Mapping structural and research trends in schizophrenia and metabolic syndrome: A bibliometric analysis
An escalating body of research is directing its focus toward schizophrenia (SZ) patients who grapple with metabolic syndrome (MS). By employing bibliometric approach, this study comprehensively assessed the research landscape and prevailing trends within SZ and MS-related fields. All relevant publications related to SZ and MS were systematically extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database up to August 15, 2023. Data analysis was conducted using software such as VOSviewer, Citespace, Pajek, and R software, as well as online bibliometric website. A total of 2651 publications on SZ and MS were collected, with the United States emerging as the primary contributor (n = 1970). Pivotal international research collaborations were observed, notably between the United States and the United Kingdom (n = 56). The French Research Universities exhibited prolific contributions. Schizophrenia Research emerged as the foremost influential journal in this domain. In addition to “schizophrenia” and “metabolic syndrome,” keywords such as “atypical antipsychotics” and “body weight” featured prominently within the literature. Our study underscores the growing significance of SZ with MS research. These findings collectively shed light on the dynamic and evolving nature of research pertaining to SZ and MS, reflecting an unwavering commitment to unravel the complexities and implications inherent in these intertwined domains.
