Abstract: Suicide is a global mental health problem. In recent years, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and suicides have increased in children and adolescents. In this population, cyberbullying is a public health problem that has grown along the increase in use of devices with internet access. Cybervictimization is related to negative health effects, even including suicidal ideation or suicide in cyberbullied individuals. This study is the first bibliometric analysis on scientific literature related to cyberbullying and suicide based on the traditional laws of bibliometrics. The aim was to generate a global overview of the research related to this object of study. We analysed 242 documents published in journals indexed in the Web of Science, examining the trend followed by annual publications, identifying the prolific (most productive) and prominent (prolific co-authors with one or more papers between most cited papers) co-authors, leading countries and journals, the most cited documents and the most used author keywords. Annual publications followed an exponential growth trend (R[superscript 2] = 89.2%), meaning that there is a great interest in the scientific community for this study object. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Psychiatry Research were the journals with most document published. Baiden, P. (prolific), Kowalski, R. (most cited), Hinjuja, S. and Patchin, J. (prominents) were the most highlighted co-authors, reference authors on the subject. Most scientific output originated in the USA. Five thematic lines were identified among the author keywords. The results of this research show the growing interest of the scientific community in this topic, along with useful information for researchers and publishers, identifying relevant co-authors, journals interested in the topic and emerging lines of research, highlighting self-harm, cyber-victimisation, suicide risks and suicidal behaviours as the most recent thematic lines.

In recent years, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and suicides have increased in children and adolescents. In this population, cyberbullying is a public health problem that has grown along the increase in use of devices with internet access. Cybervictimization is related to negative health effects, even including suicidal ideation or suicide in cyberbullied individuals. This study is the first bibliometric analysis on scientific literature related to cyberbullying and suicide based on the traditional laws of bibliometrics. The aim was to generate a global overview of the research related to this object of study. We analysed 242 documents published in journals indexed in the Web of Science, examining the trend followed by annual publications, identifying the prolific (most productive) and prominent (prolific co‐authors with one or more papers between most cited papers) co‐authors, leading countries and journals, the most cited documents and the most used author keywords. Annual publications followed an exponential growth trend (R2 = 89.2%), meaning that there is a great interest in the scientific community for this study object. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Psychiatry Research were the journals with most document published. Baiden, P. (prolific), Kowalski, R. (most cited), Hinjuja, S. and Patchin, J. (prominents) were the most highlighted co‐authors, reference authors on the subject. Most scientific output originated in the USA.

In 2020, suicides were the second leading cause of death among children and adolescents aged 10–14 in the United States (Ehlman et al., [<reflink idref="bib25" id="ref6">25</reflink>]). In Germany, a past survey of children and adolescents aged 10–20 years found that between 6.5% and 9% reported suicide attempts (Becker & Correll, [<reflink idref="bib10" id="ref7">10</reflink>]). In another European country, Spain, data on suicides in children and adolescents have worsened since the start of the Covid‐19 pandemic, with suicides doubling between 2019 and 2020 in children under 15 years of age (Fundación Salud Mental España, [<reflink idref="bib30" id="ref8">30</reflink>]). However, it is from the age of 15 onwards that there is a worrying increase in suicide rates, with suicide rates between the ages of 15 and 19 up to 7.9 times higher than between the ages of 10 and 14 (Roh et al., [<reflink idref="bib71" id="ref9">71</reflink>]), coinciding with the transition between primary and secondary education (Williams et al., [<reflink idref="bib90" id="ref10">90</reflink>]). On the other hand, in both age groups, as in adults, there is an imbalance in suicide rates by gender, with the male suicide rate being between 1.6 and 3 times higher than the female suicide rate (Roh et al., [<reflink idref="bib71" id="ref11">71</reflink>]; Wasserman et al., [<reflink idref="bib89" id="ref12">89</reflink>]) because of all these figures and their consequences on society, suicide is considered a global mental health and public health problem (Wasserman et al., [<reflink idref="bib89" id="ref13">89</reflink>]; S. Z. Williams et al., [<reflink idref="bib91" id="ref14">91</reflink>]).