摘　　要：This paper deals with an overview of primatological literature in China. The total number of publications was 2 052 from 1870-2001. Two peaks in the number of publications occurred during 1950-1965 and 1978-2001, respectively. In 2 052 publications, most of them were published by the science-research sector, accounting for 54.2% of total publications. The percentage of publications from the science-research sector has been increasing over time, however, the contribution from the foreign sector has produced a contrary trend. Over 9% of total publications were indexed by SCI. The highest percentage of publications indexed by SCI took place during 1966-1977. In all publications indexed by SCI, those from the science-research sector dominated other sectors （59.1% of total publications）. However, the foreign sector led with 30.1% of its own publications being in SCI. Studies of primatology were divided into nine areas. The percentage and change in percentage of publications in areas of primatology were counted. During 1978-2001 ecology and behaviour, neurobiology, reproduction and captive feeding were rapidly developing;fossil primates, morphology and anatomy decreasing;and taxonomy and distribution, cellular and molecular evolution became relatively poor. Increasing attention was paid to conservation biology. Prevention and control of diseases was fairly well studied in periods Ⅱ （1950-1965） and Ⅳ （1978-2001）. The number of authors was highest during period Ⅳ, however, the mean number of publications per author in period Ⅳ was not as high as in period Ⅰ （1870-1949）. Generally speaking, Chinese authors dominated the authors included in SCI. However in period Ⅰ, the sole author indexed by SCI was a foreign scholar, and foreign scholars comprised 60% of indexed authors in period Ⅲ （1966-1977）.把1870—2001年来自美国“现代灵长类文献题录数据库”、“维普中文数据库”及“中国灵长类研究文献题录”的资料按4个时期(I:1870—1949;II:1950—1965;III:1966—1977;IV:1978—2001)分类整理。此外,使用了“科学引文数据库(扩展版)”。结果如下:(1)1870—2001年共有2052篇文献,2个文献数量高峰分别出现于1950—1965和1978—2001年;科研部门所发表的论文占54.2%,并随时间而增加;而国外部门则随之减少。(2)2052篇文献中,超过9%的文献为SCI所收录,其中1966—1977年被SCI收录的文献百分比最高;在全部被SCI收录的文献中又以科研部门的占优势(59.1%);但国外部门则以其30.1%的文献被SCI收录而领先。(3)统计了灵长类研究9个领域文献百分比及其变化,其中1978—2001间生态学和行为、神经生物学、繁殖和饲养快速发展;化石灵长类、形态学和解剖学减少;分类及分布、细胞及分子进化显得不甚突出;在第II时期和第IV时期疾病防治研究相当多;保护生物学得到越来越多的关注。第IV时期作者数量最多,但每个作者的文献平均数却不如第I时期。一般地说,在SCI收录的作者中以中国作者居多,但在第I时期唯一被SCI收录的作者则是一名外国学者;在第III时期外国作者占被收录作者数的60%。
