ID OUTPUT
AB To identify where the quality research activity has been and is
   carried out in Korea, and to examine to what extents Korean
   medical colleges play leading roles in the production of
   international research papers, we investigated the publication
   productivity of Korean medical colleges and their medical
   departments as measured by the number of papers published in
   foreign journals indexed in MEDLINE. The 12-year period from
   1988 to 1999 is covered. A total of 4,881 papers is published
   in MEDLINE foreign journals by the researchers in Korean
   medical colleges during the period. The production of MEDLINE
   papers are concentrated in a few universities. More than 60% of
   MEDLINE foreign journal papers is published by top five
   universities-25% by Seoul National University, and 15% by
   Yonsei University. The newly established medical colleges at
   the University of Ulsan and Sungkyunkwan University produced
   outstanding numbers of papers in less than ten years. Radiology
   has led the internationalization of Korean medical papers. It
   was the most productive specialty identified in this study. The
   productivity of Internal medicine is on the rise from the mid-
   1990s, and the field began to produce the most number of papers
   since then.
