Domestic violence is highly prevalent in Australia and has serious and complex impacts. This study aimed to analyse research outputs on domestic violence in Australia from the period of 1984 to 2019. Articles relevant to domestic violence in Australia that met specified inclusion criteria were retrieved using the Scopus database. Bibliometric analysis of the output was conducted to examine trends in publications. A trend of an increase in publications relating to domestic violence in Australia over time was identified, with the majority published in institutions located in densely populated capital cities. Significant diversity was found in the subject matter of highly cited articles, reflecting the far-reaching impacts of domestic violence. The increase in social attention to domestic violence over time was reflected in an increase in publications. Future research would benefit from examining trends in the reporting of domestic violence, and analysing the effectiveness of interventions for perpetrators and victims.
家庭暴力在澳大利亚非常普遍,其影响严重且复杂。本研究旨在分析 1984 年至 2019 年期间澳大利亚有关家庭暴力的研究成果。使用 Scopus 数据库检索符合特定纳入标准的有关澳大利亚家庭暴力的文章。对研究成果进行文献计量分析,以研究出版物的趋势。研究发现,随着时间的推移,有关澳大利亚家庭暴力的出版物呈增加趋势,其中大部分发表在人口稠密的首府城市的机构中。高引用文章的主题存在显著差异,反映出家庭暴力的深远影响。随着时间的推移,社会对家庭暴力的关注度不断提高,这反映在出版物的增加上。未来的研究将受益于对家庭暴力报告趋势的研究,并分析针对施暴者和受害者的干预措施的有效性。
