Trends in political violence studies: A bibliometric analysis of a decade 2014-2024
Keywords:
Bibliometrics, Scopus, VOSviewers, Political violence, A decade 2014-2024Abstract
This study aims to explore and evaluate studies that discuss political violence in the last decade 2014-2024. In addition to using bibliometric analysis, this study also uses VOSviewers-based software in exploring and evaluating network patterns, trends, entities, and characteristics of political violence studies in a decade based on the Scopus database. From the exploration of 7739 Scopus database documents, the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada are the three most active countries in publishing political violence studies in the last decade. The London School of Economics and Political Science, the University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge, have the three most affiliations in publishing political violence studies in the journals Terrorism and Political Violence, Journal of Peace Research, and Political Geography in the past decade. This study also recommends the importance of future studies to analyze the factors and implications of political violence conceptually and praxis on the welfare of people in a country.
