It is obvious that the quantities and quality of the achievements in medical research in the past 11 years have a clear upward trend considering the findings about self-regulated learning of medical students in major domestic educational journals from 2005 to 2015. The contents mainly focus on the teaching modes and systems of self-regulated learning

the introduction and import of foreign research results and the ability of self-regulated learning of medical students. The research category is mainly on the study of overall medical students. While the basic and clinical specialties are also involved. The theoretical research is a little more than empirical research. At present

the lack of depth in theoretical research and less comprehensive empirical research is waiting to resolve. Also the problems contain the deficiency of depth and breadth

lack of landmark results

similarity of research results

insufficiency of innovation and authority is not enough and so on.
