Summary
This bibliometric analysis of Non-suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) research reveals fluctuating publication growth and identifies key contributors. Emerging frontiers include gender differences, diagnosis, and emotional dysregulation in NSSI.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatry and Psychology
- Bibliometrics
- Public Health
Background:
- Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant public health concern.
- Understanding the research landscape is crucial for advancing interventions and prevention strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of Non-suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) research.
- To identify research hotspots, trends, and cutting-edge issues in the field.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 799 NSSI publications from 2002-2022.
- Utilized Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database.
- Employed CiteSpace and VOSviewer for visual analysis of institutions, countries, journals, authors, references, and keywords.
Main Results:
- Annual publications show fluctuating growth, with the USA and Harvard University as leading contributors.
- Psychiatry Research is the most productive and co-cited journal.
- Michael Kaess and Matthew K. Nock are prominent authors; Swannell SV et al. authored the most cited article.
- Keywords include harm, adolescents, and prevalence; frontier research areas are gender difference, diagnosis, and dysregulation.
Conclusions:
- This study provides a comprehensive overview of NSSI research.
- Offers valuable insights into current status, hot spots, and emerging trends for researchers in the field.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

01:52Regression Toward the Mean
6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Survival curves are graphical representations that depict the survival experience of a population over time, offering an intuitive way to track the proportion of individuals who remain event-free at each time point. These curves are widely used in fields such as medicine, public health, and reliability engineering to visualize and compare survival probabilities across different groups or conditions.

The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