</p> <p>Another public health problem among young people and adolescents that has spread in recent years is cyberbullying (Aboujaoude et al., [<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref15">1</reflink>]; Nixon, [<reflink idref="bib59" id="ref16">59</reflink>]). Cyberbullying, or electronic bullying, is a type of violence (Bottino et al., [<reflink idref="bib12" id="ref17">12</reflink>]) committed by one or more individuals on others who cannot easily defend themselves (Menesini & Nocentini, [<reflink idref="bib54" id="ref18">54</reflink>]; Smith et al., [<reflink idref="bib79" id="ref19">79</reflink>]), to cause harm, through teasing, spreading rumours, threats, repeated sending of aggressive messages, verbal or visual violence, impersonation, account falsification, sexual harassment, or other similar harmful conduct by electronic means, such as computers, tablets or smartphones, on websites, mobile applications, video games, social networks (Bailin et al., [<reflink idref="bib8" id="ref20">8</reflink>]; Coyne et al., [<reflink idref="bib20" id="ref21">20</reflink>]; Sampasa‐Kanyinga & Hamilton, [<reflink idref="bib73" id="ref22">73</reflink>]; Sedgwick et al., [<reflink idref="bib76" id="ref23">76</reflink>]; Smith et al., [<reflink idref="bib79" id="ref24">79</reflink>]; Tozzo et al., [<reflink idref="bib82" id="ref25">82</reflink>]; Zhu et al., [<reflink idref="bib93" id="ref26">93</reflink>]). Among the risk factors for bullying, personal factors have been distinguished: gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, or health conditions; and situational factors: parent‐child relationships or interpersonal relationships, with a higher risk among women, sexual minorities, young people with depression or other pathologies, as well as young people with family problems or without social support (Larrain Mariño et al., [<reflink idref="bib50" id="ref27">50</reflink>]; Wright & Wachs, [<reflink idref="bib92" id="ref28">92</reflink>]; Zhu et al., [<reflink idref="bib93" id="ref29">93</reflink>]). However, protective factors have also been documented: empathy, emotional intelligence, social and family support, and school climate reduce the risk of cyberbullying or the consequences of cyberbullying (Bai et al., [<reflink idref="bib7" id="ref30">7</reflink>]; Wright & Wachs, [<reflink idref="bib92" id="ref31">92</reflink>]; Zhu et al., [<reflink idref="bib93" id="ref32">93</reflink>]). Prevention and intervention in school bullying are elements that can prevent cyberbullying, given that most adolescents who suffer from school bullying also suffer from cyberbullying and being advisable to approach all types of bullying and victimisation experiences holistically and not in isolation (Pichel et al., [<reflink idref="bib66" id="ref33">66</reflink>]; Schneider et al., [<reflink idref="bib74" id="ref34">74</reflink>]).</p> <p>Cybervictimisation in adolescents has been associated with numerous negative effects on the life of the bullied: loss of academic performance, loss of self‐esteem, substance use, physical and mental health problems such as psychological distress, depression, anxiety or stress, life dissatisfaction, and even self‐harm, suicidal ideation and behaviour, or the completion of suicide (Campbell et al., [<reflink idref="bib16" id="ref35">16</reflink>]; Erreygers et al., [<reflink idref="bib27" id="ref36">27</reflink>]; Hébert et al., [<reflink idref="bib37" id="ref37">37</reflink>]; Hinduja & Patchin, [<reflink idref="bib38" id="ref38">38</reflink>]; J. Huang et al., [<reflink idref="bib40" id="ref39">40</reflink>]; John et al., [<reflink idref="bib44" id="ref40">44</reflink>]; Kowalski et al., [<reflink idref="bib48" id="ref41">48</reflink>]; Medrano et al., [<reflink idref="bib53" id="ref42">53</reflink>]; Schneider et al., [<reflink idref="bib74" id="ref43">74</reflink>]; Selkie et al., [<reflink idref="bib77" id="ref44">77</reflink>]). Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are higher in secondary school youth who have experienced cyberbullying than in those who have not, suggesting that suicide prevention and intervention are essential within comprehensive school‐based bullying response programmes (Hinduja & Patchin, [<reflink idref="bib38" id="ref45">38</reflink>]; Schneider et al., [<reflink idref="bib74" id="ref46">74</reflink>]; Van Geel et al., [<reflink idref="bib33" id="ref47">33</reflink>]). In cyber‐victims, sadness, depressive symptoms, anxiety, dissatisfaction with life, or hostility, the latter especially in young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, could be signs that could indicate to teachers and family members that suicidal ideation or attempts may occur. (Liu et al., [<reflink idref="bib51" id="ref48">51</reflink>]; Martínez‐Monteagudo et al., [<reflink idref="bib52" id="ref49">52</reflink>]; Romero et al., [<reflink idref="bib72" id="ref50">72</reflink>]).