Abstract: The research performance of China Meteorological Administration (CMA) since 1983 has been reviewed using scientometric methods, based on Web of Science data. The analysis results show that the CMA has demonstrated that CMA stuff are more and more active in doing science researches, its research output grew steadily in the period of the 10^th 5-year plan and the growth continued during the 11^th 5-year plan period, in terms of number of articles published, and citation received, when the growth rate is slightly higher than the overall China research output growth in Web of Science data. The analysis results also show that the CMA is among the top 1% research institutes globally (No.1667 by # of papers, and No.2541 by citation of the 4381). In the Geoscience domain, the CMA ranked No.91 among the 449 top 1% institutes by number of articles, and No.249 by citation. The CMA’s global collaboration network includes over 810 universities and institutes from 50 major countries and regions and gets cited by about 3000 universities and institutes from 130 countries and regions. Because CMA is an unified scientific research institution, it is suggested that it is necessary to require its faculty to use standard institute name in authoring papers, and enhance its library services to better support and measurement of the research output.
