Abstract
Science means research. Current research in suicidology, however, needs development. Therefore, a task force was established by the International Academy for Suicide Research (IASR) to make recommendations for future study of suicide. These consultations are offered only as current thoughts to assist, not only in research, but also to aid in preventing suicide.
