Objectives
Schizophrenia is an organic disease and a severe mental disorder with a relatively high risk of relapse. The rising rate of schizophrenia relapse has motivated researchers and academics to innovate and develop interventions aimed at relapse prevention. This bibliometric study sought to examine the publication trends in schizophrenia relapse prevention from 1973 to 2023, assess the contribution of international collaborations across various journals, identify the most influential authors and articles, and forecast future developments in this field.
Methods
The study included 683 articles obtained from the Scopus database, analyzed using VOSviewer software, and visualized with Tableau.
Results
Reports of schizophrenia relapse prevention strategies have increased significantly over the last 3 decades. However, fluctuations persist, as evidenced by the annual number of publications ranging from 25 to 40 within the past 5 years. Nevertheless, this increasing trend underscores the sustained interest in this area of research. Regarding contribution size, the United States produced the largest volume of publications on this subject. John M. Kane authored the most articles, while Stefan Leucht exhibited the highest h-index. Frequently used keywords in this field include “relapse AND schizophrenia” AND “prevention.”
Conclusions
These results represent an important reference for determining the current state of research on schizophrenia relapse prevention and future research directions.
Summary
Key Message
- Significant Growth in Schizophrenia Relapse Research: The study revealed a notable increase in research on schizophrenia relapse prevention over the past 40 years.
- Key Contributions: The United States is identified as the largest contributor to this body of research, with John M. Kane being the most prolific author.
- Effective Prevention Strategies: Family interventions, the use of digital technology, and antipsychotic treatments are highlighted as the primary strategies to prevent relapse.
- Bibliometric Approach: A bibliometric analysis of 683 articles provides insights into key trends, collaborations, and research directions for future studies on schizophrenia relapse prevention.

OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to develop search filters able to retrieve the South Korean scientific output and relating the fields of public health, preventive medicine, and physical education, activity, fitness, exercise and sport in MEDLINE between 2000 and 2007. METHODS: The search filters were constructed and applied in MEDLINE accessed through PubMed according to the affiliation and subject. The language and place of publication were identified and the evaluation of the geographical filter performance was done. RESULTS: The search format was successfully elaborated and applied, and the articles originated, published in Korea and/or abroad focusing on the fields of public health, preventive medicine, physical education, activity, fitness, exercise and sport, added to MEDLINE between 2000 and 2007 were retrieved. Publications in six languages originated in South Korea were detected. CONCLUSIONS: A geographic search filter determined the South Korean research output, and combined with additional filters focused on specific areas. The dynamics of the scientific output followed an increased evolution in all categories. Articles were written mainly in English/Korean. Further research is recommended on developing search strategies in order to retrieve precise and reliable information.
