BACKGROUND: The term 'schizophrenic' can be used in society for the purpose of insult and humiliation. In scientific studies, it can often be used to refer to individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, although this is not intentional. This usage leads to the normalization and spread of stigmatizing language. In this study, bibliometric analysis of publications containing the term 'schizophrenic' was performed.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Articles published between 2005 and 2024 that contained the term 'schizophrenic' were retrieved from the Web of Science database. Characteristics of the articles (e.g., year, author, institution, country, keyword, scientific category, and citation per article) were analysed. VOSviewer software was used to visualize various bibliographic coupling networks on related data.
RESULTS: The search for the term 'schizophrenic' resulted in 34,506 documents in the all fields category at all times. After excluding non-original/review articles, documents not in SCI-E, not in English, and published before 2005, 7,836 articles remained. While the number of articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' was 581 in 2005, this number decreased to 126 in 2024. While the number of citations to articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' was 279 in 2005, this number increased to 14,689 in 2024. The author with the most articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' was Xiang Yang Zhang. Hans-Juergen Moeller's articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' received the most reference. The institutions with the most articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' were the University of London, King's College London, and Harvard University, respectively. The journals that published the most articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' were Schizophrenia Research, Psychiatry Research, and Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, respectively.
CONCLUSION: This study is the first bibliometric analysis that examines articles containing the term 'schizophrenic' with various features. Scholars have a great responsibility in the reduction/prevention of stigmatization in schizophrenia. They should begin by avoiding using the term 'schizophrenic' in scientific studies.
