Violencia doméstica: una revisión bibliográfica y bibliométrica

Luis Rodríguez Franco, Javier López-Cepero y Francisco Javier Rodríguez Díaz*

Universidad de Sevilla y * Universidad de Oviedo

La violencia ejercida entre personas vinculadas por lazos familiares y afectivos ha ganado gran relevancia social en los últimos años. Diversos profesionales han propuesto una gran variedad de conceptos para estudiar el fenómeno, sin que exista hasta el momento un acuerdo sobre lo apropiado de cada uno de éstos. El presente estudio se centra en el análisis de la productividad bibliográfica en torno al término Violencia Doméstica (Domestic Violence), quizás el más arraigado para describir la violencia en la pareja, y ofrece datos sobre años de publicación, país, idioma, sexo de la muestra, grupos de edad, revistas y autores más productivos y la relación víctima-agresor en dichas publicaciones, para finalizar con una reflexión sobre la pertinencia de su uso.

Domestic violence: A bibliographic and bibliometric review. Violence among relatives and emotionally linked people has recently made a huge social impact. Professionals have suggested diverse concepts to explain the issue, but they have not yet reached an agreement about these concepts. The present work focuses on the scientific yield associated with the keywords «Domestic Violence», perhaps the most commonly used to refer to violence in romantic couples. A series of related publications is analyzed and data about publication years, countries, languages, sample genders, age groups, most prolific journals and authors, and victim-abuser relationships is provided, along with a reflection upon the correctness of the usage of the keyword.