</p> <p>Several bibliometric studies related to cyberbullying have been found in the scientific literature (Cretu & Morandau, [<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref51">21</reflink>]; González‐Moreno et al., [<reflink idref="bib34" id="ref52">34</reflink>]; Peker & Yalçın, [<reflink idref="bib64" id="ref53">64</reflink>]), as well as bibliometric studies related to suicide (Astraud et al., [<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref54">5</reflink>]; Cai et al., [<reflink idref="bib15" id="ref55">15</reflink>]; Cheng et al., [<reflink idref="bib18" id="ref56">18</reflink>]). It demonstrates the high interest of researchers in this type of study. In contrast, no exhaustive bibliometric analysis on cyberbullying and suicide has been found. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were: (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref57">1</reflink>) To analyse the trend followed by annual publications on cyberbullying and suicide; (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref58">2</reflink>) To highlight the journals that concentrated the highest number of publications and citations; (<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref59">3</reflink>) To identify the prolific (most productive) and prominent (prolific co‐authors with papers between the most cited papers) co‐authors; (<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref60">4</reflink>) To point out the most cited papers; (<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref61">5</reflink>) To find the keywords most used by co‐authors. The global objective was to identify research trends in cyberbullying and suicide.</p> <hd id="AN0181548973-3">MATERIALS AND METHODS</hd> <p>A bibliometric study was conducted using the Web of Science (Reuters, [<reflink idref="bib69" id="ref62">69</reflink>]), as a homogenised database, the database most commonly used by researchers to perform scientific mappings in all types on research areas (Denche‐Zamorano et al., [<reflink idref="bib22" id="ref63">22</reflink>]; González‐Moreno et al., [<reflink idref="bib34" id="ref64">34</reflink>]; X. Huang et al., [<reflink idref="bib41" id="ref65">41</reflink>]; Navarrete‐Cortes et al., [<reflink idref="bib57" id="ref66">57</reflink>]; Shen & Ho, [<reflink idref="bib78" id="ref67">78</reflink>]; Valtonen et al., [<reflink idref="bib84" id="ref68">84</reflink>]; Vošner et al., [<reflink idref="bib86" id="ref69">86</reflink>]). Using a single database favours the homogenisation of bibliometric analyses, by comparing data from documents included in indexed journals and evaluated with the same criteria and quality indicators, for example: the impact factors and quartiles of journals (Aghaei Chadegani et al., [<reflink idref="bib17" id="ref70">17</reflink>]; Bakkalbasi et al., [<reflink idref="bib9" id="ref71">9</reflink>]; Falagas et al., [<reflink idref="bib29" id="ref72">29</reflink>]; Harzing & Alakangas, [<reflink idref="bib36" id="ref73">36</reflink>]; Mongeon & Paul‐Hus, [<reflink idref="bib55" id="ref74">55</reflink>]). Data set to be analysed was obtained by running an advanced search in the WoS search engine, specifically, in the WoS Core Collection, in its editions: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), were selected, based on search vectors on cyberbullying and suicide (ti = ("cyberbull*") or ti = ("cybervictim*") or ti = ("e‐bullying") or ti = ("online bullying") or ti = ("online bullies") or ti = ("electronic bullying") or ti = ("cyber‐harassment") or ti = ("online harassment") or ti = ("electronic harassment") or ab = ("cyberbull*") or ab = ("cybervictim*") or ab = ("e‐bullying") or ab = ("online bullying") or ab = ("online bullies") or ab = ("electronic bullying") or ab = ("cyber‐harassment") or ab = ("online harassment") or ab = ("electronic harassment")) and (ti = ("suicid*") or ab = ("suicid*")), limiting the search to: articles and reviews; no time limitations. This search vector was used because the inclusion criteria established were: (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref75">1</reflink>) Papers published in journals indexed in the WoS Main Collection, in its editions: SCIE, ESCI and SSCI; (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref76">2</reflink>) Papers that contained in the title (using the tag Ti in the search vector) and/or (using the boolean operator OR) abstract (using the tag ab in the search vector) the search terms cited above (cyberbullying related terms AND, boolean operator, terms with root "suicid", using "*" for this reason; 3) Type of papers: Articles and Reviews. In WoS, the ti and ab tags are used to search the titles and abstracts of documents. The search was conducted on 31 October 2022. The documents found were checked for compliance with the selection criteria. No documents had to be excluded.