), and pharmacology(24, 11.3%). The ratio of founded paper was 0.70, 0.67, 0.74, and 0.65 during 2009-2012, respectively. The high ratio of founded paper indicated that this journal is with domestic and abroad importance in the field of parasitology.
