Abstract
This study examines China’s performance on tissue engineering using scientometrics measures such as China’s global publication share, rank, growth rate and citation impact, its publications in various sub-fields, top journals in terms of national share based on last 5 years (2008–2012) publications data obtained from ISI Science citation index expanded database. We have also determined Chinese share with international collaborative papers at the national level, as well as h-core papers and high-cited papers, etc.