</p> <p>Once the documents were extracted, a bibliometric analysis was performed in which the following bibliometric laws were reviewed: (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref77">1</reflink>) Exponential growth of science or Price's Law, checking through the degree of exponential adjustment the annual growth of publications (Dobrov et al., [<reflink idref="bib23" id="ref78">23</reflink>]; Price, [<reflink idref="bib67" id="ref79">67</reflink>]); (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref80">2</reflink>) Concentration of publications in journals or Bradford's Law, distributing the journals in thirds and therefore establishing as the core of journals with the highest concentration those that comprise at least 33% of the total number of: publications; and citations; to highlight the most productive journals and the most cited (Bulick, [<reflink idref="bib14" id="ref81">14</reflink>]; Morse & Leimkuhler, [<reflink idref="bib56" id="ref82">56</reflink>]; Rodrigues‐Santana et al., [<reflink idref="bib70" id="ref83">70</reflink>]; Venable et al., [<reflink idref="bib85" id="ref84">85</reflink>]); (<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref85">3</reflink>) Concentration of publications in authors or Lotka's Law, recognising that in any field of knowledge, most of the articles come from a small proportion of prolific authors, who when identified, can be studied in isolation (Coile, [<reflink idref="bib19" id="ref86">19</reflink>]), applying the h‐index to these to highlight the most cited authors among the prolific (Hirsch, [<reflink idref="bib39" id="ref87">39</reflink>]; Rodrigues‐Santana et al., [<reflink idref="bib70" id="ref88">70</reflink>]), and among these, the authors with the most papers among the most cited papers were considered to be prominent authors; (<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref89">4</reflink>) Concentration of citations in articles or Hirsch's index (h‐index), thus considering the "h" articles cited at least "h" times or more (Hirsch, [<reflink idref="bib39" id="ref90">39</reflink>]); (<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref91">5</reflink>) Concentration of keywords or Zipf's Law, highlighting the most used keywords in the set of articles (Kingsley Zipf, [<reflink idref="bib47" id="ref92">47</reflink>]; Valderrama‐Zurián et al., [<reflink idref="bib83" id="ref93">83</reflink>]).</p> <p>In addition, the VOSviewer software was used for processing and visualisation of the data set as well as co‐occurrence, thus performing a fragmentation analysis with clustered visualisation outputs (Perianes‐Rodriguez et al., [<reflink idref="bib65" id="ref94">65</reflink>]; Waltman et al., [<reflink idref="bib87" id="ref95">87</reflink>]).</p> <hd id="AN0181548973-4">RESULTS</hd> <p></p> <hd id="AN0181548973-5">Annual publications trend</hd> <p>The 242 documents (213 articles and 29 reviews) found were published between 2009 and 2022. Since the publication of the first paper, <emph>Cyberbullying Versus Face‐to‐Face Bullying A Theoretical and Conceptual Review</emph> (Dooley et al., [<reflink idref="bib24" id="ref96">24</reflink>]) in January 2009, there has been continuity in annual publications, with the trend followed by annual publications adjusting by 89.2% (R<sups>2</sups>) to an exponential growth rate (Figure 1).</p> <p> <img src="https://imageserver.ebscohost.com/img/embimages/rdk/PIS/01jan25/pits23327-fig-0001.jpg?ephost1=dGJyMMvl7ESepq84yOvsOLCmsE6epq5Srqa4SK6WxWXS" alt="pits23327-fig-0001.jpg" title="1 Annual publications trend." /> </p> <p></p> <hd id="AN0181548973-7">WoS categories</hd> <p>In WoS, documents were related into 50 thematic categories. Psychiatry (<reflink idref="bib59" id="ref97">59</reflink>), Public Environmental Occupational (<reflink idref="bib38" id="ref98">38</reflink>), Psychology Multidisciplinary (<reflink idref="bib36" id="ref99">36</reflink>), Pedriatic (<reflink idref="bib22" id="ref100">22</reflink>), Psychology Developmental (<reflink idref="bib19" id="ref101">19</reflink>), Social Work (<reflink idref="bib17" id="ref102">17</reflink>), Criminology Penology (<reflink idref="bib15" id="ref103">15</reflink>), Family Studies (<reflink idref="bib15" id="ref104">15</reflink>), Environmental Sciences (<reflink idref="bib11" id="ref105">11</reflink>) and Communication (<reflink idref="bib10" id="ref106">10</reflink>) were the categories with the most related papers. Among the top ten categories with the most related documents, no category related to education was found: Education and Educational Research (9 documents), Psychology Educational (6 documents), Education Scientific Disciplines (3 documents), Education Special (2 documents).</p> <hd id="AN0181548973-8">Journals</hd> <p>A total of 158 journals were found publishing on the subject. Figure 2 shows the distribution of articles per journal.

