Language of publication of journal articles on suicide and mental disorders.
English as the language of publication for articles on suicide in the medical literature increased from 58% of articles in 1966 to 79% in 1986. This increase occurred at the expense of all languages. These changes parallel those for the language of publication of articles on mental disorders and all medical subjects.
