There are many kinds of medicinal animal resources, which are an important part of traditional Chinese medicine resources (TCM). However, the use of medicinal animals in TCM, especially wild animals, has become a sensitive problem at home and abroad. Systematic analysis on the research status and direction of medical animals in the last 10 years which for promoting the sustainable development of Chinese medicine.
PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, CNKI, VIP database and WanFang Database were selected, and SPSS 25.0 software was used to analyze annual publications, journals, global distribution, authors, coauthors and co-authors rate, author institutions and high-frequency keywords.
Chinese Journal of modern Chinese medicine occupies the majority articles with a high co-authorship rate, but low impact factors. The development of medical animals around the world is not balanced. The top three countries are China, United Kingdom and United States. However, these countries have less exchanges and cooperation with each other. The Institute of TCM of Chinese Academy owns the most research achievements. At present, the hot spots involve the identification and quality of medical animals, applied basic research.
The identification, quality and applied basic research of medical animals are still worthy of increasing research investment. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen exchanges and international cooperation among different countries in TCM, and promote the high-quality development in medical animals.
药用动物资源种类繁多，是中药资源的重要组成部分。然而，中药中对药用动物尤其是野生动物的使用，已成为国内外一个敏感问题。对近10年药用动物的研究现状与方向进行系统分析，以促进中医药的可持续发展。
选取PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、CINAHL、CNKI、维普数据库和万方数据库，并使用SPSS 25.0软件分析年度出版物、期刊、全球分布、作者、共同作者及共同作者率、作者机构和高频关键词。
《中华现代中医学杂志》刊载文章数量最多，合著率高，但影响因子低。全球药用动物研究发展不均衡。排名前三的国家是中国、英国和美国。然而，这些国家之间的交流与合作较少。中国中医科学院的研究成果最多。目前热点涉及药用动物的鉴定与质量、应用基础研究。
药用动物的鉴定、质量及应用基础研究仍值得加大研究投入。此外，有必要加强中医药不同国家间的交流与国际合作，推动药用动物领域的高质量发展。
