Aims: Research on second-generation antipsychotic drugs (SGAs) has experienced great development in last decades. We did a bibliometric study on the scientific publications on SGAs in Japan. Methods: With the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases, we chose papers published from Japan with SGA descriptors. Price's law and Bradford's law has been used as bibliometric indicators for quantitating production and dispersion, respectively, of published papers on SGAs. We also calculated the participation index of different countries, and correlated those bibliometric data with some social and health data from Japan (such as total per capita expenditure on health and gross domestic expenditure on research and development). Results: A sum of 669 original documents were published from Japan from 1982 to 2011. Those results fulfilled Price's law, with scientific production on SGAs showing exponential growth (correlation coefficient r = 0.9261, as against an r = 0.8709 after linear adjustment). The most studied SGAs in Japan were risperidone (n = 192), aripiprazole (n = 109), and olanzapine (n = 106). Division of documents into Bradford zones yielded a nucleus occupied exclusively by the Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry (49 articles). Those publications were in 157 different journals. Seven of the first 10 frequently used journals had an impact factor of being greater than 3. Conclusions: The SGA publications in Japan have been through exponential growth over the studied period, without evidence of reaching a saturation point.

“…Figure 6 shows that the higher the spending on health, the greater the research production, across countries. Particular, country's scientific production in a given field tends to reflect a science research and development begun some years before the period analysed [23,24] . However, the low ratios of countries such as Australia, France or Netherlands, is striking.…”

“…Despite their methodological limitations, bibliometric studies are useful tools for assessing the social and scientific relevance of a given discipline or field [20] . Our group has studied, using a bibliometric approach, the evolution of scientific literature in psychiatry by specific research groups, on different psychiatric disorders, on aspects related to the discipline, and on specific therapeutic tools in the field of psychopharmacology [21][22][23][24][25] . Recently, we have analysed the evolution of the scientific literature on AADs made in different countries of Asia-Pacific region n (number of documents of database) [26][27][28][29][30][31] .…”

Background:We carried out a bibliometric study on the scientific publications on atypical antipsychotic drugs (AADs) from India. Methods: Using the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases, we performed the selection of documents produced in India. We applied bibliometric indicators of production and dispersion, namely Price's law on the increase of scientific literature and Bradford's law, respectively. We also calculated the participation index (PI) of different countries. The bibliometric data have also been correlated with relevant social and health data from India (including total per capita expenditure on health and gross domestic expenditure on research and development). Results: In this study, we identified 639 original documents published between 1998 and 2013 from India. Our results indicated fulfilment of Price's law (correlation coefficient r = 0.9619 after exponential adjustment vs. r = 0.9382 after linear adjustment). The most widely studied AADs were olanzapine (173 documents), clozapine (117), risperidone (100) and quetiapine (65). Publications appeared in 221 different journals, with only 4 of the top 10 journals having an impact factor greater than 2. Division into Bradford zones yielded a nucleus occupied by the Indian Journal of Psychiatry (53 articles). It is remarkable that the 27.38% of the production is devoted to "medical/pharmaceutical chemistry" field. India has the largest ratio PI AAD / PI Psychiatry and Neurology in the world's 12 most productive countries in biomedicine and health sciences. Conclusions: The publications on AADs in India have undergone exponential growth over the studied period, without evidence of reaching a saturation point.
