Abstract
|
|
|
|
This paper reviews the topics and methodologies of the 334 papers published in the journal, “Health and Social Science” for the last 20 years. We conducted classical quantitative content analysis and topic modeling using Structural Topic Model (STM) to identify the topics. The findings of this study were summarized as follows: (1) the social epidemiology research has steadily been increased while the studies on the health-related institutions and policies has been dropped, (2) the quantitative research had grown and consisted of 84% of the total studies by 2012 and dropped to 65%. Throughout the period, the researches on physicians, patients, and hospitals were rarely conducted. The lack of studies on the diseases and the limitations of data collection were remained as one of the major problems to be solved.
