ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the developmental trends and research hotspots in mental health through Bibliometrics and word frequency analysis of Chinese Mental Health Journal.Methods:Bibliographic Item Co-Occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB) was used to analyze funds,authors,authors'institutions and key words of articles in Chinese Mental Health Journal between 2007 and 2016.SPSS22.0 was used to conduct multidimensional scaling analysis for high frequency key words.Results:A total of 2075 articles were published by Chinese Mental Health Journal in recent ten years.Forty-nine high frequency key words were extracted.Multidimensional scaling analysis showed that the articles of the journal involved four fields.Core key words of the first field were quality of life and depression.Research on the key words of the first field was at the center of mental health research of the journal.Core key words of the second field were self-esteem and mental health;core key words of the third field were subjective well-being and suicide;core key words of the fourth field were influential factors and executive function.Researches on the key words of the second to fourth field were around the center of mental health research of the journal.Researches such as the aged were on the edge of mental health research of the journal.Conclusion:Recent ten years' researches in Chinese Mental Health Journal reflect diversity in research topics.Topics such as quality of life and depression attract more attention,but researches on topics such as mental health of the aged are relatively weak.
