Hotspots and Trends of Adolescent Cyberbullying: A Review Using the Bibliometric Approach on Citespace

摘要

Cyberbullying has become a major adolescent issue worldwide. This paper used CiteSpace to analyze the articles on adolescent cyberbullying in the WoS core database from 1986 to 2019. The results provide an overview of the field of adolescent cyberbullying, including the changes in publications on an annual basis; the most influential countries, institutions, authors, and journals; as well as analysis of keyword co-occurrence, and highly cited references in the field. Knowledge maps were obtained in order to understand the hotspots and to infer the research trends in the field. This paper hopes to serve as a reference for future research on cyberbullying.
