Data regarding the research paper productivity of Japanese pharmacy schools in 2017

Since the early 2000s, it has often been noted that academic publications from Japan have stagnated. However, in recent years, no study has focused on academic productivity specific to Japanese pharmacy schools . Therefore, we present the data regarding the number of published papers (Table 1) and biomedical field publications per faculty member (production coefficients,Table 2) in the all pharmacy faculties in Japan in 2017 (74 schools). Publications were extracted from the PubMed database. Faculty members were defined as professors, associate professors, and lecturers (3313 in all). The figures are presented separately for public and private universities. In addition, the comparison of pharmacy schools in private universities was divided into the schools established after 2003 and schools established before that date.自21世纪初以来，学界常指出日本的学术论文发表陷入停滞态势。然而近年来尚无研究聚焦于日本药学院校的专属学术产出水平。据此，本研究整理并公布了2017年日本全国74所药学部的相关数据：包括论文总发表量（见表1），以及每位教职员工的生物医学领域论文发表量（产出系数，见表2）。 研究数据均提取自PubMed数据库。本次研究将教职员工界定为教授、副教授及讲师，总计3313人。相关数据按公立与私立大学分别统计呈现。此外，针对私立药学院校的对比分析，将其按2003年建校前后划分为两组进行统计。
