Abstract
BACKGROUND
In the rapidly evolving landscape of psychiatric research, 2023 marked another year of significant progress globally, with the World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) experiencing notable expansion and influence.
AIM
To conduct a comprehensive visualization and analysis of the articles published in the WJP throughout 2023. By delving into these publications, the aim is to determine the valuable insights that can illuminate pathways for future research endeavors in the field of psychiatry.
METHODS
A selection process led to the inclusion of 107 papers from the WJP published in 2023, forming the dataset for the analysis. Employing advanced visualization techniques, this study mapped the knowledge domains represented in these papers.
RESULTS
The findings revealed a prevalent focus on key topics such as depression, mental health, anxiety, schizophrenia, and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019. Additionally, through keyword clustering, it became evident that these papers were predominantly focused on exploring mental health disorders, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and related factors. Noteworthy contributions hailed authors in regions such as China, the United Kingdom, United States, and Turkey. Particularly, the paper garnered the highest number of citations, while the American Psychiatric Association was the most cited reference.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the WJP continue in its efforts to enhance the quality of papers published in the field of psychiatry. Additionally, there is a pressing need to delve into the potential applications of digital interventions and artificial intelligence within the discipline.
