Abstract
Summary: We investigated research activities on schizophrenia in 17 non-English speaking (13 European: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden and 4 Asian: China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) countries via a MEDLINE database survey. Despite the handicap of language, a reassuringly large number of English-written papers in research into schizophrenia have been reported; 892 papers from these countries appeared over the period 1990–1994. Among the countries investigated, Scandinavian countries in particular were found to have produced more communicable papers after taking into account the number of psychiatrists.Keywords
