Compared to previous volumes, an increased number of examined materials have to be referred. In fact, during the current semester, the number of articles scrutinised has been the highest yet, with a progression that testifies a remarkably growing interest from scholars for the field of suicide research (718 articles for the first, 757 for the second, 892 for the third, and 1,121 for the forth, and 1,276 for the present volume). As usual, the initial section of the volume collects a number of publications that could have particular relevance for the Australian people in terms of potential appli- cability. These researches are accompanied by a short comment from us, and an explanation of the motives that justify why we have considered of interest the imple- mentation of studies’ findings in the Australian context. An introductory part pro- vides the rationale and the methodology followed in the identification of papers. The central part of the volume represents a selection of research articles of par- ticular significance; their abstracts are reported in extenso, underlining our invitation at reading those papers in full text: they represent a remarkable advancement of suicide research knowledge. The last section reports all items retrievable from major electronic databases. We have catalogued them on the basis of their prevailing reference to fatal and non-fatal suicidal behaviours, with various sub-headings (e.g., epidemiology, risk factors, etc). The deriving list guarantees a level of completeness superior to any individual system; it can constitute a useful tool for all those interested in a quick update of what most recently
