Bibliometric analysis of PBL related research in medical education / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Using the information metrology's correlation theories and literature measurement method, this article makes statistics of the PBL related research papers in our country's medical education published in 1979-2010 and analyzes this domain's distribution of time, article quantity, authors'units and key word term frequency. We propose that PBL research should be further standardized in the concept aspect and the research technique as well as the discipline involved should be further multiplied in our country.