Among its most notable findings, we found that annual publications on the subject were on an exponential growth trend. In previous bibliometric studies, it had already been shown that research on cyberbullying was at a time of growing interest, with a large volume of researchers developing this object of study. Cretu y col. (Cretu & Morandau, [<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref119">21</reflink>]) and González‐Moreno et al. (González‐Moreno et al., [<reflink idref="bib34" id="ref120">34</reflink>]) found that research on cyberbullying and education was in a phase of accelerated growth, very similar to what has been found in research on cyberbullying and suicide. There has not yet been a saturation of annual publications on cyberbullying, which shows the great interest of the scientific community to further develop this object of study. In these previous bibliometric studies, the documents were especially related to the WoS Categories: Psychology, and Education and Educational Research. This was different in our study, where the subject categories with the most papers were Psychiatry, Public Environmental Occupational and Psychology Multidisciplinary. In fact, although youth or adolescents appear as a keyword in 2 of the 4 author keywords thematic clusters, in our study, education‐related categories were not among those with the highest number of documents.</p> <p>Most research on cyberbullying and suicide is oriented towards thematic areas more related to psychology or psychiatry. This is similar to what has been found in bibliometric studies on suicide‐related research, both in the high growth of annual publications and in the leadership of researchers and journals specialised in psychology and/or psychiatry in research on this object of study (Astraud et al., [<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref121">5</reflink>]; Grover et al., [<reflink idref="bib35" id="ref122">35</reflink>]; Kar et al., [<reflink idref="bib45" id="ref123">45</reflink>]; Palod et al., [<reflink idref="bib63" id="ref124">63</reflink>]).</p> <p>In this sense, the low number of publications related to education is in line with the need to develop more research in this field with the object of study: cyberbullying and suicide; something that has already been concluded by other authors, especially in the need to create and implement multidisciplinary school intervention programmes, which not only involve mental health professionals but also parents, teachers and school management staffs (Abrahamyan et al., [<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref125">2</reflink>]). Research is needed to help increase adolescents' online safety, increase their self‐efficacy in situations of school bullying and cyberbullying, increase empathy and emotional intelligence, improve the classroom climate, train educators and family members to provide support, and implement educational prevention and intervention programmes to reduce the prevalence of cyberbullying and its effects. Moreover, these interventions should be more specific, as gender differences have been detected (Tian et al., [<reflink idref="bib80" id="ref126">80</reflink>]), with Jackson et al. (Jackson et al., [<reflink idref="bib42" id="ref127">42</reflink>]) suggesting a more focused work on relational aggression in girls, while in boys it would be better to increase affective and cognitive empathy (Topcu & Erdur‐Baker, [<reflink idref="bib81" id="ref128">81</reflink>]).</p> <p>Another relevant aspect that emerges from this study is the intimate relationship between cyberbullying and suicide with social networks and the internet. Numerous studies warn of the dangers that the misuse of social media can bring, potentially undermining the freedoms and well‐being of the people and communities they serve (Baccarella et al., [<reflink idref="bib6" id="ref129">6</reflink>]). Research on the misuse of social media concerning cyberbullying (O'Keeffe et al., [<reflink idref="bib60" id="ref130">60</reflink>]), trolling (Buckels et al., [<reflink idref="bib13" id="ref131">13</reflink>]), invasions of privacy (Pai & Arnott, [<reflink idref="bib62" id="ref132">62</reflink>]) or fake news (Allcott & Gentzkow, [<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref133">4</reflink>]) is increasingly common. In this sense, a link between the use of social media and mental health problems has already been shown (Keles et al., [<reflink idref="bib46" id="ref134">46</reflink>]), and if we add to this the misuse that could be made of them about bullying, it could become a major public health problem that can lead to mental and behavioural health problems and an increased risk of suicide (Ali & Shahbuddin, [<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref135">3</reflink>]; Garett et al., [<reflink idref="bib32" id="ref136">32</reflink>]; Van Geel et al., [<reflink idref="bib33" id="ref137">33</reflink>]). Therefore, there is a particular need for public health interventions to provide guidance, especially to adolescents, on the appropriate use of social networks, to prevent cyberbullying and therefore the mental health problems it can cause.