Hong Kong Baptist University and Elsevier Report Highlights Global Expansion of Chinese Medicine Research, Urges Standardised Frameworks for Broader Integration
HKBU and Elsevier launched a new report 'Evolving Legacy: Decoding the Scientific Trajectory of Chinese Medicine', highlighting the growing global impact of Chinese Medicine research in diversified healthcare solutions. ISTANBUL, TURKEY – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2025 – The report 'Evolving Legacy: Decoding the Scientific Trajectory of Chinese Medicine' released today by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and Elsevier, reveals the growing impact of Chinese Medicine research on global healthcare and modern health challenges. In this context, 'Chinese Medicine research' encompasses not only clinical practice, but also basic and translational science, AI-driven systems medicine, and the network pharmacology of herbal formulas. This first bibliometric analysis of Chinese Medicine research from 2014 to 2023 highlights the field's rapid growth, interdisciplinarity, and societal impact on Digital Health and Systems Medicine. Key findings from the report include: Rapid expansion : Chinese Medicine research grew at a 10.6% compound annual growth rate — more than double the global research average — nearly tripling output between 2014 and 2023. : Chinese Medicine research grew at a 10.6% compound annual growth rate — more than double the global research average — nearly tripling output between 2014 and 2023.
