In the last decade, research on “sexting” has undergone an exponential increase, giving rise to the publication of numerous studies clarifying its meaning, offering information of educational value, and favoring a good use of technology to prevent problems caused by this exchange of sexual information. The aim of this article was to analyze the production, performance, impact, and content of scientific articles evaluating the “sexting” thesaurus (title, abstract, and/or keywords) between 2009 and September 2019. Articles were sourced from two internationally recognized databases: Scopus and Web of Science. A scientometric study was then carried out on a sample of 641 articles that met the established inclusion criteria. The main findings indicate that “sexting” is a very recent research focus, but one in full growth phase, with scientific production related to the topic likely to double over the next few years. Although “sexting” has been researched worldwide, the scientific production of the US and American authors is the most notable. There were also some differences between the Scopus and Web of Science databases, mainly in the volume of production and the trend. However, the studies do show a common research line, “cyberbullying,” and a common target population: adolescents. Therefore, the content analysis reveals that research on “sexting” is mostly carried out with adolescents and takes into consideration other themes such as cyberbullying, dating violence, and sexuality.

在过去的十年中，关于“性短信”的研究呈指数级增长，催生了大量研究的发表，阐明了其含义，提供了具有教育价值的信息，并支持充分利用技术来防止这种性信息交流引起的问题。信息。本文的目的是分析 2009 年至 2019 年 9 月期间评估“性短信”同义词库（标题、摘要和/或关键词）的科学文章的产量、表现、影响和内容。文章来源于两个国际公认的数据库：Scopus 和 Web of Science。然后对符合既定纳入标准的 641 篇文章样本进行了科学计量研究。主要发现表明，“色情短信”是最近的一个研究热点，但仍处于全面发展阶段，未来几年，与该主题相关的科学成果可能会增加一倍。尽管“色情短信”在全世界范围内都有研究，但美国和美国作家的科学成果最为引人注目。Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库之间也存在一些差异，主要是在产量和趋势方面。然而，这些研究确实显示了一个共同的研究方向，即“网络欺凌”，以及一个共同的目标人群：青少年。因此，内容分析表明，对“色情短信”的研究主要针对青少年，并考虑了网络欺凌、约会暴力和性等其他主题。Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库之间也存在一些差异，主要是在产量和趋势方面。然而，这些研究确实显示了一个共同的研究方向，即“网络欺凌”，以及一个共同的目标人群：青少年。因此，内容分析表明，对“色情短信”的研究主要针对青少年，并考虑了网络欺凌、约会暴力和性等其他主题。Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库之间也存在一些差异，主要是在产量和趋势方面。然而，这些研究确实显示了一个共同的研究方向，即“网络欺凌”，以及一个共同的目标人群：青少年。因此，内容分析表明，对“色情短信”的研究主要针对青少年，并考虑了网络欺凌、约会暴力和性等其他主题。