</p> <p>Despite the importance that education has on cyberbullying and suicide, other studies highlight the importance that cyberbullying also has outside this field (Lam et al., [<reflink idref="bib49" id="ref138">49</reflink>]). In this line, and relation to one of the clusters defined in this study (homophobia), several studies have shown that sexual orientation can lead to greater victimisation by cyberbullying or be considered a risk factor for suffering these aggressions (Elipe et al., [<reflink idref="bib26" id="ref139">26</reflink>]). In addition to being associated with self‐harm or suicidal factors (Wright & Wachs, [<reflink idref="bib92" id="ref140">92</reflink>]), several studies have also shown negative health outcomes, such as depression and anxiety, or substance use from homophobic cyberbullying (Bishop et al., [<reflink idref="bib11" id="ref141">11</reflink>]; Garaigordobil & Larrain, [<reflink idref="bib31" id="ref142">31</reflink>]; Wang et al., [<reflink idref="bib88" id="ref143">88</reflink>]). Most studies on this population focus on youth or adolescence, however, as highlighted by Jenaro and col. (Jenaro et al., [<reflink idref="bib43" id="ref144">43</reflink>]) or Lam et al. (Lam et al., [<reflink idref="bib49" id="ref145">49</reflink>]), more studies in adulthood would be interesting, as cyberbullying in adults can be as serious as in young people (Jenaro et al., [<reflink idref="bib43" id="ref146">43</reflink>]). Furthermore, Jenaro et al. point out that the importance of studying cyberbullying in the adult population could be very relevant, as today's children will be tomorrow's adults, and the very high rates of cyberbullying in the adolescent population could therefore increase in the future adult population.</p> <p>As far as countries are concerned, the USA appears among the results of this study as the country with the highest number of documents (106 documents) on bullying and suicide, very different from the number of documents of the rest of the countries. This may be because the suicide rate per 100,000 inhabitants in this country in 2020 was 13.9%, well above the average suicide rate worldwide (9.26%), being this rate even higher between the years 2109 and 2017. Moreover, this same year, in the USA, suicides were the second leading cause of death among children and adolescents aged 10–14 years and young adults aged 25–34 years (Ehlman et al., [<reflink idref="bib25" id="ref147">25</reflink>]). Along these lines, the USA ranks second after Mexico as the country where children and adolescents suffer the highest rate of bullying (6 out of 10). Therefore, the fact that the US leads the list of studies could be translated into a concern for this situation and therefore a search for solutions to it.</p> <hd id="AN0181548973-18">Future lines and practical applications</hd> <p>The results of this study may have important practical applications, whether schools and communities can use the results of this research to design cyberbullying prevention and mental health promotion programs for children and adolescents by implementing early detection strategies to identify at‐risk youth and provide them with appropriate support. As well as, for mental health professionals, educators and counsellors, being able to benefit from information on the most commonly used keywords (such as "self‐harm", "cybervictimization" and "suicide risks"), for training in the detection and management of cyberbullying and suicidal ideation may be more effective based on the data from this study. In addition to for governments and organisations trying to specifically address cyberbullying and its mental health consequences.</p> <p>Despite the object of study of this research was all articles and article reviews found in WoS on cyberbullying and suicide, as future lines, other studies could focus on necessary future bibliometric analyses focusing on research on cyberbullying and mental health, cyberbullying prevention and intervention programs in education, or other specific areas (political, socio‐cultural, family, etc.), using other search terms. Moreover, as already recommended by other authors, educational policies are needed to deal severely with bullying and cyberbullying cases, creating new protocols for early identification and intervention of cases, explore the development and implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms capable of identifying and flagging cyberbullying behaviour on social media platforms, protecting victims, generating positive protective climates for victims, prosecuting aggressors and preventing suicide. Specifically, longitudinal studies tracing the trajectories of cyberbullied youth are crucial in understanding the long‐term impact on mental health and suicidal ideation. This encompasses interventions targeted at both prevention (e.g., anti‐bullying programs, digital literacy training) and post‐intervention support for cyberbullied youth and their families.