Abstract
This bibliometric analysis was examined by the references of the articles on Medicine Chinese Traditional (MCT) searched by the CD-ROM Medline. The 3006 references of the articles on MCT which were published between 1974 and 1992 in 343 periodicals were the samples for present study. The results were illustrated in order to identify reasonably a hierarchical ranking of periodicals and to evaluate objectively a distribution of countries where those articles were published and languages in which those articles were written.
