Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: We carried out a bibliometric study on the scientific papers related to second-generation antipsychotic drugs (SGAs) in Malaysia. METHODS: With the SCOPUS database, we selected those documents made in Malaysia whose title included descriptors related to SGAs. We applied bibliometric indicators of production and dispersion, as Price's law and Bradford's law, respectively. We also calculated the participation index of the different countries. The bibliometric data were also been correlated with some social and health data from Malaysia (total per capita expenditure on health and gross domestic expenditure on R&D). RESULTS: . Totally, 63 different journals were used, but only one in the top four journals had an impact factor being greater than 3. CONCLUSION: The publications on SGAs in Malaysia have undergone exponential growth, without evidence a saturation point.
