dc.description.abstractAimThis study examines the research on suicide in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, analyzing 1000 publications from MENA countries. It reveals trends, citation patterns, collaboration networks, and thematic areas, providing insights into the region's scholarly contributions to the global public health challenge of suicide.Subject and methodsThis study analyzes suicide-related publications in the Web of Science electronic database from MENA countries, focusing on academic contributions and trends. It uses bibliometric techniques to identify key contributors, influential research topics, and the impact of MENA countries on global suicide research. The analysis includes publication trends, citation patterns, collaboration networks, and thematic areas. The study uses Boolean operators to determine relationships between terms and customize search queries.ResultsThe dataset from 1971 to 2023 shows steady growth in scholarly output, with a peak of 107 articles in 2023. Highly cited articles, such as the study by Nock et al. (Br J Psychiatry 192(2):98-105, 2008) on cross-national prevalence and risk factors for suicidal ideation, highlight the impact of certain studies. The journal Crisis: The Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention leads in articles published. Israel is a significant research hub, contributing substantially to suicide-related literature. Collaboration networks are evident, with international partnerships and ties between Israel and the USA. The study also analyzes funding agencies, revealing prevalent themes like behavior, risk factors, and depression.ConclusionThis study underscores the need for global collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches in addressing suicide research in the MENA region, highlighting the critical public health issue.
