Abstract: Objective Through the statistical analysis of evidence-based medicine education research papers published in domestic journals to realize the research status in this field and to provide the reference for later studies.Methods Papers retrieved in CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. And then, a statistic assay of distribution of time, journals, publishing institutions, authors, co-authors, the number of quotations and key words by a bibliometric analysis was made.Results Included 793 papers from 265 journals, 208 institutions, distributed in 28 provinces. The earliest literature began in 1999. There were 12 core authors and 22 high frequency keywords. The cited rate was 73.4%. Each paper was cited 3.9 times. H-index is 21. Co-authored rate was 78.1%. The cooperation degree was 3.11.Conclusions In recent years, evidence-based medicine education research in our country developed rapidly. The papers quantity increased significantly, covering subjects were relatively broad. High level research institutions and research teams gradually formed, but the research of regional distribution was uneven, core researcher number was low, research was not very popular, research quality varies greatly. The level of research has yet to be improved.
