Using search terms such as resilience, resiliency, or resilient from 2010 onwards, there were approximately 96,442 peer-reviewed academic journal articles, complemented by 1357 reviews at the time of writing. In contrast, the highly researched field of coping produced only 95,858 peer-reviewed articles with 406 reviews.
