Resumen

Objective: This study examines the research productivity on child maltreatment across the globe from 2012 to 2021. Furthermore, we employed scientometric statistic measurements to analysis of child maltreatment productivity.

Method: The scientometric qualitative method was used for this study, and the required data was retrieved from the Web of Science database.

Results: In this study, the authors have taken the Web of Science database as the data source. The keyword Child Maltreatment has used for extracting the required data for this analysis. The retrieved data was analyzed using VOSviewer and Bibexcel software. A total of 4661 documents were retrieved for this study. The study shows that the average citation per paper and publication efficiency index increased from 2012 to 2021. Similarly, the degree of collaboration was observed to be an upward trend in 2021. The collaborative co-efficiency index and modified collaborative co-efficiency index values were observed in the growing trend in 2021. The most productive author in the study was Cicchetti D, who has published 66 (0.56%) documents.

Conclusions: This study has evaluated the growth and trend of child maltreatment productivity across the globe from 2012 to 2021. It has shown that constant growth in the selected period. It has provided an understanding of child maltreatment publications.
