摘要：

Objective To investigate the degree of Japan's contribution in basic and clinical research in the last decade. Methods Original articles published in 1990-2000 in highly reputed basic and clinical journals were accessed through MEDLINE database. The number of articles having affiliation with a Japanese institution was counted separately for basic and clinical journals. Results Of total articles, Japan's contributions in basic and clinical research were 3.1 % and 0.7 %, respectively (p=0.0001). The recent increase in the contribution was significant for basic research (p=0.01), but not for clinical research (p=0.91). Conclusion The barriers to boosting high quality clinical research in Japan should be determined and accordingly appropriate measures should be taken forthwith.
