Abstract
Introduction: violence against women is a global public health
problem. Although there has been much research done on violence against
women there are few studies to provide of the current scientific
production.
Method: In this study, bibliometric analysis has been
used to evaluate the 1,984 documents from 1986 to 2020 based on SCOPUS
databases. These documents were analyzed quantitatively by Bibliometric R
Package and VOSviewer software. In addition, the 20 top-cited papers
were analyzed qualitatively.
Results: The research findings show that
the United States is a leader in this field with the most highly cited
articles and also the most number of publications followed by the UK,
Canada, Australia, and South Africa. A total of 1,984 documents were
collected from the Scopus database and were analyzed in bibliometric
Research Package and VOSviewer. Results showed that the average
citations per year for each document were 23.39% and the annual
scientific production growth rate was 16.86%. Keywords analysis
indicates that most articles focus on sexual violence”, "sexual
assault”, intimate partner violence”, “violence against women”, “sexual
abuse”, “domestic violence”, “child sexual abuse”, “prevention” and
“rape”. Sources such as the “Journal of Interpersonal Violence”,
“Journal of Violence Against Woman”, “Journal of Violence and Victims”,
“Psychology of Women Quarterly”, “Journal of Adolescent Health”,
“Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology”, and “American Journal
of Public Health”, “Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology” and
“American journal of Public Health and Lancet” are the top most
productive in this field.
Conclusion: Examining the articles showed
that the vast majority of women have experienced verbal, sexual,
intimate partner violence, cyber harassment, etc.
