The researchers first identified 23 articles from Google Scholar, Academia.edu, JSTOR, Research Gate and Google Browser and then they sorted out 14 most relevant articles on the topic. Then the researchers did systematic analysis where 10 reported suicidal cases were identified and those were analyzed in light of Durkheim¿s sociological analysis of Suicide.
