Abstract：As a scientific research institution under the Department of Science and Technology of Xizang Autono-mous Region,the Institute of Plateau Biology of the Xizang Autonomous Region focuses on the fields of biological resources and biosecurity,and has made important contributions to the four major events in Xizang.In the new histor-ical period of comprehensively promoting the reform of scientific and technological innovation,summarizing and ana-lyzing the scientific research achievements of the institute can provide an important reference for formulating a rea-sonable development strategy of the institute.Based on the key words of the institution(the Institute of Plateau Biol-ogy of the Xizang Autonomous Region),this paper searched the relevant papers collected in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and the core database of the Web of Science from 1989 to 2023,and analyzed the research development stage,discipline category,research field and co-authorship of the institute by biblimetric meth-od.The analysis results show that:(1)In the past 34 years,the research institute has published a total of 348 papers,including 263 in Chinese core journals and 85 in SCI-indexed journals.(2)According to the publication of the docu-ment,the development of the institute can be divided into four stages,namely the initial period(before 2000),the rap-id development period(2001-2009),the stable development period(2010-2016),and the high-quality develop-ment period(2017-2023).(3)The research fields of the institute are relatively broad,involving biology,agriculture,and chemical engineering and other disciplines,and has in-depth research on plateau biodiversity and biosecurity,ge-netic information,and phylogeny.(4)The co-authors who work closely with the institute mainly include relevant re-search institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences,universities outside the Xizang Autonomous Region,and universi-ties and research institutions within the region,highlighting the breadth and depth of the institute's scientific research cooperation.In the past 34 years,the institute has made remarkable scientific research achievements,but at the same time,it faces problems such as insufficient continuous scientific research output,weak scientific research ability,and lack of scientific research talents.Therefore,in the face of new challenges and opportunities,the institute should deep-en the research on advantageous research topics such as plateau biodiversity,improve the quality and sustainability of scientific research outcomes,and expand the scope of cooperation with domestic and foreign scientific research insti-tutions.It should also focus on the practical application of scientific research results,so as to promote scientific and technological progress and biodiversity conservation in Xizang.
