据设于费城的科学情报研究所主办的《科学观察》杂志对发表于1988—1990年间的高引用率的日本论文所作的分析,日本在生命科学领域的影响力正开始日益增强。这是日本在1986—1990年的五年间除工程、技术和应用科学外的另一个领域的性能指标增长,日本关于应用科学的论文的被引用率目前比世界平均水平高11％。尽管日本的生命科学从引证影响率的角度来看比平均水平低26％,但仅从“最热点”的论文的较小范围分析来看,其生命科学显然在影响方面居支配地位,但技术也仍然是最重要 According to an analysis of Japanese papers published in Science Observatory, published by the Institute of Scientific Information in Philadelphia, and published in high rates in 1988-1990, Japan's influence in life sciences is beginning to increase. This is a measure of Japan's performance growth in another area of ​​engineering, technology and applied science in the five years 1986-1990. Japanese citation rates for applied science are currently 11% above the world average. Although Japan's life sciences are 26% below average on citation impact, the life sciences clearly dominate in terms of mere scoping analysis of the “hottest” papers only, but technology It is still the most important thing
