This study aimed to quantify the following: (1) health research in academic journals covering Nepal, (2) location of authors, and (3) most prevalent specialties. Published health research conducted in Nepal during 1996 to May 2007 was assessed by searching from 4 electronic databases, and 631 research articles met the inclusion criteria. Only 11% was published in Nepalese journals. Most research covered urban districts. About two thirds of articles had Nepalese authors, but only 41% had a Nepalese first author. Child health and nutrition (11%), maternal health and women's health (11%), and sexual reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, and family planning (11%) were the most common topics. Most articles (78%) reported quantitative methods. The number of research articles from Nepal is fairly small and concentrated on a limited number of topics and districts. Strategic planning is required to improve the research capacity of Nepal to achieve public health improvements using locally produced evidence.
（1）涵盖尼泊尔的学术期刊中的健康研究，（2）作者所在地，以及（3）最常见的专业领域。通过从 4 个电子数据库中进行搜索，评估了 1996 年至 2007 年 5 月期间在尼泊尔开展的已发表健康研究，共有 631 篇研究文章符合纳入标准。仅有 11%发表在尼泊尔期刊上。大多数研究涵盖城市地区。约三分之二的文章有尼泊尔作者，但仅有 41%的文章有尼泊尔第一作者。儿童健康和营养（11%）、孕产妇健康和妇女健康（11%）以及性生殖健康和艾滋病毒/艾滋病、计划生育（11%）是最常见的主题。大多数文章（78%）报告了定量方法。来自尼泊尔的研究文章数量相当少，且集中在有限的几个主题和地区。需要进行战略规划，以提高尼泊尔的研究能力，利用本地产生的证据来改善公共卫生。
