Abstract:	Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting more than 21 million people worldwide. Scientific collaborations arc required to research schizophrenia. However, there have been limited publications to date investigating scientific collaborations in schizophrenia research or reporting individual researchers achievements(IRA) for authors. This study aimed to investigate the pattern of coauthor collaborations in schizophrenia research. We conducted a bibliometric study of international scientific publications on schizophrenia. About 57,964 abstracts were identified and downloaded from MEDUNE. All were examined using social network analysis (SNA) on February 20, 2018. The clusters of author nationalities, the authors, and the medical subject headings (MESH) terms were presented on Google Maps. A total of 36,934 articles met the inclusion criteria. The mean number of authors per article increased from 4.5 in 2008 to 64 in 2017. The proportion of published articles decreased in North America from 46.7% in 2008, to 32.3% in 2017. In contrast, the proportion of published articles in Asia increased from 14.5% in 1998 to 23.9% in 2017. Among the countries generating schizophrenia research the most prominent is China (corr. -0.98), followed by India (corr. - 0.94), and France (corr. - 0.93). The representative of the biggest cluster is the author Michael F Green from the United States. The top three MESH terms are physiopathology, schizophrenic psychology, and complications. The scientific interest in schizophrenia remains significant. The application of bibliometric indicators of production is evident in the growth of scientific literature on the topic of schizophrenia.
