Purpose

The database of the Web of Science (WoS) was searched for publications from January 1945–May 7, 2020 on the topic of domestic violence in titles, abstracts and keywords. The references were analyzed using the R bibliometrix package, and abstracts were analyzed using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) with collapsed Gibbs sampling to obtain topics related to domestic violence.

Design/methodology/approach

The aim of the study is to explore and provide an overview of research carried out on domestic violence, in its various aspects, over the past fifty years.

Findings

As a result of the research, the authors can assert that in the last fifty years, 32,298 authors have produced 19,495 documents on the theme of policing strategy and related subjects in 111 countries. Scientific production in this area grows at a rate of 12.81 per year. The United States of America is the leading country in publications with 48.14%, followed by the United Kingdom with 7.57% and Australia with 6.05%. Regarding universities, the highlight is the University of California with 664 publications, followed by the University of London with 515 and the University of North Carolina with 484. As for journals, the highlight is the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Journal of Family Violence and Violence Against Women, which account for more than 14.32% of all indexed literature. Regarding the authors, the highlight is Campbell J.C and Feder G. Probabilistic topic modeling revealed that 18% of the topics concentrate 90% of all tokens. Topic 1 accounts for 27.9% of the sample and conducts research related to intimate partner violence.

Practical implications

As a practical implication of using the LDA in the bibliographic review, we infer that its capacity to explore large masses of data allows the researcher to explore an infinitely greater amount than the traditional methods of systematic literature review.

Originality/value

The value of these studies is summarized in the presentation of an overview on the theme in the last fifty years, offering the opportunity for other researchers to use this research as a starting point for other analyses.

家庭暴力研究中的知识发现：过去五十年的概述

目的

在科学网 (WoS) 的数据库中搜索了 1945 年 1 月至 2020 年 5 月 7 日期间关于标题、摘要和关键字中家庭暴力主题的出版物。使用 R bibliometrix 包分析参考文献，并使用潜在狄利克雷分配 (LDA) 和折叠吉布斯抽样分析摘要，以获得与家庭暴力相关的主题。

设计/方法/方法

该研究的目的是探索和概述过去 50 年来在各个方面对家庭暴力进行的研究。

发现

作为研究的结果，作者可以断言，在过去的 50 年中，32,298 位作者在 111 个国家/地区制作了 19,495 篇以警务战略和相关主题为主题的文件。该领域的科学生产以每年 12.81 的速度增长。美国以 48.14% 位居榜首，其次是英国（7.57%）和澳大利亚（6.05%）。在大学方面，突出的是加州大学，有 664 篇论文，其次是伦敦大学，有 515 篇，北卡罗来纳大学有 484 篇。反对女性，占所有索引文献的 14.32% 以上。关于作者，亮点是 Campbell J. C 和 Feder G. 概率主题建模显示 18% 的主题集中了所有令牌的 90%。主题 1 占样本的 27.9%，进行与亲密伴侣暴力相关的研究。

实际影响

作为在书目评论中使用 LDA 的实际意义，我们推断其探索大量数据的能力使研究人员能够探索比系统文献综述的传统方法无限大的数量。

原创性/价值

这些研究的价值在过去五十年的主题概述中进行了总结，为其他研究人员提供了将这项研究用作其他分析的起点的机会。
