Abstract: Objective:To analyze moxibustion reports published in the journals of Science Citation Index (SCI),so as to grasp the current publication development of researches on moxibustion and to provide submission reference to such studies in the future.Methods:Moxibustion reports were searched on PubMed and ISI web of knowledge,and 2 reviewers extracted data independently for analysis.Studies qualified were analyzed from eight aspects:publishing amount,research type,source journal,impact factor (IF),source country,source academy,indication and effect evaluation,comparison of studies between China and other countries.Results and Conclusion:Fifty-three associated reports published in journals of SCI were selected.The publishing amount of moxibustion reports increased year by year,and majority of these reports were clinical researches and system reviews.IFs of most journals were less than 5.Diseases involved were various;however,the curative effect of moxibustion was still uncertain worldwide.The mechanism of moxibustion was not fully described,either.Further high-quality and convictive researches were still needed to define the curative effect of moxibustion and to increase the SCI publishing amounts.
