《医学学科发展态势分析》报告主要采用文献计量方法，以世界医学发展态势为背景，提供中国及主要国家全方位、多角度的定量数据及分析结论。.报告从学科（医学学科）、分支学科（9个，根据国务院学位委员会设置的医学分支学科分类）和重要研究方向（若干个，NSFC关注，由专家遴选）三个层面展开。评估角度涉及学科发展趋势、研究规模、学术影响力水平、学科布局和人才培养等内容。在重要研究方向层面的数据分析中，采用定量与定性方法结合的形式，邀请相关方向的专家对定量数据进行解读。.报告的发布，将为NSFC医学部了解医学领域世界与中国的发展现状提供定量数据作为参考；同时，为制定符合本国利益和需求的医学学科发展政策、合理配置科技资源提供依据。

The report "The assessment of development trend of Medical Science in China” mainly adopts bibliometric approach to analysis the quantitative data of Medical Science in China and major countries, providing comprehensive, multi-angle conclusions. .The report is launched from three different levels: the overall disciplinary developmental trend of Medical Science, the development of the nine sub-disciplines of Medical Science(defined by China SCADC), and the profile of several “hot” topical areas. Assessments are related to the trends, size, influence, layout, and human resources. To analysis different “hot” topical areas, we combine qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, and invite experts in the relevant areas to give an interpretation of the quantitative data..By providing various items of statistical data and analysis of quantitative findings, the report will supply reference for relevant agencies of NSFC to develop the discipline policy, and allocate the science and technology resources reasonably.
