RESEARCHES ON THE SUBJECT OF “VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN”: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS SINCE 2000
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to measure the existing scientific contribution on the subject of “violence
against women (VAW)” since 2000. The data set of this research is compiled of the articles searched
by the keyword “violence against women” on Web of Science (WOS) data base. These articles were
analyzed bibliometrically according to their annual frequency, field of interest, country, institution,
journals they were published in and their authors in five-year periods since 2000. Besides the social
network among countries, institutions and authors contributed to the VAW literature was disclosed.
It is observed that there had been a significant increase in the scientists’ interest on the subject of
VAW since 2000. It is also remarkable that the USA stands out as the leading country on this subject
in all the three periods. The academic cooperation between the authors and the universities that are
studying on the subject of VAW has been improved especially starting from 2010. It is believed that the
obtained data in this study and presented social network structures among countries, universities and
authors would serve as a guide for the improvement of future international cooperative works among
the leading universities and researchers that study to protect the women against the violence.