</p> <hd id="AN0181548973-19">Limitations</hd> <p>These types of studies have some limitations. Although it is useful to perform prospective reviews of a scientific field, analysing large generic literature volumes: identifying research trends, co‐authors or referent institutions, underdeveloped areas or knowledge lacks in a field or study object; it should be complemented by systematic reviews or other studies specific to the findings. Another important limitation was the bias assumed in selecting the data source. Given the incompatibilities that can be found when analysing documents from different databases, especially when comparing the impact and relevance of authors, documents and journals, due to the different coverage of journals, proceedings and books, this research was carried out only with documents indexed in WoS, so this bibliometric study could be complemented by others that use other databases as a reference. Further research focusing on other databases, grey literature or other bibliographic sources could help to gain an even greater insight into the whole field of study that could not be investigated in our study by focusing on publications published in high‐impact, peer‐reviewed journals that do not publish papers published by other sources. It could also be considered a limitation to have focused on search terms explicitly linked to cyberbullying. Thus, publications in which bullying could be understood in a broad sense and cyberbullying was considered a subtype of the behaviour were not included. Finally, titles and abstracts were searched to increase the precision of the search. The search could have been broader, including searches on author keywords, but some papers related to the topic could not be escaped.</p> <hd id="AN0181548973-20">CONCLUSIONS</hd> <p>This study aimed to assess the trend of annual publications on cyberbullying and suicide. A growing interest of the scientific community in this topic was detected, as 242 papers were found between 2009 and 2022, with Psychiatry (<reflink idref="bib59" id="ref148">59</reflink>), Public Environmental Occupational (<reflink idref="bib38" id="ref149">38</reflink>), Psychology Multidisciplinary (<reflink idref="bib36" id="ref150">36</reflink>), Pedriatic (<reflink idref="bib22" id="ref151">22</reflink>) and Psychology Developmental (<reflink idref="bib19" id="ref152">19</reflink>) being the categories with the most related papers. As for the reference sources, out of a total of 158, only 20 comprise 36.8% of the publications, with the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Psychiatry Research, being the prolific journals.</p> <p>The USA was the most productive and most cited country/region of the 61 co‐authored countries and Canada was the second country in terms of papers and third in terms of the number of citations.</p> <p>At the author level, only 26 authors were considered prolific, with 3 or more papers, and of which, considering the H‐index only 22 prominent authors were found. Baiden and Kowalski were the prolific and most cited co‐authors, respectively.</p> <p>The authors' keywords formed five thematic lines: cyberbullying and bullying, linked to adolescents, suicide, depression, mental health, internet or social media; suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, linked to cybervictimization, victimisation and adolescence; substance use and homophobia; and finally, children.</p> <p>This document provides useful information for anyone involved in the approach to cyberbullying and suicide, facilitating the location of relevant authors, collaborative groups, journals interested in the subject, most relevant articles and semantic fields most used by the authors. In this way, this document aims to encourage collaboration between researchers, thus facilitating the access of new researchers to an object of study that needs to be studied in depth.

  Data: Suicide is a global mental health problem. In recent years, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and suicides have increased in children and adolescents. In this population, cyberbullying is a public health problem that has grown along the increase in use of devices with internet access. Cybervictimization is related to negative health effects, even including suicidal ideation or suicide in cyberbullied individuals. This study is the first bibliometric analysis on scientific literature related to cyberbullying and suicide based on the traditional laws of bibliometrics. The aim was to generate a global overview of the research related to this object of study. We analysed 242 documents published in journals indexed in the Web of Science, examining the trend followed by annual publications, identifying the prolific (most productive) and prominent (prolific co-authors with one or more papers between most cited papers) co-authors, leading countries and journals, the most cited documents and the most used author keywords. Annual publications followed an exponential growth trend (R[superscript 2] = 89.2%), meaning that there is a great interest in the scientific community for this study object. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Psychiatry Research were the journals with most document published. Baiden, P. (prolific), Kowalski, R. (most cited), Hinjuja, S. and Patchin, J. (prominents) were the most highlighted co-authors, reference authors on the subject. Most scientific output originated in the USA. Five thematic lines were identified among the author keywords. The results of this research show the growing interest of the scientific community in this topic, along with useful information for researchers and publishers, identifying relevant co-authors, journals interested in the topic and emerging lines of research, highlighting self-harm, cyber-victimisation, suicide risks and suicidal behaviours as the most recent thematic lines.
