Objective To investigate the degree of Japans contribution in basic and clinical research in the last decade. Methods Original articles published in 1990-2000 in highly reputed basic and clinical journals were accessed through MEDLINE database. The number of articles having affiliation with a Japanese institution was counted separately for basic and clinical journals. Results Of total articles, Japans contributions in basic and clinical research were 3.1% and 0.7%, respectively (p=0.0001). The recent increase in the contribution was significant for basic research (p=0.01), but not for clinical research (p=0.91). Conclusion The barriers to boosting high quality clinical research in Japan should be determined and accordingly appropriate measures should be taken forthwith.(Internal Medicine 41: 626-628, 2002)
