Abstract: In order to investigate the situation of tobacco chemistry papers from Tobacco Science & Technology in international academic exchange, the citation of tobacco chemistry papers published from 1976 to 2016 in Tobacco Science & Technology was statistically analyzed with bibliometric methods on the basis of Web of Science(WOS)database. The citation data were studied in view of two angles:cited papers and citing papers. The results showed that:1)A total of 101 tobacco chemistry papers were cited in WOS database, in which 38 papers were financed by various types of funds. The first authors of cited papers were from 40 institutions in 18 provinces/municipalities of China. The main research fields involved were chemical composition and analysis of tobacco and tobacco smoke, tobacco raw materials and auxiliary materials, tobacco processing technology and tobacco products. 2)There were 122 citing papers, their first authors were widely distributed in 74 institutions from 9 countries, such as China, US, Japan and India. Among the 122 citing papers, 118 papers were from 58 academic journals retrieved by SCI, SSCI or EI with the highest impact factor (IF) of 6.198. The overall academic level of tobacco chemistry papers from Tobacco Science & Technology is high, they are gaining more and more attention and approval in many disciplines at home and abroad, and their international academic influences are extending day by day.
