KEEPING UP WITH RESEARCH ON SUICIDE
David Lester
My reviews of suicide research and theory spanned the years 1887 to 1997, and then I stopped because the volume of papers became too great if I wanted to peruse every paper, chapter and book on suicidal behavior. Retirement can be boring at times. Maybe I could take up my reviews in my retirement?
How many papers were published with suicid* in the title in 1998. PsycInfo gave me 571 items, PubMed 934 items, Sociological Abstracts 196 items, Criminal Justice Abstracts 73 items, Criminology Collection 136 items, and Business Source Premier 105 items.
That is why I stopped in 1997!
