In this study, a quantitative analysis was done to evaluate the research performance concerning biochemistry in United Kingdom. Analysis variable including authorship, collaboration, institutes and citation pattern. Methodology The data for this study were based on Science Citation Index (SCI) database on the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A. The research papers analysis were obtained upon literature search with defined keyword “Vet Gen Hosp” as a part of the address.
