【 摘 要 】

The study of clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) has progressed rapidly over the last decades and has developed into a significant branch of schizophrenia research. Organizing the information about this rapidly growing subject through bibliometric analysis enables us to gain a better understanding of current research trends and future directions to be pursued. Electronic searches from January 1991 to December 2020 yielded 5,601 studies, and included 1,637 original articles. After processing the data, we were able to determine that this field has grown significantly in a short period of time. It has been confirmed that researchers, institutions, and countries are collaborating closely to conduct research; moreover, these networks are becoming increasingly complex over time. Additionally, there was a shift over time in the focus of the research subject from the prodrome, recognition, prevention, diagnosis to cognition, neuroimaging, neurotransmitters, cannabis, and stigma. We should aim for collaborative studies in which various countries participate, thus covering a wider range of races and cultures than would be covered by only a few countries.
