Abstract: Objective:To analyze the characteristics of papers written by Chinese authors from Mainland and published in the journals in dermatology included by Science Citation Index during 2003-2012. Methods:According to Journal Citation Report ( JCR) of Institute for Scientific Information, we searched papers with first authors from China mainland and published in the journals in dermatology included in the Science Citation Index ( SCI) database from 2003 to 2012 using the Thomson Reuters Web of Science. The publication type, correspondence of authors and citation count of these papers were analyzed. Results: There was an increase trend in the number of papers written by authors from China mainland and published in the journals in derma-tology indexed by SCI from 2003 to 2012, with the annual incremental rate being 39.92% for all papers and 26.10% for the papers excluding meeting abstracts and correction. Among these papers, original artides (43.0%,963/2237) were the most common publication type, followed by meeting abstracts (38.0%,851/2237) and letters (15.5%,347/2237). Proceeding papers, reviews and original articles showed relatively higher citation times and rate, while meeting abstracts showed the least citation . The proportion of the papers regarding basic researches was somewhat higher than that of clinical researches ( 11/20 vs. 9/20) . The Most of these papers were published in the journals ranked in the second (39.2%) and first (38.8%) quartiles by CR.
