Abstract：The study adopts the bibliometric methodology to investigate the scientific and technological literatures produced by six marine-related universities with the title"ocean university"(i.e.,Guangdong Ocean University,Ocean University of China,Dalian Ocean University,Shanghai Ocean University,Zhejiang Ocean University and Jiangsu Ocean University),and conducts an in-depth and systematic a-nalysis from six dimensions,namely,literatures publication time,collaborative country/region,collab-orative research institutes,discipline(research direction),major journals,and highly cited literatures.The study found that the basic scientific research implemented by China's marine universities is becom-ing increasingly active,and the Ocean University of China plays a leading role in terms of the number and quality of published papers.The frequency of collaboration between China's marine universities and foreign institutions was low,and the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the preferred institution for China's marine universities when implementing domestic collaboration.Disciplinary research imple-mented by each marine university was widely distributed.Except for Jiangsu Ocean University,the discipline development in other marine universities was relatively balanced,and their scientific and tech-nological papers were largely published in journals of JCR Quarter Ⅰ.This study contributes to compre-hensively grasping the basic scientific research status of China's marine universities,and to objective e-valuation of their critical role in the context of today's building an ocean power,therefor having great theoretical value and practical implication.
