Strik's recent publications demonstrate a focus on psychomotor abnormalities and clinical educational methods. Some notable recent papers include:

  • Movement disorder and sensorimotor abnormalities in schizophrenia and other psychoses - European consensus on assessment and perspectives, 2020, European Neuropsychopharmacology
  • Working with entrustable professional activities in clinical education in undergraduate medical education: a scoping review, 2021, BMC Medical Education
  • Anatomical integrity within the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus and semantic processing deficits in schizophrenia spectrum disorders, 2020, Schizophrenia Research
  • Inhibitory Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Treat Psychomotor Slowing: A Transdiagnostic, Mechanism-Based Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial, 2020, Schizophrenia Bulletin Open
  • The polysemous concepts of psychomotricity and catatonia: A European multi-consensus perspective, 2021, European Neuropsychopharmacology

Their research outputs have appeared in several specialized venues, with frequent publications in:

  • Bern Open Repository and Information System (University of Bern)
  • Schizophrenia Bulletin
  • European Neuropsychopharmacology
  • BMC Medical Education
  • Advances in Medical Education and Practice

Collaborations form a significant part of Strik's research network. Frequently co-authoring with other researchers, key collaborators include Sebastian Walther, Katharina Stegmayer, Roland Wiest, Andrea Federspiel, and Thomas Dierks.

Werner Strik's interdisciplinary approach combines clinical and neuroimaging techniques to explore neurological and psychiatric conditions, emphasizing schizophrenia spectrum disorders and psychomotor symptoms. Their work further extends into medical education, particularly regarding clinical training and assessment methods.
