Suicide cases have increased drastically over the years, while the upsurge has inevitably spiked society's concerns. Suicidal behaviours such as suicidal ideation have received special attention from professionals due to the harmful and irreversible consequences of possible suicide attempts. There is increasing concern that a more complete understanding of suicidal ideation trends is necessary to achieve scientific insights into suicidal behaviours through future integrated advanced research efforts. Thus, this paper aims to observe research patterns through publication outputs and co-authorships among authors and affiliated countries, besides co-occurrences of author keywords from the Scopus database. Using 'suicidal ideation' as the keyword on Scopus, this bibliometric analysis explored the global pattern of suicidal ideation research published between 1960 and 2020 and retrieved 3,061 records. Seven out of 15 most productive universities from the world's top 100 best universities were found in the leading countries lists. The United States was found as dominating the research area with 80% of the publications. In conclusion, the study found that researchers have made significant progress in the research area of suicidal ideation over the years; however, the topic still warrants further analysis to understand suicidality from a broader perspective.
多年来，自杀案例急剧增加，这一激增不可避免地引发了社会的关注。诸如自杀意念等自杀行为因其可能导致的有害且不可逆转的后果而受到专业人士的特别关注。人们越来越担心，有必要更全面地了解自杀意念趋势，以便通过未来综合先进的研究努力，对自杀行为获得科学见解。因此，除了通过Scopus数据库中作者关键词的共现情况外，本文旨在通过出版物产出、作者之间的共同署名以及作者所属国家来观察研究模式。以“自杀意念”作为Scopus上的关键词，这项文献计量分析探索了1960年至2020年间发表的自杀意念研究的全球模式，并检索到3061条记录。在世界百强大学中，15所产出最多的大学中有7所出现在领先国家名单中。研究发现，美国在该研究领域占据主导地位，占出版物的80%。总之，该研究发现，多年来研究人员在自杀意念研究领域取得了重大进展；然而，该主题仍需进一步分析，以便从更广泛的角度理解自杀行为。
