“…The WHO was listed in both lists of most publications and citations, reflecting the attention paid to the health-related SDG 3 [11]. WHO's critical role in promoting and achieving SDGs, especially SDG 3, was emphasized in other bibliometric studies [56,58,80]. The leading institutes with the most citations differed from those with most publications.…”

“…In fact, this has been underlined in many SDG-related studies, in which some stated how vital science and technology were for SDGs [83,84], while some other papers focused on the roles of science and technology in itemized issues such as food security and safety [85,86], risk reduction [87], and industrial innovation and upgrade [88]. A relatively high number of citations of business and economics papers could reflect the real motivations of the commercial and financial sectors to adopt SDGs, as explained by the UN and many firms and consulting compa-nies [57][58][59]. Those medicine and public health-related fields demonstrated how SDG 3 was of significant concern again.…”

“…As more and more research articles accumulate, bibliometrics or scientometrics can help understand the trends and content of SDG-related research papers and identify the gaps. Some studies were carried out with a general scope of the SDGs without focusing on specific themes [12,[50][51][52], while more were conducted with respect to a variety of topics, e.g., general management [53], supply chain [54], entrepreneurship [55], health and well-being [56,57], suicide mortality rate [58], SARS and COVID-19 [59], biofuel [60], agri-food [61], education [62][63][64], and peace-sustainability nexus [65], to name a few. As some systemic studies aiming at examining the progress and applicability of the SDGs were carried out in relatively early years, an updated analysis offering the trends and context of SDG-related articles with more accumulated information would be valuable.…”

This study employed a comprehensive systematic review of the literature (SRL) process with the Content Analysis Toolkits for Academic Research (CATAR) for conducting a bibliometric analysis of the 2814 general SDG-related papers and 92 review papers selected from the Web of Science database from 2013 to 2022. The overview analysis found that the US and UK took the lead in publication and citation. The WHO and several universities were identified as the most prominent institutes around the globe. The field distribution of the most cited papers revealed the existence of a “strong sustainability” paradigm and the importance of science and technology. A landscape of 1123 papers was included in eight clusters according to the bibliographic coupling algorithms in the Multi-stage Document Clustering (MSDC) process. These clusters were then categorized into three groups, “synergies and trade-offs”, “networking”, and “systems analysis”, demonstrated in the theme maps. As for the 92 SDG-related review papers, most were shaped based on literature analysis without specified countries. Moreover, SDG 3 was identified as that exclusively studied in most papers. The information presented is expected to help research scholars, public sectors, and practitioners monitor, gather, check, analyze, and use the growing volume of SDG-related academic articles.

“…The suicide rate is an indicator of the psychological and social wellbeing of a population or community, and a reduction in this variable is a meaningful goal of social and economic development (World Health Organization, 2021a;da Costa et al, 2022). Though the factors involved in an individual suicide are complex and not easily amenable to linear analysis, variations in suicide at a regional or national level are likely to reflect differences in social and economic conditions (Mueller et al, 2021).…”

The association between nation-level social and economic indices and suicide rates: A pilot study

Ever since the pioneering work of Emile Durkheim, it has been known that regional or national suicide rates can be influenced by a variety of social and economic factors. Recent research has found a robust association between two country-level economic indices—gross national product and unemployment rate—and suicide rates, particularly in men. However, the association between other country-level social indices—such as measures of social integration, inequality, environmental preservation and political freedom—and suicide rates has not been studied at the cross-national level. In the current study, national suicide rates for men and women were examined in relation to seven indices measuring subjective wellbeing, sustainable development, type of political regime, economic and gender inequality, and social capital. It was found that the Happy Planet Index, a composite measure of subjective wellbeing and sustainable development, was negatively associated with suicide rates independent of gender, and even after adjusting for possible confounding factors. Economic inequality was associated with suicide in men, and social capital was associated with suicide in women. Moreover, the strength and direction of the associations observed between socioeconomic indices and suicide varied across income groups. These results highlight the need for a closer evaluation of the link between large-scale (“macro”) social factors and individual (“micro”) psychological factors, as well as the importance of integrating these factors into suicide prevention programmes at the national level.

“…They also found a rapid increase in output in the last decade. Recent bibliometric studies on individual mental health disorders have included ones on depression [3][4][5], suicide & self-harm [6,7], Alzheimer's disease [8][9][10] and addiction [11][12][13][14]. Most of these papers described the growth in the world literature, or in individual countries or regions.…”

Mental health disorders research in the countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), 2008–17, and the disease burden: Bibliometric study

2021

The 57 countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation are suffering from an increasing burden from mental health disorders. We investigated their research outputs during 2008–17 in the Web of Science in order to compare them with the burden from different mental health disorders and in different countries. The papers were identified with a complex filter based on title words and journals. Their addresses were parsed to give fractional country counts, show international collaboration, and also reveal country concentration on individual disorders and types of research. We found 17,920 papers in the decade, with output quadrupling. Foreign contributions accounted for 15% of addresses; they were from Europe (7%), Canada + USA (5%) and elsewhere (3%). They were much greater for Qatar and Uganda (> 60%), but less than 10% for Iran and Turkey. Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were over-researched, but suicide and self-harm were seriously neglected, relative to their mental health disorder burdens. Although OIC research has been expanding rapidly, some countries have published little on this subject, perhaps because of stigma. Turkey collaborates relatively little internationally and as a result its papers received few citations. Among the large OIC countries, it has almost the highest relative mental health disorders burden, which is also growing rapidly.
