Bibliometric Review of Mental Health Research

In conjunction with our partners in the Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders (formerly SOS), and RAND Europe, GBF and the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (INMHA) comissioned a bibliometric study of mental health research. Over 350,000 papers on mental health research from 20 countries, accounting for over 95% of research output were identified in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science. 

Mental Health Retrosight Project

The first project to be funded through the Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders (formerly Science of Science for Mental Health Research Network) is Mental Health Retrosight, a multinational study that will evaluate the translation and payback from basic or early clinical mental health research into clinical application and community practice. This project will provide a long-term view of the factors involved in successful research.
