“…ED prevention research, developing since the mid-1990s, has focused on medical and psychiatric perspectives, with emphasis on diagnosis and treatment. Historical, retrospective bibliometric analyses of ED studies by Park & Kim (2022), Almenara (2022), Shah, Ahmad, Khan & Sun (2022), covering the last 40 years, highlighted that the diagnosis, epidemiology, course and outcome of ED are the priority components of ED research, and that the majority of the most highly-cited papers were related to either the development of assessment instruments or the course and outcome of ED.…”

The research on eating disorder (ED) prevention, evolving since the mid-1990s has primarily focused on medical and psychiatric perspectives, emphasising diagnosis and treatment. At the same, there is a growing recognition that prevention efforts, despite their critical importance, are underrepresented in academic literature. This study aims to promote a more holistic approach, integrating education as a pivotal socio-cultural factor in ED prevention. The study delineates a shift from a predominantly medical model to a more inclusive socio-cultural framework. It stresses the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and emphasises the critical role of educational strategies in the broader context of ED prevention. The aim of this article is to conduct a review of the scientific literature in order to provide a clearer picture of general research trends and paradigms in ED, and to expand the role and relevance of ED prevention in an educational context. While acknowledging that social environments including micro, meso, macro systems influence the development of ED, this paper focuses on the meso environment, highlighting the importance of schools and school professionals in preventing ED.

Digital technologies have been used for a vast amount of bibliometric analysis research. Although these technologies have made scientific investigation more accessible and efficient, scholars now face the daunting task of sifting through an overwhelming number of documents. This study aims to identify bibliometric research analysis's primary topics, categories, and latent topics from a global perspective. This study utilized topic modeling techniques to analyze the abstracts of 16,039 eligible papers published between 1977 and 2023 in the Scopus database. Through the use of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, the study was able to identify four distinct research topics and observe how they have evolved over time. The research topic has shifted its focus from individual concepts and words to relationships between nodes and conceptual, intellectual, and social structures. The study’s findings have significant implications for bibliometric analysis-related research, providing valuable insights into trends and patterns in bibliometric analysis content within large digital article archives. The LDA has proven to be an efficient tool for analyzing these trends and patterns quickly. This study's novel approach considers factors for word embedding usage and optimal topic numbers. It focuses on a full understanding of the LDA results and combines statistical analysis, domain knowledge, and temporal exploration to better understand how data structures work.

“…While several bibliometric studies have been conducted on ED, none have specifically focused on the primary care perspective and stigma (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the scientific trends and research patterns regarding ED, primary care, and stigma.…”

Eating disorders (EDs) are a growing concern affecting millions worldwide. Early detection and treatment are crucial, but stigma can prevent people from seeking help. Primary care providers can play a critical role in early detection by coordinating care with other professionals. Understanding the research landscape on EDs, primary care, and stigma is essential for identifying knowledge gaps to direct future research and improve management. In this study, we aimed to analyze the scientific trends and patterns in research about EDs, primary care, and stigma. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science database to collect articles published between May 1986 and May 2023. Bibliometric indicators were utilized to examine authorship, collaboration patterns, and influential papers. Topic analysis was performed to identify stigma-related terms within the dataset. A total of 541 research articles were analyzed, and it was found that the average number of publications per year has increased linearly from nearly zero in 1986 to 41 in 2022. One of the study’s main findings is that despite this linear increase over the years, the subject of stigma did not take a prominent place in the literature. Only a few stigma concepts could be identified with the topic analysis. The authors in the field are also interested in; screening, neurotic symptoms, training, adolescent, obesity-related conditions, and family. One-third of all publications were from 15 journals. However, only two of them were primary healthcare journals. Leading authors’ collaborations were another critical finding from the network analysis. This may help to expand primary care related EDs research to end the mental health stigma. This study provides insights into the research trends and patterns regarding eating disorders, primary care, and stigma. Our findings highlight the need to address primary care’s impact and stigma on EDs. The identified research gaps can guide future studies to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of eating disorders in primary care settings.
